Variable Rate Technology

Variable rate technology is for those who are further along in their precision farming journey and requires a precision farming-ready display to take advantage of the benefits. Having a conversation with your Case IH dealer should be your first step when considering implementing these technologies into your operation.

We have the variable rate fertilizing, seeding and sprayer rate technologies that are compatible with both Case IH and mixed fleet ecosystems. So whichever one you run, we have the hardware and software to help you maximize your efficiencies day in and day out.

While upgrading your current equipment with variable rate technology can help you achieve greater levels of precision accuracy, you should speak with your Case IH dealer to determine whether it’s a cost-effective option for you and your operation. Investing in new equipment, factory-fit with the latest variable rate technology, is another option to consider.

Deliver seeds and inputs precisely where you want them.

With variable rate technologies—variable rate seeding, variable rate fertilizing and sprayer rate controls—you can increase your accuracy, efficiency and potential yield season after season.

VARIABLE RATE SEEDING

Variable rate seeding allows you to fully maximize your yield potential by distributing your seeds exactly where they need to be to allow for a healthy germination and growing environment. You will need a higher-end precision farming-ready display to help you to realize the benefits of variable rate seeding.

Precision Planting SpeedTube<sup>®</sup>

Precision Planting SpeedTube®

A seed delivery system for planters that helps increase planting speed and improve accuracy and performance of seed placement. (works well with beans, corn, cotton and sugarbeets)

  • vSet®, vDrive® and SpeedTube are all required to be installed together for fast and efficient seed placement
