The Case IH Early Riser® Row Unit optimizes seedbed conditions to allow earlier, more uniform emergence and higher yield potential. And it performs in a variety of conditions to match your farming practices, whether you use no-till, mulch-till or conventional tillage.

The six steps to better seedbed conditions:

1. Narrow 10.5-degree offset double disk openers slice through residue and hard soils to create a narrow seed furrow with minimal sidewall compaction.
2. Walking beam gauge wheels maintain uniform seeding depth and placement. A soil retention groove captures moist soil along the top of the seed trench where it will later be placed on top of the seed by the closing system.
3. The furrow firming point defines the sides and bottom of the seed furrow , preventing loose soil from creating a false bottom for more accurate seed depth.
4. A V-shaped seed tube centers the seed into the perfect position at the bottom of the furrow. The tube is made of a special polymer compound that reduces seed ricochet.
5. Inverted closing discs fill the furrow from both sides , placing the loose, moist soil close to the seed.
6. A wide press wheel gently firms soil over the furrow for optimal seed-to-soil contact and leaving a crust-breaking chevron pattern that speeds emergence.

You can make the most of your planting window and stretch your planting productivity with the Case IH Early Riser ® 1250. The Early Riser 1250 is a simple and efficient 24-row planter with superb agronomics and narrow transporting ease. It plants at 60 feet wide with a front fold transport width of just 11 feet, 11 inches.

You get the efficiency of two planters in one with the Case IH 1200 Series ASM Split-row Planters. These planters can be converted from corn to soybeans and back with only a few adjustments. They're perfect for large acreage corn and soybean farmers who are looking to boost productivity. The 12/23 and 16/31 configurations  let you plant corn in 12 or 16 30-in. (762-mm) rows and soybeans in 23 or 31 15-in. (381-mm) rows.

For maximum maneuverability in smaller fields, choose the Case IH six- or eight-row Rigid Trailing 1200 Series ASM Planter. Each model combines a compact configuration with narrow, 30-in. (762-mm) row spacing that is perfectly suited for acreage divided into tight or terraced fields. The manageable size pairs nicely with a smaller, more affordable 75 to 85 PTO hp (56 to 63 kW) tractor, advantageous when completing frequent turns at the ends of rows.
