Firmers

Designed with high-tech memory polymer, the Flo-Rite® Seed Firmer provides reliable down pressure to assure consistent seed placement and proper seeding depth. The optimal down pressure maximizes the proper seed to soil contact needed to improve successful germination.

Flo-Rite’s patented enclosed stainless steel liquid tube eliminates the issues of traditional seed firmers where the liquid tubes are bracketed on the outside and exposed to crop debris and soil saving you on costly repairs.

All Flo-Rite® Seed Firmer kits include the standard hood that eliminates is issue of plugging and will not drip on itself also eliminating the issue of mud build up. Also, included with each kit is the splitter or side shooter which will put your liquid fertilizer in the furrow with 75% off the seed. Easily installed, the splitter can be pressed in by hand and with 2 clicks it’s in for good. For those using a thrive system or if you’re wanting the liquid to go down 8° more than the standard, we have the Foam Tip available as an added modification.

The exclusive wear plate will also save you money with being able to replace only the wear plate a not the whole seed firmer unit. You’ll want to replace your Wear Inserts when the length of the Insert is 1/8 of an inch away from the Firmer Stop.

Flo-Rite® seed firmers are compatible with the majority of planters including all Kinze prior to 2000, 3000 and 4900 units; White; New Idea; and Deere 7000, 7200 series planters with precision brackets XP units.

Benefits

Lower Replacement Costs

Although Flo-Rite® Seed Firmers initially cost about the same as other leading brands, maintenance costs of the Flo-Rite® model are dramatically less. Flo-Rite’s exclusive replaceable wear plate saves farmers money over time. With traditional Seed Firmers, when the firmer contact point wears out, the entire Seed Firmer unit needs to be replaced. But with Flo-Rite®, you simply replace the wear plate and the firmer works just like new.

Optimum Seed Placement

Flo-Rite® Seed Firmers use the latest in memory polymers to provide reliable down pressure to assure the best seed placement and proper seeding depth. The optimal down pressure maximizes the proper seed-to-soil contact needed to improve germination success.

Protected Liquid Tube

Another problem with traditional Seed Firmers is that the liquid tubes are bracketed on the outside of the Seed Firmer body. This leaves the liquid tube exposed to crop debris and soil that can rip the tube from the Firmer body. With Flo-Rite’s patent pending enclosed stainless steel liquid tube, this problem is eliminated so you can keep on planting!
