Robust construction for long service life
ROBUST, VERSATILE SEEDING MACHINES FOR EVERY CROP AND LIVESTOCK PASTURE.
As grain growers adopt alternative farming practices it is important they retain a flexible position with their machinery. John Shearer has met this need with our versatile range of 4 and 6 row direct drills.
FEATURES
ESSENTIALS:
Large under-frame clearance for maximum trash flow
Adaptable for split seed/fertilizer distribution – Double cups optional
Renowned 620 tyne assemblies – Greater than 113kg (250lb) breakout
Fluted rollers – Suitable for a wide variety of seed types
Large wheel equipment – For excellent flotation
Big capacity grain and fertilizer boxes – Less stops between refills
Full level lift system – excellent depth control
Easy to calibrate wide range gearbox
Remote greasing for grain and fertilizer shaft bearings
Gas struts on lid
Numerous configurations are available for the operator to direct drill, adopt summer cropping sowing practices, carry out conventional seeding or somewhere in between with min-til or trashfarming. The addition of cultivating tynes enables a quick and easy conversion from min-til to trash farming or conventional seeding.
In the Shearer tradition the direct drills are robust and heavily constructed in the areas that count and built to last. The result is less down time, for a more efficient and cost effective operation.
SIMPLE CALIBRATION
All models feature electronic scales for easy sowing rate calibration.
ELECTRIC DRIVE OPTION
An electric drive option is available to facilitate alteration of sowing rates from the tractor seat.
EXCELLENT DEPTH CONTROL
Large, high-flotation tyres provide accurate depth control over varying soil conditions, helping to promote uniform planting depth. All models have a level lift system with three series connected hydraulic cylinders. One cylinder is connected to the hitch and controls the fore and aft level lift function. Cylinders on each wheel, which operate in conjunction with the hitch cylinder, control the depth of sowing.
LARGE HOPPER CAPACITY
All sizes have large seed and fertilizer compartments for fewer stops between refills. For example, a 27 row drill can hold up to 660kg of wheat and 1100kg of fertilizer.
EXTRA-LARGE SIGHT GLASS
An extra-large sight glass provides the operator with a quick visual reference of material level in the front bin.
CUSTOMISE AND ENHANCE
Many options are available for tailoring the machine to your particular needs. These include bolt-on extensions, electric drive systems, air assist blower kits and a variety of openers.
END-ON TOW OPTION
Don’t be limited by narrow gates and roadways. Reduce transport width with the end-on towing option.
LID GAS STRUTS
Gas struts are fitted as standard on each end of the hopper lid for operator convenience and safety.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Maintenance time is reduced, with the easily accessible remote greasing facility which is fitted to the grain and fertilizer shaft bearings.
DOUBLE SOWING OPTION
Double cups are an option for operators wishing to split the delivery of grain and fertilizer when deep banding or placing different material in alternate rows.
PLATFORM WITH SAFETY RAIL
Both 4 and 6 row models feature a wide heavy duty platform and safety rail.
GEARBOX
All 4 and 6 row drills feature a 31 speed, fully enclosed, oil bath gearbox to give simple calibration and wide range of sowing rates for both seed and fertiliser.
AIRMATIC OPTION
A hydraulically powered blower is available as an option to boost seed flow. Air volume is controllable via a tool-free adjustment knob on the hydraulic motor.
