Description

When you’re planting, getting good seed-to-soil contact can make or break your stand. This firming point is heat treated to handle the constant pressure of pressing down soil around freshly planted seeds. It’s the part that firms up the furrow bottom right behind the disc opener, giving your seeds the consistent contact they need for even germination.

Precisely shaped point that firms the seed furrow without over-compacting

Built for Real Farm Work

Fits Case IH 800, 900, 950, 955, 1200 series; New Holland SP280, SP380, SP480, SP580; 5400, 5500 Soybean Special planters. These are the workhorses you see planting everything from corn and soybeans to specialty crops across thousands of acres. Whether you’re running no-till into heavy residue or conventional tillage, this firming point helps create the consistent seedbed conditions that lead to uniform emergence.

Made to Last

Farm ground is hard on planter parts, especially the components that ride in the furrow. This firming point is built tough with heat treatment that resists wear from abrasive soils and stones. The hardened surface keeps its shape and effectiveness even after thousands of acres, so you get consistent firming pressure throughout the planting season.

Good to Know

Installation is straightforward with basic hand tools – just remove the old worn point and bolt on the new one. Check your other firming points while you’re at it, since they tend to wear at similar rates. A quick tip: if you notice uneven emergence across your field, worn firming points could be the culprit, creating inconsistent seed depth and soil contact.
