ADVANCED 2-Stage Closing System

Stage 1 – Side Wall Elimination

Inverted angled closing disks provide consistent moist soil replacement and coverage, placing high-moisture soil directly onto and around the seed.

Stage 2 – Remove Air Pockets / Level Seed Bed

A firming leveling press wheel ensures proper seed-to-soil contact for uniform emergence. A chevron pattern on the press wheel provides a stress crack relief in crusting soils and channels water to the root zone area.

 

A bigger  harvest starts with optimum seed-to-soil contact at planting. Nothing delivers that better than a press wheel. Not chains, not conventional closing wheels, nothing.

John Deere planters typically are equipped with “V” closing wheels. Ag Focus has developed a superior closing system using an advanced press wheel – FastTrac™.

FastTrac vs. “V” closing wheels

V-shaped closing wheels pinch dry, crusty topsoil back into the trench. That leaves a compacted sidewall and a hard crust. That result is a poor start for your seeds and stunted harvest.

FastTrac gives seeds the best possible opportunity to reach their full yield potential. In our proven two-stage closing process, we bring the zero-pressure press wheel over the top and seal out all the air pockets, getting the seeds off to a fast, uniform start:

  1. FastTrac’s double inverted closing disks provide consistent soil replacement and coverage, placing high-moisture soil where it’s needed most, directly around the seed.
  2. A chevron pattern creates a stress crack relief in crusting soils and channels water to the roots.

Your result, with FastTrac, is faster seed germination and earlier, more even emergence. And that leads to bigger, more uniform  for more tonnage and more consistent sugar content.

Each FastTrac wheel has its own independent suspension, keeping the wheel where it belongs and eliminating free wheel spin.

The tread leaves a line that makes it easy for emerging plants to poke through crusty soil to reach the sunlight and grow and grow and grow.

FastTrac bolts directly on to John Deere planters. It’s simple and durable.

To fertilize as you plant, just order your FastTrac with optional tubes.

Fast Trac 2x2x2 Fertilizer

The FastTrac 2X2X2 allows you to accurately and easily apply liquid fertilizer at planting time. Liquid is streamed into the root zone for easier access by the plant to give your crops the edge they need in their early stages of development and to give you a big yield boost.

Fertilizer Where the Plant Needs It

  • Instead of spraying on top of the ground, the Brackets position fertilizer for rapid uptake by the plant, 1.5–2″ deep where the roots can access it right away.
  • Liquid is placed evenly on both sides, 2-3″ from the seed trench for easier access by the plant.
  • Because it is streamed into trenches at low PSI, there is no splatter on the planter row unit, so less fertilizer is wasted.

 

Features

  • Brackets are made with stainless steel hardware for corrosion protection and product longevity.
  • Operation requires no additional down pressure on the row unit.
  • Brackets work equally well in conventional, strip-till, or no-till applications.
  • Calibrations are easy to set.
  • Very little maintenance is required.
