The seed hopper is simply divided for single-seed drilling using PCS and demand-specific fertilisation. The partition walls are repositioned quickly and easily using wing-nuts without the need for tools.
1 Partition setting for sowing cereals only
2 Partition setting to divide the tank for maize seed and fertiliser
The standard version of the hopper can hold 450 litres of maize (2 x 225 l) and 800 litres of fertiliser. With the seed hopper extension there is space for 650 litres of maize (2 x 325 l) and 1,200 litres of fertiliser.
The standard metering system allows fertiliser to be applied on both sides of each seed row.
Instead of row fertilisation, for example, a grass companion crop can also be sown for improved erosion control.
It is possible to change the metering wheel even when the seed hopper is full thanks to a shut-off plate above the metering wheel.
The AEROSEM seed hopper features a large opening for filling. This enables rapid and trouble-free filling using Big-Bags or a front loader bucket. A wide bag support with handrail on top of the hopper makes it easier to fill by hand. The robust roller tarpaulin cover is dustproof and rainproof, rolls up automatically and can be closed again easily. With an optional hopper extension the seed hopper can be expanded to hold 1,850 litres on all rigid AEROSEM seed drills.
