DON’T JUDGE A SEEDBED BY ITS SURFACE A level seedbed is key to maximizing yields, and it’s the reason why producers spend time and money creating a smooth seedbed surface. However, a seedbed consists of more than just the soil surface. It’s comprised of the entire layer of soil where the seed is placed and germinates, including the seedbed floor. It’s the seedbed floor that impacts the planter’s ability to place seeds at the desired depth and spacing — ultimately affecting yield. Now, with seedbed sensing technology, you can identify what’s hidden below the surface to optimize the seedbed floor.
SEEDBED ASSUMPTION
The seedbed surface is the most important aspect of seedbed preparation. When properly set, nearly all vertical tillage tools provide a smooth surface appearance. So, what makes the Case IH True-Tandem vertical tillage lineup different from the competition? The difference lies beneath the surface.

SEEDBED REALITY
The seedbed floor impacts even plant emergence and is fundamental in maximizing yields. Nearly all vertical tillage tools leave an uneven seedbed floor—it’s a matter of to what degree. The bumpy sub-surface minimizes planter performance and leads to uneven seed placement.
ADVANTAGES
• The True-Tandem vertical tillage lineup delivers an even, smooth seedbed by leveling the entire soil layer — including the seedbed floor. • Front and rear gang blades are precisely indexed to each other to remove any unevenness in the floor. • The smooth sub-surface maximizes planter productivity to place seeds at the desired depth and spacing. • Achieve uniform germination, rapid emergence and increased yields.
