  • The Tru Count Air Clutches start and stop the flow of seed almost instantly using the commands from your section control unit and GPS. One clutch per row is always needed, regardless of the number of rows.
  • Choose either the FmX™ integrated display or an EZ-Guide 500 lightbar as your source for both GPS and overlap detection. Customers with an EZ-Guide® Plus lightbar can also use their existing displays. In addition you can use either the EZ-Boom® system for up to 10 control sections or the Tru Application Control™ system for up to 24 control sections.
  • The Tru Application Control system can command up to 24 control sections for the ultimate precision. Additionally, the system can monitor populations on up to 148 rows and control up to 4 channels of seed, liquid or granular material by changing the rates either manually or automatically using a prescription. The system works with the FieldManager™ display.
  • The air compressor is mounted on the tractor or planter and supplies air to the system. The air tank is mounted on the planter and is connected directly to the compressor with the supplied tubing. The tank(s) supply the air valves with air as needed.
  • Air valve modules turn the air clutches on/off. Each module commands up to 4 control sections and each control section can have 1 to 4 clutches. Multiple modules can be used to increase the number of sections. As an example, if you have a 16 row planter and you wish to set it up with 8 control sections with 2 rows per section you'll use 2 air valve modules.
  • The EZ-Boom system automatically commands up to 10 Control Sections. The FieldManager display or EZ-Guide 500 lightbar automatically keeps track of seeded areas and shuts off row sections at precisely the correct time. To upgrade to seed population control choose the Rawson™ drive and ACCU-RATE® variable rate controller which is now controllable from the EZ-Guide 500 lightbar or FieldManager display.
Overview
Technical Support

The Tru Count Air Clutch® by Trimble delivers superior performance for all your planting applications.

By avoiding double planting in headlands and point rows, air clutches help save wasted seed costs and deliver increased yields.

Placed on each row the Tru Count Air Clutch allows you to control the row pneumatically from the tractor cab through a GPS controller. With almost instant activation or deactivation there is no lag time in clutch stop or startup.

Tru Count clutches can be used in a large number of planters including John Deere, Kinze, Case IH, White, Monosem, and Great Plains.
