AirForce
Planter-wide or two-section automated downforce control
Be in Control of Downforce on Your Planter
Choose from planter-wide or section control.
Automated Control System
AirForce measures and adjusts downforce through the planter’s airbags. It works on planters with down and lift bags, down-only bags, and lift-only bags. It operates as either planter-wide or a two-section control mode.
Quick Adjustment with the 20|20
No more getting out of the cab to manually adjust every single row. Set your planter-wide or section-wide downforce amount from the cab and let the planter do the rest.
Get the Proper Downforce
Compaction created by excess downforce carried on the planter's depth gauge wheels will compact soil and remove pore space in the soil. Proper downforce maintains consistent planting depth and good sidewall integrity, which overall drives more even plant emergence.
Pick Your Path
AirForce is Compatible with Both 20|20 Systems
Though different features, either can be used.

We've Done Our Homework
So you don't have to.
Research
Multi-Year Soybean Downforce Study
Without addressing correct downforce in soybeans, the depth of planting will be inconsistent and can lead to significant yield loss.
Research
Multi-Year Corn Downforce Study
In this multi-year study, we are exploring the specific potential for yield loss when we use improper downforce settings during planting.

Upgrade to Row-by-Row Control
Increase Accuracy With DeltaForce
DeltaForce takes the principles of AirForce and applies them to each row of the planter individually. Using a hydraulic cylinder and load cell on each row to manage the downforce, DeltaForce adds control to each individual row, rapidly adapting to changes across the field, foot-by-foot.
