My name is Alan Todd. I'm a service technician from Sunsouth in Donaldsonville, Georgia. I'm here to tell you about our planter specials. We're running a special on our planter stand right now to run your seed meters for $19.99 a row. You know, with any planting operation, accuracy is key. And with small minor adjustments in here, you could go from 96, 97% singulation up to right at 100% with just a few minor things. While you're here, we can advise you on warm parts, anything you might need to change. Brushes, gaskets or seals. Even if you've got some plates that's got some bad places in them, we'll advise you what we would think you need to do. Or you can let us do it. It's up to you. If you're running old style plates now, we'll tell you, we'll advise you on running flat plates. You know, we've got a new system running flat plates. It's got a doubles eliminator and a knockout wheel. All you have to do is change your plate, change your, put a knockout wheel in place of your wiper and you might run from in your mid-90s. We can get you right at 100% with almost any crop you run through there. When you bring them to us, just bring us your hoppers. You don't have to bring us a lid. And if you would bring us a sample of your seed so we can know that we set these meters. We've got the meter set to your seat and just bring us the COVID and just bring them all to us. We've got the whole unit set up. Whether you've got old style hoppers, new.
Style hoppers, it doesn't matter. We can run any of them and you can be here with us, or we can give you a printout of all your information right here. It'll show you your singulation, it'll show.
You your seed spacing.
Just give us your target population and we'll tell you exactly what your population is going to be running if you run it like it is. Show you how many skips you got, we can show you how many doubles you've got. We can tell you just about anything you want to know about your seed meter.
