2024 Case IH Precision Disk 550T Air Drill 40 ft. (12.19 m)

Whether you’re equipped with tow-behind, tow-between or mounted seed tanks, get high-capacity air seeding with consistent seed placement and better seed-to-soil contact with Case IH Precision Disk air drills.

Case IH Precision Disk air drills are designed to help you work more efficiently, so you can be more productive — no matter the residue conditions you’re dealing with or crops you plant. Precision Disk air drills are a versatile seeding tool to help you seed a broad range of crops more consistently and effectively. Plus, Precision Disk air drills allow you to seed at higher speeds and spend less time on daily maintenance.

A mounted tank with a capacity of up to 140 bu. provides greater in-field productivity. Available with 30- and 40-foot toolbar widths.

Features may include:

AFS Furrow Command™ for Precision Disk Air Drills increase the accuracy and versatility you need to get the most out of every seed in a variety of crops and conditions. AFS Furrow Command helps operators consistently maintain seed depth, regardless of terrain to boost productivity and yield potential — and make the most of every moment in the field.

AFS Furrow Command, available for Precision Disk 550T, 550, and 500DS, helps you make informed decisions on setting downforce via gauge wheel sensors that provide in-cab feedback. You can also adjust downforce automatically while traveling through the field, allowing the drill to effortlessly deal with changing field terrain and soil conditions and also maintain positive contact with the ground. This ensures the row unit is always achieving its set depth to optimize your fields.

With AFS Furrow Command, you can:

• Simplify your operation – There’s no need to change settings for different conditions to achieve seed depth consistency.

• Improve depth control - Adjust the hydraulic pressure for each frame section independently.

• Reduce component wear – Feedback from the system allows you to minimize the force required to maintain gauge wheel contact with the ground.

Through our Customer Driven Product Design (CDPD) process, Case IH has engineered an agronomically designed row unit that cuts residue; opens a high-quality, uniform seed trench; delivers the seed perfectly; and closes the trench better than any row unit in the marketplace. With the Precision Disk 500 double shoot (DS) air drill, you can add to those benefits saving time by seeding and fertilizing simultaneously. The Precision Disk 550 series air drill makes further advances to the parallel-link row unit design, offering greater seed placement accuracy than ever before.

Convenience and Durability in a Rugged Frame Design

Our main frame utilizes wall tubes to support the row unit carrying the subframe The center main frame’s tubes are oriented in a "V" shape to distribute the weight of the main frame, adding additional support and stability during transport. The front caster wheels travel in a different path than the rear caster wheels, providing exceptional weight distribution and reduced ground pressure for even emergence while allowing for a smaller transport envelope. Nearly every part of the machine is powder coated to provide a superior paint coating that is resistant to impacts and paint-fading UV rays and helps prevent corrosion.

A three-section frame drill with single-fold wings provides narrow transport.
