Case IH Updates Precision Air 5 Series Air Carts and Flex Hoe 900 Air Drills with Versatile New Features

Case IH recently introduced new productivity-boosting features to its Precision Air™ 5 Series air carts and Flex Hoe 900 air drills. Precision Air 5 Series carts help producers make the most of short seeding windows, while Flex Hoe air drills help them efficiently seed small grain in any ground conditions. New configurations, options and other features enhance productivity and versatility.

Producers can also boost their flexibility with liquid-fertilizer configurations for Precision Air 5 Series air carts. The liquid-ready tank includes a product lid and overflow line, 3-foot bottom suction port, tank rinse nozzle and site gauge.

The roller lineup has also been expanded to allow growers to plant almost any seed at any rate. The new sunflower roller applies oil-type sunflower seed at the consistency growers need. In addition, the fill system on the auxiliary tank has been redesigned with a gravity system, creating a faster, more intuitive and more uniform filling.

“These updates help producers get the most of every plant’s potential through highly accurate fertilizer and seed placement,” said Trent Nowosad, Case IH Seeding Marketing Manager. “Additional configurations and options add more versatility for a variety of crops and fertilizers.”

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
