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®
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
- Component of the 10-mph planting solution
- Eliminates seed tube bounce of seeds
- Seeds are released to match ground speed, which reduces furrow tumbling
Precision Planting WaveVision®
Measures seed populations by using high-frequency radio waves to measure mass instead of shape so the seed can’t be confused with dust particles.
- Counts seeds, not dust, for greater planting data accuracy
- To prevent seed tube wear, it’s constructed with tungsten carbide wear tips
- Does not use an optical sensor to ensure the prevention of seed ricochet, which can cause skips/doubles
- In-cab visualization of seed frequency through Case IH Pro 700 or 1200 displays allows operator to easily see seed skips or multiples
Precision Planting SmartFirmer®
A seed firmer sensor that measures the amount of moisture, organic matter and temperature available to the seed, so the operator can adjust to a correct depth and assures you have a consistent crop stand.
Precision Planting vSet®
This meter singulates seeds accurately without any adjustments, resulting in precise and consistent seed placement throughout the field.
- Simple to use; easy to maintain
- Requires no adjustments
- Accurate and consistent regardless of seed size or shape; delivers 99% accuracy without adjustment in corn and beans
- Approved for: beans, corn, cotton, peanuts, sugarbeets and sunflowers
Precision Planting vDrive®
Replaces the mechanical drive system, which simplifies your planter. The vDrive motor mounts to each vSet meter and makes the row a single row planter where each row is controlled individually.
- Boundary control eliminates over-planting
- Allows for accurate seed population
- Ensures precise per-row seed metering
- Curve-compensated spacing delivers optimal seed singulation
- Each individual row can change rate independently, giving you correct population during variable rate seeding

- Adjust row cleaners from the comfort of the cab, saving time and increasing productivity
- Reduces moisture wicking residue from the furrow
- In-cab adjustments prevent the soil from being plowed out of the way
Precision Planting FurrowForce®
A two-stage closing system that adapts to your planting conditions to provide a balanced soil-water-air environment.
- Notched wheels work close to the seed furrow from the bottom up, eliminating air pockets
- Stitch wheels carry weight on the furrow to firmly smooth the soil over the seed, retaining moisture
- Can automatically adjust row-by-row force applied to the unit
Precision Planting DeltaForce®
Provides consistent downforce to place seeds at their optimal depth in changing field conditions.
- Automatically adjusts downforce during changing field conditions for desired seed depth
- Consistent seed depth row-to-row and field-to-field
- Real-time adjustment of weight on gauge wheels
Variable Rate Fertilizer & Spray Rate Technology
Similar to variable rate seeding, this aspect of precision farming requires you have a higher-end, precision farming-ready display to take advantage of its benefits. If your goal is precise fertilizer placement, Precision Planting offers a variety of solutions. If crop input application is a priority, consider the Raven product options as well.
