Is there a way to detect an air seeder blockage?
Detecting air seeder blockages just became a lot easier with the DICKEY-john Daisy Chain Air Seeder Blockage System (DCBS). This system monitors seed and fertilizer flow on small and large air seeder implements and alerts of blocked or faulty sensors.
How are population sensors installed on John Deere air seeders?
For population sensors being installed on John Deere Air Seeders the sensor is installed off one of the secondary runs from the tower/manifold and for CCS drills after the split. As with gravity drills, the sensors are secured using the supplied hose clamps and wires routed towards the main drill harness.
Where to find Dickey John air seeder blockage system?
Blockage module installs on the ISO CAN BUS for air seeder blockage system only without the need for a Master Air Cart Control ECU. Enter your zip or postal code to find the DICKEY-john distributor nearest you. For more detailed results, narrow your search by miles. Outside U.S. and Canada?
Can a Loup 2 be used on a John Deere air seeder?
In addition to any gravity fed grain drill, the Loup II is capable of being installed on any John Deere Air Seeder as well, for example monitoring population and blockage on John Deere air seeders such as the 1850, 1890, 1990, CCS drills and many others.

How are blockage sensors installed on a John Deere drill?
Blockage sensors can be installed to monitor product flow. These sensors are installed by drilling a hole into the seed tube and strapping the sensor to the outside of the seed tube. Blockage sensors are then routed into a central blockage module which then connects into the main drill harness.
How many towers does an air seeder need?
For example an air seeder with 4 towers/manifolds would be supplied with 4 population sensors (1 per tower) and the remaining secondary runs to use blockage sensors. This supplies the user with an average seed rate as well as protection against any blocked runs.
