AirForce® by Precision Planting is a downforce control system that measures variability in the field and automatically adjusts your downforce needs to changing field environments, so you stop sacrificing yield as environments in your fields change.
AirForce uses the weight measured by the load cells along with an air compressor containing valves, to automatically increase or decrease the amount of pressure in airbags on the planter to get the average gauge wheel weight correct. The pressure in the airbags on each row is the same. AirForce does a great job accounting for large changes in the field, like slope or soil type changes.
AirForce measures and adjusts downforce through the planter’s airbags. It works on planters with down and lift bags, down-only bags, and lift-only bags. It operates as either planter-wide or a two-section control mode.
No more getting out of the cab to manually adjust every single row. Set your planter-wide or section-wide downforce amount from the cab and let the planter do the rest.
Compaction created by excess downforce carried on the planter's depth gauge wheels will compact soil and remove pore space in the soil. Proper downforce maintains consistent planting depth and good sidewall integrity, which overall drives more even plant emergence.
