Take control of your profitability with the ACCU-RATE system from Rawson! This simple, yet remarkably effective system allows you to vary the rate of seed and all types of fertilizer - all from the comfort of your tractor cab!

ACCU-RATE Variable Rate Controllers
 

Take the guesswork out of rate control, and put complete accuracy into hands you can trust...your own. With the ACCU-RATE Variable Rate Controller, precision accuracy is easily achieved.

Growers and custom applicators around the country are striving to gain precision and boost yields, and do both with a minimal outlay. By using the simply designed yet remarkably effective ACCU-RATE system, you can vary the rate of seed and all types of fertilizer, all from the comfort and convenience of your tractor cab. And without the higher cost and complexity of competitive models.

The processor can be programmed to accurately control two different seed populations, or to simultaneously change seed at one rate and fertilizer at a different rate when using two GIS prescriptions. The processor is also PC programmable, allowing even greater ease and versatility. And you don't have to worry about resetting; the processor's memory saves your programmed information, even when the tractor is turned off or when the processor is disconnected from the tractor battery.

Features of the ACCU-RATE Variable Rate Controller:

  • Versatile, mounts to any planter, drill, air seeder, granular and air spreaders and liquid applicators with constant volume pumps, such as the John Blue pumps.
  • On/off jump start for instant start. Eliminate start up skips.
  • Increase YIELD, STABILITY, and PROFIT.
  • Easy to program. Calibrate your unit (seed, fertilizer, pesticides) before going to field. Runs in a stationary position.
  • Eliminate ground drive chains, clutches and wheel slippage.
  • Changes rates within milliseconds of changing the 32 position rate knob or getting a signal from GPS.
  • Great for irrigated land.
  • Compatible with other open architect companies for GPS and GIS.
  • PC programmable. You can update your own processor.
  • Three season warranty.
Hydraulic Drive
 

Our hydraulic motor drives have driven the industry due to their durability and performance.
The drive comes in two displacements and mounts on to any planter, drill, air spreader, and liquid applicators with constant volume pumps. The drive requires between 2-6 GPM of hydraulic oil and includes a 1.93 & 3.0 cubic inch hydraulic motor. Each unit comes with a check valve (standard 1500 PSI relief, 2-5 horsepower) to protect the system if the hydraulics are reversed.

This unit has a maximum of 500 RPM, and its optimum running should be between 100-300 RPM.

The hydraulic drive is available with an external drain line to be used in series with hydraulic blowers on vacuum and pressure planters (blowers must pump a minimum of 2 GPM and a maximum of 6 GPM).
 

The hydraulic motor drive functions at specific programmable rates that you control with the in-cab programmable processor.
