Precision Planting Kits Need More HP Than Stock
High-speed planter kits often need 50–70 more HP than stock. Tune the tractor ECU in-house instead of buying a larger machine. Free consult before you trade.
What you need to know
Precision planting kits need more HP than stock more often than dealers admit. High-speed planter kits often need 50–70 extra horsepower. CC Diesel writes tractor ECU and ECM files in-house so you can run the kit without buying a larger tractor. Turnaround is usually 5–10 minutes. We do not delete emissions.
The kit is only half the horsepower story
If the tractor is short, the high-speed kit cannot deliver the acres it was sold to deliver. A tune is often cheaper than trading up.
Files are written in-house, not sourced overseas.
