2021 Concord Precision Shank Drill PSD51

The Concord® Precision Shank Drill isn’t your typical hoe drill. That’s because its award-winning design can operate at speeds of 8 miles per hour (12.9 kph) or more without bunching up residue or throwing soil on top of neighboring rows. Add in a low maintenance design and working widths up to 61.5 feet (18.7 m), and that equals more acres per day than any competitive unit.

Each opener is spaced 15" apart, allowing maximum flexibility in seedbed utilization. Choose the popular dual-placement opener to create 6.5"/8.5" paired rows, resulting in an average row spacing of 7.5" across the unit, with each row 2" wide for improved plant spacing.

The Precision Shank Drill is able to operate at high speeds, thanks to the unique design of the closing discs. They capture all of the soil that is displaced by the seed opener, preventing soil from being thrown over neighboring rows and ensuring uniform seed covering from row to row at any speed. By running at 8 miles per hour or more, the Precision Shank Drill is capable of covering more acres per day than wider hoe drills that are limited to 5 miles per hour or less.

Features may include:

• Making quick, precise depth adjustments on the Precision Shank Drill is easy. Simply add or remove stop collars on the hydraulic cylinders of the frame wheels to decrease or increase seeding depth in quarter-inch increments. This convenient feature saves time by eliminating the need to adjust each opener independently. It also helps ensure operators dial in the ideal seeding depth, rather than settling for a depth that is "good enough."

• Seeding depth is gauged by the wide packer tires, which offer excellent ground following and consistent depth. Plus, each row unit is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder that provides constant down pressure throughout the entire range of cylinder travel. Pressure on the cylinders is controlled by the operator on the go.

• By adjusting the closing discs, packer wheel angle and hydraulic down pressure, the Precision Shank Drill gives you full control over the field finish, whether you desire a flat surface or furrows.

• The Precision Shank Drill is built with robust components to withstand the stress of higher speeds and demanding seeding conditions. Additionally, components are designed for minimal maintenance, with the packer wheel and coulter bearing only requiring seasonal greasing.
