All planters and drills drive from rotational motion supplied either by ground wheel drive or hydraulic motors. This rotational force is transferred to the seeding units through a series of shafts, chain/sprockets and shaft couplers. The Conser Clutch is essentially a clutching coupler or sprocket (The new Air Clutch is a sprocket clutch). By placing the clutch in the driveline that drives the seeding units you can control whether a certain row or rows are driving or not driving. Coupler Clutch Sprocket Clutch
By placing a clutch on each half, quarter or third of the planter you can control each section independently from the other section(s). When you enter a point row situation you simply shut off the section that is double planting and the other section(s) will continue to plant. If you wish you may place a clutch on each row and be able to shut off any row at any time while all other rows continue to plant. VERY IMPORTANT! The Air or Electric Clutch does NOT need air or electricity during normal planting operation. The only time air or electrical power is required is when you wish to disengage a section of the planter in point rows.
