MAXIM II (Product Page)

For over 80 years, Morris Industries has built simple, practical equipment that farmers require. That legacy continues with the Maxim II Air Drill. Based on the features of our single pass Maxim Air Drill, the Maxim II raises the bar on accuracy, dependability and durability.

With the Maxim II Air Drill you can seed, fertilize and pack in one pass, saving time, fuel and labor. Dual gauge wheels walk right over clumps and uneven ground for even greater accuracy of seed and fertilizer placement. The new, heavy-duty one-inch shank offers increased durability and superior product separation with Morris' dual shoot openers. With the new Morris Angle Disc Fertilizer coulter you can apply higher rates of liquid, dry or anhydrous fertilizer in a single pass.

Flexibility
