2023 Dawn Remote Hydraulic Closing System RCX

The Dawn RCX System regulates the hydraulic downforce on your closing wheels using the same simple, in-cab dial control and hydraulic manifold used on the Dawn GFX.

Manufactured and assembled in the USA, the Dawn ACS/RCX may be used with your existing OEM closing wheels, or may be outfitted with Dawn M-Series Closers.

When planting, particularly at high speeds or in wet conditions, a seed firmer can be very problematic. A firing wheel rolls through the furrow, and tends to not drag residue or wet soil.

Corners and contours are always a challenge farming row crops. Seed in an open slot will likely mean late germination, if it isn't picked up by birds.

The RCX has 20 degrees of castered travel. It will follow most curves you encounter.

Easy to use.

The pneumatic firming wheel seats seed in the bottom of the furrow. It is followed, and closed by a remotely controlled hydraulic closing assembly.

One of the best uses for an ACS or RCX system is in a field with steep side slopes. It is common for a planter to crab down the side hill. As it tracks down hill, the closing wheel does not align over the center of the row, leaving a wide open furrow. The castering action of the ACS & RCX centers the closing wheels even if the planter is slipping down hill, or moving around a tight corner.
