The 30-foot Precision Disk 550T features a 110-bushel tank, while the 40-foot machine is equipped with a 140-bushel tank.
Row Spacing
Choose from 7.5-, 10- or 15-inch spacing configurations. When equipped with 7.5- or 10-inch spacing, the front or rear ranks can be hydraulically lifted and locked to seed with 15- or 20-inch spacing, respectively.
The 550T is also available in a single-rank, 15-inch spacing configuration – ideal for soybean seeding.
