The study developed a laboratory-scale row unit downforce test stand and used simulation scenarios to evaluate the response time of the downforce control system and the load distribution between the gauge wheels, opening discs, and closing wheels.
In recent years, precision planters have incorporated automatic control of the row unit downforce to reduce sidewall soil compaction, maintain proper seeding depth, and control row unit ride quality. By applying an appropriate row unit downforce, more uniform emergence and increased yield can be obtained. However, little research exists on evaluating the response and accuracy of downforce control systems during planting. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to (1) develop a laboratory-scale row unit downforce test stand and (2) use the test stand to evaluate the downforce control system response time and the load distribution between the gauge wheels, opening discs, and closing wheels using simulation scenarios based on real-world soil and terrain data. The downforce test stand was able to distribute the applied downforce to the row unit gauge wheels, opening discs, and closing wheels. It was also capable of varying the row unit ride height. The simulation scenarios using the test stand showed that the downforce control system maintained the target gauge wheel load (GWL) of 379 N within +/- 223 N for more than 94% of the time during all simulations. The downforce control system was also able to manage the GWL within 1.3 s for disc load variations up to 667 N.
