Pre‑Season Planter & Tillage Checks: Avoid Downtime This Spring
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Spring planting success starts long before you enter the field.
In this episode of Leap Forward with Riesterer & Schnell, the team breaks down the most important tillage and planter wear items to check before spring, helping you avoid in‑season downtime and protect yield potential.
We begin with key tillage tool wear points—including shovels and disc blades—and what to look for as you pull equipment out of the shed. Then we shift focus to planter performance, walking step‑by‑step through critical components that impact seed depth, trench formation, singulation, and emergence consistency.
Whether you’re running conventional tillage, minimal till, or no‑till, these preseason checks can help you plant with confidence, reduce breakdowns, and get every seed off to the right start.
If you’re preparing your equipment for spring, this episode is a must‑listen.
