 The Heart Of The Planter.
How it Works
A
1. Low-pressure positive air enters the seed meter.
2. Seeds are held in each seed cell by the gentle air pressure.
3. The seed meter’s one moving part, the seed disc, rotates counterclockwise with a
seed retained in each cell. Abrasive steel fingers which can cause damage to fragile
seed are not used.
4. As the cell reaches the tickler brush, excess seed is removed from the cell if more
than one seed is present.
5. When the seed advances around the meter, the air cutoff brush gently shuts off the air
and holds the seed in place until reaching the bottom of the seed disc rotation.
6. The exclusive EDGE DROP design of the seed disc gently releases the seed,
allowing it to free-fall naturally into the seed tube at regular intervals as accurately H
and consistently as gravity itself.
7. Seed is released in a slight rearward motion permitting the seed to be oriented
rearward and fall down the curved seed tube into the seed trench. C

Seed Meter Design

1. One Meter, Many Crops

- White Planters plant nearly any row crop: corn, soybeans, nato beans, sunflowers, B
I
edible beans, snap beans, cotton, milo, sugar beets, sorghum, or peanuts.
2. Positive Air Design Means No Seals to Maintain
- The exclusive design of the positive air metering system completely eliminates
the need to annually maintain seals.
3. Zero Maintenance Guarantee
- Perform routine seed meter care and cleaning of the seed meter and if replacement
parts are required in the metering system during the first three years of operation,
White Planters will supply the parts at no charge. That’s confidence!

may have been common practice to run a 30" planter for corn
and a narrow row drill for narrow row soybeans; today, that's
simply not the case. Today's corn and soybean operators require
a two-in-one seeding system. The 8300 Series rear fold frame

The new 8500 Series Central Fill System (CFS)

incorporates proven concepts used in the SC144 Seed Cart
and 8500 flex frame planters to provide an onboard bulk
seed hopper and seed distribution system. The 8500 CFS
system allows for more time planting, rather than refilling
individual hoppers. The 8500 CFS is designed for planting
corn, soybeans, milo, popcorn, and wheat.

The 8500 Series offers a full line of frame and row

spacing options that let you tackle a wide range of planting
applications. Available row widths of 15" (38 cm), 20" (51
cm), 22" (56 cm), and 30" (76 cm) on main frames that
range from 30' up to 60' (9.1-18.2 m), the 8500 Series is
ideally suited to planting a variety of crops that include corn,
soybeans, and sugar beets. When you’re ready to switch

you get from field to field quickly and easily. Furthermore, you can
count on a generous 33 (83.8 cm) inches of ground clearance to
get through rolling terrain. This underframe clearance also gives
you more room for routine maintenance.

Undercarriage Provides Even More Flexibility

The undercarriage itself is unique to the industry. Two
trunnion-mounted hydraulic cylinders lift the planter. In the planting
mode, the planter lifts the row units 8-10" (20.3 – 25.4 cm) above
the ground to conveniently turn after each pass across the field.
In the transport mode, the planter lifts to its full height for folding

Central Fill Seed Distribution

The 8831 CFS Planter features the same onboard bulk seed distribution system you’ll find
on the 8500 Series Central Fill System. The system includes two 45-bushel (1.6 m3 ) translucent
polyethylene hoppers for a total capacity of 90 bushels (3.2 m3). Each poly hopper sits on a mixing
chamber where air and seed are mixed and discharged via a high-capacity blower to individual row
units. This proven system saves you from having to fill each individual hopper, so you can spend
your valuable time planting instead of refilling.

The 8831 CFS is equipped with
two 45-bushel (1.6 m3) translucent
polyethylene hoppers. Convenient steps
and platform are located at the rear of
the planter for access to fill the hopper
with seed.
The 8831 CFS is ideal for planting corn, soybeans, milo, popcorn, and wheat. The split rows
can be quickly lifted and locked in place to go from 15" (38 cm) narrow rows to standard 30"
(76 cm) rows. Hydraulic-drive variable-rate seed metering offers a full range of seeding rates.
Optional Console II technology varies the seeding rate through your predetermined seeding plan
– communicating DGPS position and instructing the planter controller automatically as you move
across the field from one grid to another.

Flexing Its Wings

The 8831 CFS is classified as a forward fold, but offers the additional benefits of a three-
section flex frame. That means when you are planting, the outer wings will flex as they encounter

Row Unit Attachments
Row-Unit-Mounted Tillage Coulter
The row-unit-mounted coulter mounts directly to the face of
the row unit and aligns directly ahead of the disc openers.
The coulter and the row unit both work off the same parallel
links for a precise alignment and depth relationship. The
constant alignment of the coulter and disc openers assure
that the seed is placed in a seed trench with no air space
below the seed that could cause poor seed-to-soil contact and slow
germination of the seed.
Finger Residue Manager
Ideal for medium to high residue levels, the 13" (330 mm) diameter
steel finger wheels clear residue away from the seed opener. Adjusts in
1/4" (6 mm) increments so you can set
it low enough to move residue aside,
yet high enough to avoid creating
an unwanted trench.
