Planter Maintenance, Preseason Planning & Getting Ready for the Year Ahead
In this episode, Travis Kelley, Bryan Tucker, and the AgTechnologies team sit down in the shop to talk through one of the most important — and often overlooked — parts of a successful season: planter maintenance and preseason planning.
With planting windows tightening and margins under pressure, the team explains why getting ahead of maintenance can save time, reduce downtime, and protect your investment. From sweet corn and peanuts to cotton and corn, this episode walks through what to prioritize, when to schedule service, and where small fixes can prevent costly in-season failures.
Topics include:
Why scheduling planter maintenance early matters more than ever
Common seed meter wear issues and how to catch them before the field
Crop kits, seed-per-pound changes, and vacuum seal problems
Best practices for liquid system winterization (V-Apply, pumps, lines)
How preseason inspections reduce downtime during tight planting windows
Wear parts that deliver big ROI: DeltaForce, FurrowForce, and DuraWear components
Using data tools like Panorama and PassMaster to improve planting performance
The team also shares practical advice from real-world field experiences — showing how a $60 fix in the shop can prevent a $500 mistake in the field. If you want to plant with confidence this season, this episode is a must-listen.
