It is estimated that the planter should sow 90 to 100 acres (0.40 km 2) per hour at 5 to 5.5 miles per hour ground speed. [1] [2] This means that in a 12-hour day it will plant almost two sections of land. [3] John Deere claims that the planter is 30% more productive than their 36 row DB90 planter. [1]

A Happy Seeder is a no-till planter, towed behind a tractor, that sows (plants) seeds in rows directly without any prior seedbed preparation. It is operated with the PTO of the tractor and is connected to it with three-point linkage. It consists of a straw managing chopper and a zero till drill that makes it possible to sow new crop in the ...
Use of a seed drill can improve the ratio of crop yield (seeds harvested per seed planted) by as much as eight times. The use of seed drill saves time and labor. Some machines for metering out seeds for planting are called planters. The concepts evolved from ancient Chinese practice and later evolved into mechanisms that pick up seeds from a ...
The Ohio Valley saw increases in April rainfall of about a quarter-inch per decade between 1980 and 2023, the most of any area in the nation aside from the Southeast, according to NOAA.
No-till farming (also known as zero tillage or direct drilling) is an agricultural technique for growing crops or pasture without disturbing the soil through tillage.No-till farming decreases the amount of soil erosion tillage causes in certain soils, especially in sandy and dry soils on sloping terrain.
Zone tillage is a form of modified deep tillage in which only narrow strips are tilled, leaving soil in between the rows untilled. This type of tillage agitates the soil to help reduce soil compaction problems and to improve internal soil drainage. [12] It is designed to only disrupt the soil in a narrow strip directly below the crop row.
In 1974, the Dixon company coined the term zero-turn radius on their entrance into the mower market. [1] In 2009, the Hustler Zeon became the first fully electric zero-turn mower, with four 12-volt lead acid batteries. As of 2023 most fully electric zero turn mowers use lithium ion batteries ranging from 40 to 80 volts. [2] [3]
