• Leading edge offset openers slice through residue and hard soil.
• Furrow forming point forms the clean V-shaped seed trench
• Seed protection shoe acts as a retaining wall, preventing loose soil from falling into the trench before seed.

• Reduced inner diameter gauge wheel Tires allow displaced soil to move up and out to the sides of the trench for less sidewall compaction.
• Better gauge wheel weight distribution carries the row unit/planter weight away from the edge of the seed trench wall to avoid compression at the base of the trench for more robust roots and plants.
• Inverted furrow closing disks replace soil from both sides so moist soil covers the seed, improving seed-to-soil contact and proper soil pressure.

We spent hundreds of hours in field testing, with all types of seed combinations, to provide you with the best in seed delivery. The 1200 Series Early Riser Planter reliably delivers seed of any size, type or any coating with simple settings that do not require frequent adjustments, while our best-in-class mini-hopper provides unmatched seed flow control during normal field operations.

Other features include an improved offset ladder, a platform for easy tank access and scale options for exact measurement of tank fill levels. Automatic tank shut offs from the inductors and multiple small inductor doors drain seed without loss.

Case IH precision technology helps you reduce overlaps and skips, manage inputs by prescription, as well as monitor planter performance, all from one display. Solutions such as Accu-Row, Accu-Stat and AccuGuide™ allow you to optimize seed placement, eliminate overlap and reduce gaps and overlaps with up to sub-inch accuracy.
