The Morris Contour Drill is a minimum-till precision placement seed drill. The Contour Drill gets your crops off to the best start possible, allows more efficient use of your land, requires less horsepower and delivers overall fuel savings. It utilizes independent openers that features parallel linkage for ultra precise seed and fertilizer placement. This true parallelogram linkage maintains a constant opener angle relative to the soil and constant opener depth in relation to the packer wheel throughout its range of travel. Each opener can move independently of the frame and of each other to closely follow the contours of the land. The Contour Drill delivers precision seed placement for quick, uniform germination and emergence. The low draft requirement and single pass seeding and fertilizing results in significant time and fuel savings.
