About OmniRow

Raven’s new OmniRow planter control system varies seeding rates, automatically turns rows off or on, and provides speed compensation around curves. The hydraulic motor was built specially for Raven. Motors are small enough to be mounted to drive a single row, yet will power up to four rows. OmniRow is available for most John Deere and Kinze planters. Kits should be available soon for Case IH and White planters.
