Why Upgrade Your Parallel Arms?

Worn bushings and pivot points lead to excessive row unit movement, inconsistent seed depth and premature wear on other components. Our upgrade kits solve these issues with:

  • Precision-engineered bushings and spindles for long-lasting performance
  • Tighter tolerances that eliminate side-to-side slop
  • Field-tested durability proven across thousands of acres
  • Cost-effective repair vs. full OEM part replacement

Stop buying new arms every few seasons. Upgrade once, and replace bushings only as needed.

FAQ

Who Should Consider This Upgrade?
Any grower tired of replacing worn arms or rebuilding with complicated kits. This is the low-maintenance, high-yield solution.

When Should I Replace or Upgrade?
If your row unit has ½” or more play when lifted, it’s time. For systems using Automatic Hydraulic Downforce, upgrade even sooner to preserve system performance.

What Are the Materials Made Of?
Sleeves are carbon alloy steel, treated to resist corrosion. Bushings are durable and replaceable—no full arm replacement needed.
