Precision seed handling scales for seed tenders, bulk seed boxes, and pro-box platforms. Achieve 99.75% accuracy, reduce seed waste, and maximize planting efficiency with Digi-Star weighing systems from Central City Scale.

In today’s high-value seed market, every pound and every acre matters. Central City Scale delivers rugged, field-proven weighing solutions engineered specifically for seed tenders, bulk seed-handling equipment, and pro-box systems. Our scale systems help farmers and custom applicators deliver the exact amount of seed to every planter box, eliminate guesswork, minimize costly clean-out time, and keep accurate records for inventory and billing.

Over- or under-seeding directly impacts your bottom line. A 2–3% error in seed delivery can waste thousands of dollars in seed per season and create uneven stands that reduce yield potential. Our seed tender scales give you real-time, on-the-go weight information so you can:

• Load each seed tank with identical amounts
• Know exactly how much seed remains in the tender
• Calculate acres planted vs. seed used
• Print tickets for custom application billing
• Maintain precise inventory records

Our bolt-on seed tender scale systems install on virtually any brand of seed tender (Unverferth, Meridian, Friesen, etc.) without cutting or welding. Operators consistently report 99.75% accuracy in the field, even under rough terrain and extreme weather.

Key benefits:

• Consistent seed delivery to every row unit
• Dramatically reduced clean-out time at the end of the day
• Faster loading and unloading
• Less physical labor and fewer trips back to the bin

In modern precision agriculture, consistent seeding rates across every acre directly influence stand uniformity, yield potential, and input costs. Central City Scale offers rugged, field-proven planter and grain drill scales—designed to give you real-time weight data right on your planter or drill. These systems help eliminate guesswork when filling hoppers or boxes, ensure exact seed placement per row, reduce seed waste, and provide valuable planting records for better management decisions.

Running out of seed mid-pass, overfilling boxes, or inconsistent hopper weights wastes time, seed, and money. A small variation in seeding rate can lead to uneven emergence and significant yield loss. Our planter weighing systems and drill scales deliver:

• Precise hopper/box fill to match target seeds per acre
• Real-time monitoring of remaining seed during planting
• Accurate calculation of acres planted per load
• Faster calibration and setup for variable-rate prescriptions
• Reduced downtime from running short or returning to the tender
• Professional data logs for crop insurance, field records, and custom application reporting

Farmers report quicker planting, less seed waste (often 3–7% savings), and improved overall efficiency—especially during tight planting windows.

Our planter and grain drill scale systems are trusted by farmers across North America for their exceptional durability and accuracy—even in the toughest conditions of dusty fields, wet weather, and constant high-vibration operation. The bolt-on design allows for fast, straightforward installation on most existing equipment with no major modifications required, making these scales an ideal upgrade for retrofitting planters, drills, and air seeders already in use.
