Planting is the most important pass you’ll make all season — and small mechanical issues can quietly rob yield potential without you ever realizing it.

This Planter Performance Inspection Guide walks you step-by-step through the exact process used to evaluate planter condition, identify wear, and correct performance problems before planting begins.

Inside this guide you’ll learn how to:

✅ Inspect critical wear components that affect emergence and spacing
✅ Identify hidden issues that monitors won’t show you
✅ Evaluate row unit performance with confidence
✅ Prevent costly mistakes that reduce stand uniformity
✅ Improve planting consistency across every acre
✅ Know what actually matters — and what doesn’t

This isn’t theory.
It’s a practical, field-tested inspection system built from real observations, trials, and years of planter performance experience.

Whether you run precision technology or a standard setup, this guide will help you get more from the equipment you already own.

Better emergence starts before the planter ever leaves the shop.
