TERRASEM Mulch seed drills

Universal settings for perfect crop emergence

What farmers want: Effectively prepared soil surface with fine tilth at seed slot level for uniform growth. The seedbed should be as level and crumbly as possible in order to ensure minimum crop losses.

Our solution: You can integrate PÖTTINGER TERRASEM machines into any seedbed preparation concept - unique ground tracking and uniform depth placement are always guaranteed. Combined with a two-row, low-draft disc harrow, the best tilth and mixing of the soil is ensured.

Impressive tyre packer

Impressive tyre packer

The combined packer and wheel unit is positioned between the disc harrow and the seed coulters. Even pressure distribution across the entire working width is achieved thanks to the set pressure on the seed coulter as the rear roller follows the contours of the terrain.

The packer follows the contours of the ground to ensure precise ground tracking in any position - in the direction of travel and across the working width.

• The chassis with its wide 17" tyres consolidates the soil ahead of the drilling coulters - 4 rows at a time with a row spacing of 12.5 cm, or 3 rows with a spacing of 16.7 cm.

• The flexing characteristics of the tyres promote self-cleaning and improve the fine structure of the tilth.

• The machine is supported by all wheels at headlands when raised out of work. The chassis frame always remains in the same position; only the disc harrow and coulter rails are lifted.

Conserves soil at headlands

Conserves soil at headlands

Thanks to their versatility and excellent manoeuvrability, TERRASEM mulch seed drills enjoy an enthusiastic following.

• The wide tyres ensure perfect consolidation ahead of seed placement.

• The chassis is fitted with wide tyres to consolidate the soil, each tyre covering four seed rows.

• At the headland the weight of the machine is supported by all the wheels to conserve the soil.

• Each packer wheel is mounted independently to ensure that their is no smearing of the soil, especially at headlands.

Exact seed placement

Even in difficult conditions and at high speeds, the interplay between the double-disc coulters and the coulter pressure results in exact seed placement.

• With the coulters offset at 320 mm and a row spacing of 12.5 cm, an optimum plant distribution density is ensured even in difficult conditions.

Ultimate ground tracking

Three-part design

Our PÖTTINGER mulch seed drills impress first and foremost with their perfect ground tracking. With their intelligent drilling technology, they follow every undulation in the ground perfectly. The result: The best ground tracking over the whole working width.

Three-part design

The three-section design of the TERRASEM C models ensures uniform tillage across the whole working width. Middle section - right folding frame section - left folding frame section.

Precise contour guidance

The folding disc harrow frames, packer and coulter rails allow a freedom of movement of up to 5 degrees up and down to perfectly adapt to ground contours transverse to the direction of travel.

These folding sections are hydraulically preloaded using accumulators to provide equal pressure distribution in any working position over the whole working width. On TERRASEM models with a working width of 6 m upwards, optional jockey wheels ensure exact depth control of the leading tillage tools.

• This guarantees thorough tillage over the whole working width.

• The placement depth can be adjusted using the three-point mounting of the coulter rail.

Contour adaptation perfected

Contour adaptation perfected

By attaching each section via a 3-point linkage on to the packer frame, each coulter section is free to follow the ground contours.

• The coulter sections can adapt to uneven ground in the direction of travel.

• When driving over a bump, the coulter rail is not lifted but remains at the same seed placement depth.

• The coulter pressure also remains unchanged.

Four-joint mounting ensures independence

Four-joint mounting

The four-joint 3-point design connects the coulter rail with the packer frame and allows the coulter rail to adjust automatically to the ground contours.

When driving though a dip, the coulter rail is adjusted upwards.

• Optimum germination conditions.

• Uniform coulter pressure and seed placement over the entire field

• Homogeneous distribution in the field and cost effective yield values

Optimum seedbed

You can integrate PÖTTINGER TERRASEM machines into any seedbed preparation concept - unique ground tracking and uniform depth placement are always guaranteed.

Fully fledged disc harrow for precision tillage

Fully fledged disc harrow for precision tillage

On our TERRASEM mulch seed drills, soil preparation is taken care of by a two-row disc harrow with plain or scalloped discs.

The maintenance-free, rubber-mounted 510 mm diameter discs loosen the soil on the surface across the entire working width. At seed level they leave behind an ideally structured layer of tilth. The disc harrow delivers perfect results even on heavy soil and in large quantities of harvest residues.

Further advantages:

• Infinitely-variable hydraulic depth adjustment – the first gang of discs can be adjusted independently of the second.

• Spring-mounted edging boards are fitted as standard on both sides for a uniform surface finish.

Maintenance-free disc bearings

Maintenance-free disc bearings

The special twin-race taper bearings have been adopted from the construction machinery industry. Ruggedness and reliability are guaranteed as a result and shock loads are absorbed effortlessly.

• The sealed, twin-race taper bearings are maintenance-free.

• A labyrinth seal provides the best protection for the bearing.

• A metal cover encapsulates the labyrinth seal for additional protection.

NONSTOP stone protection for reliability and durability

Two pairs of discs behind the tractor wheels are available with independent depth adjustment.

• Even heavily compacted wheel marks can be removed to create a uniformly level surface.

• It's easy to set the working depth

• Protected against overloading

• Lifted simultaneously with the disc harrow at the headland.

Spring loaded track eradicators for better working results

Spring-loaded track eradicators

In ideal feature for loosening and breaking up hard and compacted tractor marks.

• The reversible point is coated with hardened metal in the wear zone.

• Each individual track eradicator is protected against overloading by a spring.

• The working depth of the eradicator tine is easily adjusted.

• Raised at the same time as the disc harrow at the headland.

• On areas with a well-prepared seedbed the intensity of the disc harrow can be reduced, which in turn reduces the power requirement.

• Long service life thanks to hardened steel.

• 3 versions with 1, 2 or 3 tines per track.

The front board

The front board

• The front board ensures perfect levelling when used in ploughed fields.

• Good flow even with large quantities of harvest residues

• Hydraulically infinitely adjustable at a maximum working depth of 40 mm

The levelling board

The levelling board

• The levelling board in front of the tyre packer also promotes a fine tilth structure.

• As the flow of soil behind the disc harrow is slowed down, it is directed downwards in front of the packer.

Levelling paddles on coulter rail

Levelling paddles

• Levels ridges between the tyres on light, sandy soil

• The angle and height of the tines can be adjusted individually.

• Adjusted without the need for tools

• Resistant to stones and harvest residues - each tine on its own spring

Extreme versatility

Cost-effective, extremely versatile and convenient – this is the PÖTTINGER WAVE DISC cultivation system for seedbed preparation.

In dry regions or in wet areas – all the WAVE DISC system's advantages come into play to make it the perfect example for reduced soil cultivation while increasing yield. Completely in-line with low disturbance, smart soil cultivation.

WAVE DISC - for minimum tillage

WAVE DISC

The WAVE DISC cultivates the soil in water-saving strips: only the region either side of the seed slot approx. 45 mm wide is worked. The rest of the surface remains untouched.

• The residual moisture in the strips in between helps the seed to germinate.

Makes your work easier

Track eradicator discs

The track eradicator discs behind the tractor wheels can be set precisely to the seed depth and the depth of the tractor wheel marks.

• Hole matrix with 5 positions

• Adjusted without the need for tools

• Disc mounting easy to handle during adjustment

• Four discs per track

Working cost-effectively

Low disturbance

• Low draft thanks to reduced tillage intensity

• Less traction required - less soil moved

• Reduction in erosion - conserves soil structure

• Earlier sowing time in spring

• Water saving system

Suppresses erosion

Low disturbance tillage leaves behind a lower proportion of loosened soil and a smaller cultivated area.

• Less risk of ponding during heavy rain

• Reduced sifting of fine soils in strong winds

Works in any conditions

WAVE DISC system row spacing

The maintenance-free WAVE DISCs have a diameter of 510 mm and are available with row spacings of 12.5 cm or 16.7 cm. A row spacing of 16.7 cm is recommended for regions with extremely heavy, wet and sticky soil conditions. The working depth is infinitely-variable controlled by a hydraulic system like on the WAVE DISC system.

Arable hygiene - the new challenge

Arable hygiene

• The minimised soil movement creates poor germination conditions, especially for light-dependent germinating weeds such as black grass and brome grass.

• The WAVE DISC low disturbance effect is particularly effective in minimising germination of weed seeds

Coulter expertise for the perfect seed slot

Successful sowing is dependent on closely-matched coulters for opening the seed slot, placing the seed and covering the seed again. A well-formed seed slot is essential for successful drilling.

The guarantee for optimum placement and uniform germination - PÖTTINGER delivers exactly the right coulters for your needs.

Seed material DUAL DISC coulters

DUAL DISC double-disc coulters

The large diameter DUAL DISC coulters cut right through surface trash to form a uniform, tidy seed slot.

Harvest residues are not pressed into the ground with this system. At higher travelling speeds, the inside drilling elements ensure uniform placement.

• Dynamic grain placement in a clean seed slot

• The inter coulter rail spacing of 320 mm provides a large clearance and smooth material flow even with large amounts of organic matter

• Staggered arrangement; for close row spacing (offset) of the coulter discs

• Infinitely variable adjustment of the coulter pressure between 40 and 120 kg

• Row spacing from 12.5 cm for the best plant distribution density (optional 16.7 cm)

• Both the front and rear coulter arms are the same length. They are mounted on staggered coulter rails to ensure the same pressure on each coulter.

• The central depth adjustment is set simply by adjusting the coulter rails using an integrated ratchet.

Press wheels for uniform placement depth

Each disc coulter is mounted on an independent parallelogram to ensure excellent ground tracking - even at high travelling speeds.

• Each of the disc coulters is guided by a press wheel to ensure a precise and uniform seed placement depth.

• In addition to depth control, the press wheels also ensure controlled consolidation of the soil and pressure on the seed.

Fertiliser FERTILIZER PRO fertiliser coulter

FERTILIZER PRO fertiliser coulter

Fertiliser is applied on the TERRASEM FERTILIZER models using the PRO single-disc fertiliser coulter. Behind the disc harrow, fertiliser is applied via these coulters and positioned between two seed rows (mid-row banding).

• The PRO single-disc fertiliser coulter deposits fertiliser between the rows of seed at the same level as the plant root - wide rubber brackets on the box section frame prevent sideways movement to ensure precise row spacing.

• Precision placement saves fertiliser, minimises unproductive losses and promotes faster development of the root mass for optimum yield.

• The placement depth of fertiliser and seed can be set independently of each other.

Metering with the highest precision

Metering with the highest precision

The TERRASEM metering system is designed for the highest possible precision and ensures that exactly the right amount of any given seed type is used, even in the most difficult operating conditions.

• The TERRASEM R3 to C6 have one metering system, while the C8 and C9 have two.

• Metering wheels can be changed quickly and easily, dependent upon seed rate and type.

• The metering unit is electrically driven, controlled via a radar sensor or ISOBUS signal from the tractor.

• Seed output can be set conveniently and easily directly from the cab between 0.6 kg and 350 kg/ha.

• Automatic metering wheel control with pre-metering provided as standard ensures continuous drilling and avoids unsown areas.

Smooth distribution

A high volume of air and low air velocity protect the seed and any dressing against damage. Together with the precision metering system and large distributor heads, this system delivers uniform seed grain placement.

• Maximum effectiveness of seed and dressing is ensured

• Special distributor inserts can be used to alter the row spacing.

• On the TERRASEM C8 / C9 both distributors are automatically lowered hydraulically during the folding process.
