The Lockwood AireCup Planter uses a large diameter vacuum wheel to singulate potato seed. Using the large 30" wheel reduces skips and doubles. The narrow side-to-side arm spacing reduces seed richochet and bounce. The rearward velocity counteracts forward ground speed and the shorter drop height results in increased accuracy.

The electric/hydraulic system features automatic feed control, eliminating the need for adjustable feed gates, and keeps the correct amount of seed in the bowl. The AireCup planter has a new,strong frame that is shorter in the front to back length by 16-3/16". Aluminum fans have been added to replace the steel fans, reducing the fan weight from 90 lbs. To 21 lbs., which reduces start-up inertia.

• Four, six, and eight row models available to maximize productivity.
• Hydraulic drive eliminates return chain
• Aluminum fan rotor
• Hydraulic Wheel option
• Hydraulic drive eliminates return chain
• New Aluminum hydraulic manifold for cleaner hydraulic layout
• Capable of planting faster and more accurately than other planters.
• Patented planting mechanism uses a vacuum to singulate seed pieces.
• Actively separates and holds each seed piece.
• Not adversely affected by rocks and/or large seed pieces.
• Uses stainless steel arms to reduce plugging and ease cleaning.
• Only one moving part in planting mechanism reduces maintenance costs.

Lockwood AireCup Planter - Proven Accuracy
The Lockwood AireCup Planter uses a large diameter vacuum wheel to singulate potato seed. Using the large 30" wheel reduces skips and doubles. The narrow side to side arm spacing reduces seed ricochet and bounce. The rearward velocity counteracts forward ground speed and the shorter drop height results in increased accuracy.

Radar Hydraulic Drive
Population is always based on true ground speed. The radar gun constantly senses ground speed and relays it to the hydraulic drive. As an added benefit, the operator without leaving the tractor seat can change population. Single and Multi-Functional drive available

Independent Closing Disks
The independent closing disks behind the planting wheel close the seedbed and start the hilling process.
