Amity Seeding Equipment Amity knows agriculture Amity TechnologyTM is a fourth-generation manufacturing company. Founders Howard Dahl and Brian Dahl are grandsons of E. G. Melroe, who founded Melroe Manufacturing Company, and sons of Eugene Dahl. Eugene was a partner at Melroe and provided leadership to Steiger Tractor as it grew from $2 million in annual sales to more than $100 million in six years. In 1977, Howard and Brian Dahl incorporated Concord, Inc., which became the leading U.S. air drill manufacturer. Concord had a particularly strong role in bringing air seeding technology to the CIS (former Soviet Union). The Dahls sold most of Concord to Case Corporation in 1996. Howard and Brian used assets not purchased by Case to launch Amity Technology. The Amity edge Today, Amity Technology provides products on also manufactures and distributes soil sampling ISO:9001 quality certification the leading edge of agricultural technology – equipment, plus provides crop management is now ISO:9001 registered for quality standard certification. all to help producers cut costs and increase tools to boost farmers’ fertility, soil management, yields. Besides its long history in developing seeding and other practices. Amity products and programs. The ISO premise is that consistency creates proven air seeding equipment like the Concord® are distributed throughout the world, with the reliability, which leads to excellence in product design, Air Drill, Amity also manufactures a superior company’s research, development, manufacturing line of sugar beet equipment. The company and headquarters in Fargo, N.D. 2 Amity achieved the certification Amity Technology in August 2007, recognizing the company’s quality management systems manufacturing and end use. The Amity Single Disc Drill is just one of the products produced through ISO-certified quality systems and processes. 3 Consider the history of seeding: For decades, double disc box drills dominated the market. In the 1980s, air delivery with shank openers changed the market. The first new drill technology in 20 years Ten years later, it was single disc drills with air delivery. In 2008, Amity Technology introduced the Single Disc Drill. Now tested for two seasons, farmers are finding significant advantages with the new Amity Single Disc Drill. Amity Single Disc Drills are uniquely simple, easy to operate and maintain. The Single Disc Drill story First invented and patented in Australia, the team at Amity (the same people who created and marketed the revolutionary Concord Air Till Drill) saw the potential of the Single Disc Drill. Amity bought it and brought the implement manufacturing to Fargo, North Dakota. Amity tested an initial run of 25 Single Disc Drills in the northern plains in 2008. Amity saw needed design modifications to seed effectively into heavy clay soils, and spent the fall and winter 2008 - 2009 making changes necessary to seed in soils common throughout North America. 4 5 Field proven for no-till and conventional tillage No-till, minimum till or conventional till: The Amity Single Disc Drill has been customer-proven The Amity Single Disc Drill works equally in a variety of soil, residue and moisture conditions in well in all three conditions. Down pressure adjustment on the openers North America, Australia, Ukraine and other locations, where growers report this is the drill of choice for consistent seeding. from the tractor cab eliminates the need for opener adjustments. The primary disadvantages of no-till with other single disc designs—hair pinning and side wall compaction—simply do not occur with the Amity Single Disc Drill. 6 7 Amity Single Disc Drills eliminate hair pinning, sidewall compaction The Amity Single Disc Drill does not have a gauge wheel running next to the disc. This allows the soil to lift and flow back against the packer to be re-leveled over the seed furrow. Competitive drills’ gauge wheels run next to their discs, firmly holding residue and soil in place. If the residue is not cut, it is tucked into the seed furrow. Even when seeding into very wet, humid residue, Amity Single Disc Drill operators have not reported tucking as a problem. They also haven’t had to wait for residue to dry. The discs lift and displace soil from the seed furrow and create enough loose dirt for the packer wheels to adequately pack. On other drills, the gauge wheel position also causes sidewall compaction, or smearing. By trying to hold the soil in place, certain conditions actually compress soil against the blade, causing a compacted seed furrow. Smeared or compacted sidewalls also inhibit root development and, ultimately, yield. The Amity patented “opposing single discs” lift and displace the soil between the two narrow 6-inch rows. The loosened soil coming off of the twin discs, flows back against the trailing packer which re-levels and firms the soil over the seed rows. This soil displacement eliminates sidewall compaction, hair pinning, and open seed furrows while leaving a 6-inch blackened strip to encourage soil warming. 8 9 Depth control adjustment Right away, you’ll notice details that make the Single Disc Drill easier to operate and maintain, including: ■ One rank seed openers ■ Single point down pressure control ■ On-the-go down pressure adjustment ■ No springs on seed openers ■ Low hp requirements ■ Option to band NH3 in mid-row band ■ Easy depth control adjustments ■ 10 Precise down pressure The down pressure is precisely maintained by a hydraulic cylinder on each tool bar. The pressure is constant throughout the entire range of cylinder travel. Pressure on the cylinders is controlled by the operator on-the-go. A pressure gauge, mounted for easy visibility, allows the operator to monitor down force on toolbars. The joy of simplicity Superior seed placement, even at high speeds ■ ■ Height of the drill frame sets the depth of the row units. As the drill rises, the discs seed shallower. As the drill frame lowers, the discs seed deeper. Packer tires hold the discs precisely at seeding depth. Depth control collars, in the frame cylinders, hold frame exactly at desired height.

Ribbon-seeded bands and multiple fertilizer placement options offer small grain yields that other seeding systems just can’t match. With a 5.5 inch wide ribbon of seed and only 4.5 inches between rows, seed bed utilization is the highest available with a packed row. Plant response is a much stronger stem, superior roots and maximum yields. Through years of seeding trials, the Concord (predecessor to the Amity Air Till Drill) proved over and over again this key to maximum production. Depending on your choice of seed openers, fertilizer can be placed with the seed in a 5.5-inch seed and fertilizer ribbon, or you can place a portion of the fertilizer in the seed ribbons and place the remaining safely below the seed or off to the side. This seeding system offers the most flexibility in fertilizer placement. The system best for your farm can be tailored to match your tillage practices, soil, rainfall and tractor capacity. The key to uniform emergence in cereal grains is proper packing. The Amity Air Till Drill weighs thousands of pounds more than most competitive drills. Combined with its wide packing wheels, this gives the Amity Air Till Drill the best chance of superior seed-to-soil contact. Packing wheels are mounted on the walk beams with every walk beam separately spring mounted to the drill frame. Running over stones or on ridges will not hinder uniform, even packing. 18 19 Air Till Drill Shanks are optimally placed on the Air Till Drill for maximum residue clearance. There are no clog points where shank placement is compromised to fit the drill frame. Optional coulters are available to allow operation in extreme residue conditions such as corn or sunflower stalks. Optional disc levelers on the shanks will eliminate stepping (rear ranks covering front ranks to make a stepped field finish). The result is a smooth field finish regardless of field speed, allowing more acres seeded with no compromise to field finish. The Amity Air Till Drill is proven for superior equipment longevity. Operating costs on the Amity Till Drill consist of wear items: ground openers and air hoses. Revolutionary seals ensure that bearings will last many years with minimum maintenance. Daily maintenance is confined to a few grease points on the transport linkage. For minimum-till and no-till applications, with superior fertilizer placement options, the Amity Air Till Drill will be an efficient, high yielding choice for your farm.

A simple and easily accessible adjustment makes depth changes in .25-inch increments. Down pressure can be set individually at each seed opener or across the whole drill by changing the down pressure cylinder stroke. This allows the operator to tune the drill for changing field conditions, such as tire compaction and variable soil conditions. No other drill offers this level and ease of depth control. The Amity Double Disc drill is designed for conventional tillage farming operations. This drill is excellent for small grains, canola and soybeans. This air drill will consistently give great results in virtually all lower residue/conventional tillage environments. Some drills are very sensitive in depth setting and leveling, and operators must be very vigilant to avoid mistakes. The double disc drill, with its ease of adjustments, makes the operator’s job much easier and error free. Plus, an automatic work switch stops and starts the drill on headlands, freeing the operator for other tasks. Double Disc Drill Specifications: Model 40 Sections 3 Weight 18,000 lbs. (8,165 kg) Working width 40 ft. (12.2 m) Take advantage of higher yield potential from narrower rows, as demonstrated in multiple research studies. The principle is simple. Give each seed more room to grow. Yield potential is sacrificed with competitive drills (especially with spring cereals) using narrow rows up to 14-inches apart. The Amity Double Disc Drill offers 6- or 6.75-inch row spacing. If your farm utilizes conventional tillage, you’ll want to consider the superior depth control, ability to seed small seeds at shallow depths, yield potential and efficiency of the Amity Double Disc Drill.
