With the TERRASEM FERTILIZER, PÖTTINGER supports the growing trend towards direct fertilisation: In the face of increasing fertiliser prices, new types of fertiliser, new fertiliser regulations and environmental legislation, it pays to employ precision fertiliser management in future.
On the FERTILIZER drills, the seed hopper is divided into two parts and designed as a pressurised hopper system. The partitions are fixed at 60:40. It is also possible to fill 100 percent of the hopper with seed.
The side access platform is also standard on FERTILIZER seed drills. During the folding sequence, the side platform folds in and out automatically.
The fertiliser placement depth is set conveniently using the hydraulics. The terminal displays the placement depth in digital form.
The TERRASEM FERTILIZER has separate metering units and distributors for fertiliser and seed. Simultaneous precision application of fertiliser and seed in a single pass. The fertiliser metering system can also be used for another seed material such as a companion crop, for example. The entire operation and monitoring of both systems is integrated into one terminal
Fertiliser or a second type of seed material is placed in a band between each second row
Variable placement depth down to 10 cm
High coulter pressure and reliable penetration of the single-disc coulter.
Flat Suffolk coulter point guarantees less soil movement to the side so that deeper penetration of the coulter is possible in hard and dry conditions.
Additional shear bolt protection avoids damage in the event of extreme stress.
Flat discs with sealed bearings
410 mm diameter
Coulter pressure up to 180 kg
Hydraulic adjustment of fertiliser placement depth
Plenty of clearance to the side
Unrestricted soil flow
Using direct fertilisation allows you to apply fertiliser at the same time as drilling the seed. This enables you to achieve optimum growth conditions during the early phase of seed growth and increase the generative performance of the seed. On PÖTTINGER's TERRASEM FERTILIZER seed drills, the placement depth of fertiliser and seed can be set individually from the cab. The second metering system can also be used for other seed materials to further increase the output and cost effectiveness of FERTILIZER seed drill combinations.
With a hopper volume of 4,200 l or 5,600 l, the TERRASEM FERTILIZER models have short filling intervals.
In addition, the seed hoppers are equipped with level sensors as standard. The filling level is displayed on the terminal with centimetre precision.
