TERRASEM FERTILIZER Mulch seed drills with fertilizing

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

• Each packer wheel is individually mounted - this prevents smearing of the soil surface at the headland.

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

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 plant distribution in the field resulting in better yield

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

Proven over many years in the field, the maintenance-free

• 40 mm-thick rubber mounting elements

• The clamping brackets are mounted on a thick-walled box section frame.

• Four rubber elements provide the discs with high penetration power.

Track eradicator discs

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

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 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 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

• 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

• Is raised at the headland and for road transport

Makes your work easier

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 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

Works in any conditions

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 on the WAVE DISC system.

Arable hygiene - the new challenge

• 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

• 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

• Offset configuration of the coulter discs for reliable seed slot formation

• 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)

• Same-length coulter arms ensure identical coulter pressure on each unit.

• An easily adjusted turnbuckle ratchet on the coulter rail is used to adjust seed placement depth on each section.

• 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.

• Where fertiliser is deposited, it is also possible to deposit a second seed

It has never been so easy

PÖTTINGER attaches great importance to user-friendliness. As a result, calibration is easy.

• Practical catchment bag

• The calibration flap is monitored by a sensor.

• Simple and fast emptying of any remaining seed in the hopper is facilitated through the hopper emptying shutter.

• Automatic seed flow reduction when tramlines are enabled

• Calibration at the press of a button

• Infinitely adjustable seed flowrate adjustment

• Changeable metering wheels with quick-release connector for all seed types

• Hopper level measurement

• Fan and metering shaft monitoring

• Pre-metering for immediate start at headlands

• Seed library

Seed flow sensors for convenience and reliability

The sensor sensitivity can be adjusted in three stages depending on the seed material.

Constant and reliable feedback on seed flow is provided at the terminal.

The status of each coulter pipe is indicated by an LED directly on the sensor:

• GREEN: Sensor active and row OK.

• RED flashing: Row blocked

• The coulter pipe number is indicated on the control terminal

The intelligent heart of the system

The IDS distributor head ensures uniform crop growth by maintaining a completely consistent seed count in all coulter pipes.

1 Riser tube with funnel-shaped outside conveys the seed material through the distributor head to the outlets.

2 The patented funnel system with controlled flaps feeds the seed back into the air stream.

• With active tramline switching the seed rate is automatically reduced - for a seed saving of up to 6 %

• Exact and even distribution across the whole width, even when tramlining

Flexible row spacing

With a standardised row spacing of 12.5 cm, you can generate different row spacings using distributor head inserts.

• Implemented for crops cultivated as root crops

• Can be expanded to row spacings of 25 cm / 37.5 cm / 50 cm / 75 cm depending on machine type

• Flexible use of the machine for a wide range of crops

• Shorter dwell time assures less damage to the seed in the distributor head and aids germination when sowing legumes

More features: Tramline switching

Depending on the version of distributor head, symmetrical, asymmetrical or individual tramline switching is possible.

• A fully equipped IDS distributor head is equipped with controlled outlets on all seed rows - any tramline rhythm can be set with 2 to 6 rows switched off per track

Half width switching

PÖTTINGER offers the following options for maximum flexibility even with symmetrical tramlines:

• Half width switching to the left or right with full IDS equipment

• Half width switching to the right only - the right half of the distributor head is equipped with controlled outlets.

• Half width switching activated using the terminal

• Seed rate is reduced automatically

Manoeuvrability at the headland

The purpose-specific mounting enables a tight turning circle at the headland and during transport. The telescopic drawbar is also available with a ring hitch or hammerstrap coupling. These machines can therefore be fitted to any tractor.

• Thanks to their telescopic travel of +500 mm, you can run the tractor with twin wheels or wide tyres.

• A drawbar extension is recommended in combination with track eradicators.

Generous seed hopper for high output

The hopper can easily be filled using a loader, big-bags or an optional hydraulic seed hopper auger. A roll over tarpaulin protects the hopper from dust and rain. This is rolled up out of harms way to save space.

• The standard loading platform makes it easy to open the hopper cover to check filling progress.

• The mesh inside the seed hopper protects the metering system from foreign objects.

• Seed level monitoring of the hopper is standard.

• When the roll over tarpaulin is open, it is rolled up small and does not interfere with the filling process.

A seed hopper extension is available as an option.

Seed hopper auger for easy filling

A hydraulically driven universal filling auger for seed and fertiliser is available as an option.

• Convenient filling procedure with auger tube mounted in gimbals for easy handling

• Seed hopper volume can be utilised completely because auger outlet pivots over whole seed hopper area

• The auger is folded upwards and locked securely in place above the seed hopper during transport.

• High throughput capacity of up to 470 litres per minute.

• Made from cost effective, corrosion resistant stainless steel.
