To make operation as convenient as possible there are two metering drives to choose from. Each has its own advantages and makes the working day easier thanks to a steady, precise metering of seed.
Seed hopper volume has been increased by as much as 25 per cent compared to the previous models. Consequently, seed capacity is greater, especially for large-grain seed and seed with little weight per volume unit. This increases output and area coverage. You save a lot of time because the filling intervals are longer.
An optional hopper grid can be fitted to prevent large foreign objects entering the hopper.
The headstock is secured to the hopper and has a centre wall and bulkhead plate for greatest possible strength. The funnel-shaped outlets above each metering wheel ensure seed is fed in accurately and stop it shifting to one side when driving along a slope. Consequently, no metering unit is emptied and sowing errors are prevented.
The complete sealing arrangement of the hopper protects the seed from moisture and spray. As a result, seed quality remains constant and clean sowing is also guaranteed during brief showers of rain.
The opening is large enough to easily fill with big bags or a tractor front loader. A wide support for sacks makes it easier to fill by hand.
Ergonomically designed handrails are attached to the seed hopper for safe and convenient access. The wide platform provides an ergonomic and confident work environment.
For increased operating comfort, convenience, and particularly for greater safety when working at night, the hopper has interior lighting combined with flood lamps on the machine as an option .
Practical operation: All the controls on the linkage-mounted machines are simple and convenient to operate from the left side of the machine. Calibration, agitator shaft settings and access to the loading platform are also found here.
Correct calibration is essential for uniform seed distribution and consequently for homogeneous emergence. We at PÖTTINGER make the calibration process easier for you with numerous useful features to ensure that what you want to sow actually arrives at the seed coulter. It is now even easier than on the previous model.
Agitator shafts are provided as an option for seed with sluggish flow properties so that no clogging occurs above the sowing wheels and to guarantee a steady flow.
