Case IH Precision Disk 500T air drill

The Case IH Precision Disk 500T single disk air drill features an on-board mounted 70- or 100-bushel tank with seed metering, four-section overlap control and unmatched maneuverability. New for 2018, producers can add tank-mounted weigh scales. Tank weighs are accessible through the Case IH Advanced Farming Systems AFS Pro 700 display or other compatible displays. A display on the rear tank platform also provides on-the-go weight readouts.

For high-capacity air seeding, the Precision Disk 500 air drill and Case IH Precision Air 5 series air carts offer tow-behind or tow-between configurations and capacities ranging from 350 to 950 bushels. Precision Air 5 series air carts feature an innovative modular metering control system that accurately places seed and fertilizer. Air carts also feature an AFS AccuSection modular metering control system.

Technology advancements

The latest software update provides a better user interface for improved ease of operation with a similar look-and-feel of Precision Air 5 series carts.

An optional wireless flow blockage monitoring system — available for the Precision Disk 500, Flex Hoe 400 and Flex Hoe 700 air drills — uses acoustic sensors to “listen” for the sound of seed and fertilizer flow, and also provides real-time continuous blockage status updates while tracking blockage history.

Case IH is also expanding its Flex Hoe 700 lineup with an 80-foot width offering. The new Flex Hoe 700 features a fold-back design for safe, easy transport and storage; 10- or 12-inch trip spacing configurations; rubber or steel press wheels and optional high-flotation tires.
