The 5500, available in 60- and 70-foot (18.3- and 21.3-m) widths, offers innovative design with superb agronomic features.

Its exceptional land following flexibility provides precise seed placement. Each wing is attached to a collective rockshaft with simple, parallel-circuit hydraulics, allowing each wing/press wheel combination to follow the ground. This minimizes stress in the framework and ensures precision seed placement.

Transport is safer, faster and less stressful, and for a smoother ride, all tires work in transport. Choose from a single-bar heavy harrow or disc leveler to customize soil closing options.
  Precise Seed Placement
Depth accuracy and land following are enhanced with a patented two-piece wing. It allows the front two ranks to follow the contour of the terrain at a depth set by the nearby caster assemblies, and the rear two ranks to follow the ground on which the press wheels run.

Single-point depth setting provides simple control of the depth across the entire machine for exact, repeatable seed depth.
   Spacing Configurations
"Split-row" shank pattern configurations in spacings of 7.5, 10 and 12 inches (10, 25.4 and 30.5 cm) give you a smooth field finish.

Choose from conventional C-shanks or vertical edge-on shanks using the same proven trip design. 350-pound (159-kg) trips are standard, and 550-pound (249-kg) trips are available for tough conditions and double-shoot operations.

Multiple packing choices include gang-style press wheels in semi-pneumatic, steel or walking beam pneumatic. A patented variable packing pressure system lets you adjust packing pressure from field to field.

Stealth™ openers for single-shoot, double-shoot side band and paired row let you place seed and fertilizer where you choose.
  Press Wheels and Shanks

The Flexi-Coil 5500 air drill can be equipped to give you the on-row packing performance you need. By matching the press wheel to your opener style, your seed has the best chance for fast, even germination.

Steel
Steel press wheels are used in sandy and rocky conditions. A V-profile concentrates packing pressure onto a smaller area for higher pressure over the seed, and the shape of the furrow also provides protection from wind and water erosion.

  • 4 ½-inch steel press wheels spread the packing pressure over a wider area and are ideal when spreading seed or for wide double-shoot applications. The soil profile is the flattest of the steel wheels. Due to its width, this press wheel is not available in row spacing configurations under nine inches.
  • 3 ½-inch steel press wheels work well with openers that spread seed up to 3 ½ inches, or with narrow double-shoot openers. The soil profile is a wide V-shape. This press wheel is available in all row spacing configurations.

Rubber
In heavy, sticky soil conditions, rubber press wheels flex to shed the soil. The flatter profile rides over a wider area for less packing pressure—just right for soils where too much packing can be a problem.

  • 5 ½-inch rubber press wheels offer on-row packing in wide seed spread applications. Due to its width, this press wheel is not available in spacing configurations less than nine inches.
  • 4-inch rubber press wheels are effective for many applications where seed is spread up to four inches. Due to its width, this press wheel is not available in spacing configurations less than nine inches.
  • 3-inch rubber press wheels can be used with knife openers or when spreading seed up to three inches. It also works for narrow double-shoot applications. This press wheel is available in all row spacing configurations.
  • 5 ½- and 6 ½-inch pneumatic walking beam-style rubber tires are also available.
  • Choose trip assemblies to match your soil conditions. You can equip the 5500 air drill with 350-pound trips for most conditions, or 550-pound trips for double-shoot applications and tough conditions.
