Yield-Pro® YPE

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The YPE-625A and YPE-825A planters are designed with Proven Yield-Pro® technology to enhance seed placement accuracy. Developed in the 1990s, the Twin-Row maize seeding technique increases yield by optimizing light interception, root exploration, and ground cover.

Twin-Row Technology
This technique allows for staggered planting, providing more space for root growth, leading to better nutrient and moisture uptake. Benefits include improved root development, higher planting populations, efficient sunlight and moisture use, increased stalk diameter, and enhanced nutritional quality in forage.

Yield Potential
At V7, Twin-Row maize utilizes 90% of available sunlight compared to 30% in traditional spacing. This configuration can increase yields by 500-600 kg/ha. The YPE planters can sow in various configurations, including 8, 12, and 16 rows with different spacing options.

Key Features
The Yield-Pro® Series 25 Opener ensures accurate seed depth control with durable linkage arms and individual pressure settings. The ClearShot® Seed Tube provides a smooth path for seeds, maintaining accuracy at high speeds. The planters also feature a large fertiliser hopper and options for Turbo Disc and Row Cleaner.

Fertiliser System
The fertiliser system includes a corrosion-resistant hopper, agitator, quick-release metering, and cushioned double disc unit for precise placement. The Air-Pro® Seed Meter ensures over 99% accuracy at speeds of 8-10 km/h.

Specifications
The YPE-625A and YPE-825A models are 3-section folding planters with a transport width of 3 meters. They require 100-200hp and have a working width of up to 6 meters. Seed capacity is 56 litres per row, and fertiliser capacity is 1800 litres.

Conclusion
The Great Plains Yield-Pro® Planters offer advanced technology for precise planting, resulting in uniform emergence and higher yields. They are suitable for various crops and conditions, providing farmers with reliable and efficient planting solutions.
