Introducing Furrow Command for Precision Disk Series Air Drills
Furrow Command™ for Precision Disk Air Drills increase the accuracy and versatility you need to get the most out of every seed in a variety of crops and conditions. Furrow Command helps operators consistently maintain seed depth, regardless of terrain to boost productivity and yield potential — and make the most of every moment in the field.
Furrow Command
Downforce Automation with Case IH Precision Technology
Furrow Command, available for Precision Disk 550T, 550, and 500DS, helps you make informed decisions on setting downforce via gauge wheel sensors that provide in-cab feedback. You can also adjust downforce automatically while traveling through the field, allowing the drill to effortlessly deal with changing field terrain and soil conditions and also maintain positive contact with the ground. This ensures the row unit is always achieving its set depth to optimize your fields.
With Furrow Command, you can:
- Simplify your operation – There’s no need to change settings for different conditions to achieve seed depth consistency.
- Improve depth control - Adjust the hydraulic pressure for each frame section independently.
- Reduce component wear – Feedback from the system allows you to minimize the force required to maintain gauge wheel contact with the ground.
Row Unit
Gain Efficiencies and Improve Yield Potential
Frame Design
Convenience and Durability in a Rugged Frame Design
Main Frame Design
Our main frame utilizes wall tubes to support the row unit carrying the subframe The center main frame’s tubes are oriented in a "V" shape to distribute the weight of the main frame, adding additional support and stability during transport. The front caster wheels travel in a different path than the rear caster wheels, providing exceptional weight distribution and reduced ground pressure for even emergence while allowing for a smaller transport envelope. Nearly every part of the machine is powder coated to provide a superior paint coating that is resistant to impacts and paint-fading UV rays and helps prevent corrosion.
Wing Frame Design
A three-section frame drill with single-fold wings provides narrow transport. When in field position, the wings can flex 15 degrees up and 10 degrees down for superior ground following. A single-fold cylinder is used to fold the wings, providing fewer service points and resulting in more uptime and reliability. Each wing pivot utilizes hardened Grade 8 wing pins with replaceable hardened bushings for long wear life.
Transport
Lowest Transport Height in the Industry
The vertical fold design on Case IH Precision Disk air drills allow for the lowest transport height in the industry as well as narrow transport widths. Other easy-transport features include:
- Wing lock for safe transport on the 25- and 30-foot models
- Single remote lever inside the tractor folds or unfolds the Precision Disk air drill
- Wide profile transport wheels provide the stability to move the disk drill confidently, even at higher roading speeds
High-Efficiency Seeding
Boost ROI with Earlier Soybean Emergence
Studies show that getting in the field earlier for planting is critical to maximizing soybean yield potential1 — and late-emerging soybeans can be costly, with a potential loss of up to $140/acre.2 That’s why Precision Disk 500 series air drills are agronomically designed with a parallel link row unit to promote earlier, more rapid emergence than competitive air drills.
Precision Disk 500 series air drills let you plant soybeans earlier and into tough no-till seedbeds — so you can seed with accuracy, no matter the conditions, and stay within budget. The new single-rank Precision Disk 500T air drill offers a cost-effective solution for earlier soybean seeding.

Hitches
Find Your Match For Easy Maneuvering
Front Hitch Floating style front pull hitch allows the disk drill to float up and down, independently from the tractor and hitch. This improves ground following and seed depth control because the hitch will not raise or lower the front of the tool when the tractor rides over a hill or obstacle.
Rear Hitch* Hook up any tow-behind air cart with ease, ensuring a tight implement turning radius and follow the tracks created by the tractor during transport. Provide enough room to allow the drill frame to be folded into the transport position without disconnecting the air system.
*Precision Disk 550 model only
Maintenance & Uptime
Reduced Maintenance and Easy Serviceability
Case IH Precision Technology
Achieve Seeding Efficiencies with Data-Driven Decision-Making
Reduce unsightly skips from blocked seed rows and monitor seed population to ensure hitting target rates, while putting seed, fertilizer and other inputs precisely where you want them using Case IH section and rate control. Less overlaps combined with variable-rate application and precise product placement help you save on inputs, improve agronomic performance and lower overall costs.
