Planters have been used in the agricultural industry for hundreds of years. Over that time, the technology and innovation behind planters has been greatly enhanced. The first planters that were able to be pulled by tractors were able to plant about 40 acres a day, but the largest planters today are able to plant 48 rows with each single pass. No matter the size or technology, however, new and used planters for sale have the same general function in that they plant seeds and allow farmers to better control the spacing and placement of the seeds, the row widths, and the depth, as well as allowing them to apply pesticides as needed. They can be used for various crops including corn, soybeans, peanuts, cotton, and a number of vegetables and other crops.
Not only has the size and production of planters improved over generations, but manufacturers have also started to include many technological features leading to greater efficiency as well. They have implemented features such as GPS guidance systems, in-cab monitoring devices, and other electronic monitoring options so that farmers are better able to track the number of seeds planted and the spacing of those seeds. There are more rugged models that can better handle more difficult soil conditions, models with better hydraulic controls which can automatically adjust the up and down pressure to better control seed depth, and even models that allow users to monitor seed depths from their mobile device and offer faster, more accurate planting. At Equipment Anywhere, buyers are able to find various types of planters for sale from some of the leading manufacturers such as John Deere, Case IH, Kinze, Great Plains, White, International, and Monosem, among others.
