Key Capabilities
- Scalable Working Widths: Available in both the nimble Avatar 40 SD and the wider Avatar 60
SD models to match your farm's acreage and logistics.

total, allowing simultaneous seeding and in-furrow starter fertilizer application or split-rate cover crops.
- Precision Metering: Globally proven electric motor-driven meters ensure exact rate
application and simple roller changes for oilseeds, soybeans, cereals, and cover crops.
- Compound Angle Openers: 6-degree disc blade angle with a 3-degree pitch lowers draft
requirements and ensures reliable furrow closure.

seed depth and prevent wheel track compaction in soft ground.
- Closing Systems: Includes a seed locking wheel for uniform seed embedment, with a variety
of alternate closing wheel options available.
- Transport & Operation: Slim chassis layouts provide narrow road transport widths (11.5 ft
to 14 ft), while ISOBUS virtual terminals handle folding, calibration, and section control.
