Does this sound like you?

The Agony of Waiting

Missed meetings. Lost time. Frustrated customers. When your ride is late (or doesn’t show), everyone loses.

Surprise Charges &

Hidden Fees

Unexpected costs hurt your budget — and your trust.

No-Shows When You

Need Them Most

High-demand hours or last-minute changes shouldn’t mean you’re stranded. But for most, that’s the reality.

Greasing Arms Every Season

Crawling under your planter every season to grease arms that seize up anyway

Inconsistent Planting Depth

Worn arms create side play that throws off depth, costing you uniform emergence and yield.

Replacing Arms Year After Year

OEM arms wear fast and fail often. The parts and labor costs add up quicker than they should.

Downtime During Planting Season

A seized arm mid-planting means lost days and lost acres, right when you can't afford it.

This Isn't Just Another Gauge Arm.

It's a Long-Term Fix.

The Coyote Gauge Arm isn't a gimmick or a short-term patch.

It's a precision-machined upgrade that eliminates the problems that plague standard arms, so you can spend more time planting and less time wrenching.
