Abstract: An oversuit system and method are provided for assisting a user of the oversuit in maintaining a relatively static position.

Abstract: A singulating meter apparatus comprising a seed disc operative to be rotated in a housing about a disc rotational axis with inner and outer rows of seed apertures defined by the seed disc. A singulator is arranged to protrude from an outer and inner side of both paths. A seed output port is operative to receive seeds from the seed apertures in the inner and outer aperture rows. In a single mode both rows are dispensed into a single seed conduit, and in a dual mode the seeds from each row are dispensed into individual conduits. A seed counting sensor is mounted on the seed output port counts the seeds passing through the seed output port in both the inner and outer seed conduits. A four row disc is also provided that as well has dual and single options.

Abstract: A seeding system for seeding large and small seeds includes a plurality of dispensing apparatuses mounted on an implement frame each comprising a first furrow opener mounted and a second furrow opener spaced laterally from the first furrow opener. A singulating meter is operative to dispense the large and small seeds through a meter discharge. A first seed conduit is connected to the first furrow opener and the meter discharge, and a second seed conduit is connected to the second furrow opener and the meter discharge. A selector is operative in a large seed mode to maintain the connection of the first seed conduit to the meter discharge while disconnecting the second seed conduit, and the selector is operative in a small seed mode to maintain the connection of the first seed conduit to the meter discharge while connecting the second seed conduit to the meter discharge.

Abstract: A seed supply system includes a singulating meter with a seed reservoir pressurized to a meter pressure that is in a desired pressure range. A seed supply air stream carries seeds dispensed from a nurse tank to an air release assembly located above the singulating meter. As seeds are metered from the seed reservoir at a rate less than the rate seeds are dispensed from the nurse tank seeds accumulate in the air release assembly. The pressure of the seed supply air stream at the top of the seed column fluctuates and a barrier is operative to resist air flow between the air release assembly and the seed reservoir sufficiently to maintain the meter pressure in the desired meter pressure range. The barrier can be provided for example by an airlock or a column of seed in a drop tube between the air release assembly and the seed reservoir.
