Ag Leader Technology introduces the SureStop electric row clutch for row-crop planters. SureStop clutches are designed for chain drive seed meters and install on the inside of the row unit between the seed meter and the drill shaft sprocket. Electric clutches require a 12-volt power supply but not an air compressor tank. SureStop clutches are a component of Ag Leader’s SeedCommand system, which uses GPS to turn planter sections on and off based on field maps and planted areas. The system is compatible with the Edge or Vision displays. The SeedCommand system controls up to 36 sections. The customized installation kit includes the clutch, wiring harness and two precut chains. List price: $308 per row. Contact: Ag Leader Technology, P.O.
