FLEXIBLE SEED HANDLING
The seed distributors cater for a wide range of sowing applications, from small seeds right up to large legumes such as peas and lupins, allowing you to experiment with a variety of cover crops. Furthermore, broad bean rollers are available as an option. Adjustable rubber gates minimize seed damage and fertilizer build-up.
The wide range 31 speed gearbox makes it easy to vary sowing rates without the time consuming task of changing sprockets.
SIMPLE, RELIABLE SOWING
The disc or tyne undercarriage consists of 10 individual, adjustable spring jump assemblies, providing good trash clearance and soil penetration. Unlike double disc type assemblies they are not prone to plugging in wet conditions.
PURPOSE BUILT FOR VINEYARDS
Developed in conjunction with premium grape growers in McLaren Vale, the 1.86m (6’2?) width makes it the ideal machine for sowing between narrow rows of vines and turning at the headlands. Pneumatic depth wheels and screw assemblies on both right and left sides, are used to level the machine and maintain working depth.
LARGE CAPACITY
The extra large grain and fertiliser box means fewer stops between refills. An extra-large sight glass makes it easy to keep monitor levels.
STAY IN CONTROL
An in-cab hectaremeter, calibration scales and extra-large sight-glass are included.
