The White Planters from Massey Ferguson 8500 CFS Series with a Central Fill System redefines features and benefits for planter versatility, simplicity and efficiency.

The new planters combine the proven precision planting technology and rugged engineering of the 8500 Flex Frame planters with concepts used in the SC144 Seed Cart to produce an onboard bulk seed hopper and distribution system. The new system allows for more time planting, rather than refilling individual hoppers.

Models

30-inch spacing)

Each row unit is equipped with the same “Simply Advanced” White Metering Unit that all our planters utilize. Positive air metering gently holds each seed in the seed cell and drops the seed by gravity precisely at the right moment to maximize seed placement accuracy.

Unique to the 8500CFS planter row unit is the meter cover design. The design maintains a small amount of seed in the meter reservoir and automatically replenishes the seed by regulating the air/seed flow to the meter.
