“Monsanto South Africa was the first Monsanto location outside of the US to purchase the SRES planter. The performance of this planter brought a level of precision in planting that had not been experienced previously. We found the planter easy to use and delivered on promises in the first year. We were extremely pleased with the support from SRES given the distance from the US. SRES provided not only people on call at any time but also a video to help us understand how to set up and utilize the planter. We found the SRES team to be very interested in our special needs and willing to innovate to help us achieve our corn testing requirements.”

“SRES has indeed raised the standards for research planter performance world wide.”

Smaller, more maneuverable, more affordable…

The Runabout Planter is compact and light weight, (2-row weighs only 1,500 lbs.) while still offering all the functionality and controls of the SRES Classic Planter, or even the SRES Advanced Planter.

Mounted on a Monosem frame, the Runabout Planter is available in 2-row or 4-row configuration and any row width.

The Runabout Planter is ideal for planting on beds and for planting relatively small numbers of plots quickly and efficiently.
