Accurate Insecticide Delivery

Mechanical drive systems require costly and time-consuming maintenance. vDrive is a maintenance-free electric drive system that lets you breeze through planting without the headaches of a mechanical drive system.

Traditional granular insecticide delivery systems need to be calibrated to certain speed for accurate delivery. The problem is that they are then only accurate at the one speed. Plant faster or slower than that speed and you are over or under applying. But not with vDrive Insecticide.

Correct Rate at Any Speed

vDrive Insecticide uses an electric motor and meter to accurately deliver the correct rate of insecticide no matter what speed you are planting. vDrive Insecticide also provides you with swath control and turn compensation so that no matter what shape your field is, you get accuracy. And you get that accuracy without chains, sprockets, or orifices. Simplify your planter, control your insecticide through the 20|20 monitor, and control pests the responsible way with vDrive Insecticide.
