Morris Industries shows off new quantum air drill

Morris Industries launched its new quantum air drill at Canada's Farm Progress Show.

 

It's their next generation of contour drill.

 

President and CEO Ben Voss says a new trulaser welding technique means welds are 154 per cent stronger.

 

"Means you can run it faster, you can run it deeper, you can also do more things with it that our current drill would not stand up to those requirements, most of our competitors wouldn't either," he said. "This allows farmers to try brand new things that they would have never tried like different row spacing options, different seeding speeds different seeding depths and that's really what they're after is that they want to know it's consistent, reliable it'll work and it won't break down on them."

 

Video: Planting Corn with Classic Allis-Chalmers Tractors | Full Field Action

Step into the field for a full day of spring fieldwork as this farm plants corn using classic Allis-Chalmers power near Arcanum, Ohio. In this video, the farm is working ground with an Allis-Chalmers 8050 pulling a Salford field cultivator and Brillion Culti-Packer to prepare the seedbed. Right behind, an Allis-Chalmers 7020 handles planting duties with a 12-row White planter, putting this year’s corn crop in the ground. You’ll see a mix of aerial drone footage and ground-level views capturing all the action, along with a voiceover that dives into the history and legacy of these two Allis-Chalmers tractors. It’s a great look at how reliable, older equipment is still getting the job done during spring planting season. If you enjoy classic farm equipment, corn planting, and real-world field action, this one is for you.
