Mechanical seed drill technology
Reliable drilling
Our VITASEM seed drills have been developed to provide an easy yet precise drilling process. The tried-and-tested technology is now combined with even easier operation. This is the signature feature of our mechanical seed drills.
Our VITASEM linkage-mounted and implement-mounted seed drills always work reliably, both in combination with our seedbed preparation machines and when used on their own. True to the tagline "Mechanical, practical, reliable", our machines are ready to handle the site-specific conditions on any size of farm. This is reflected in the possible working widths of 2.5 m to 4 m and also in the various seedbed preparation machines that can be teamed up with them. The proven, versatile coulter systems ensure a neat seed slot for perfect seed placement in almost all operating conditions.
Always in combination
Our implement-mounted seed drills ride on top. Coupling up to FOX compact combinations or LION power harrows in their light, medium or heavy versions is done in minutes using a 4-point linkage on the rear roller. The optional hydraulic top link allows generous coulter lift via the centrally located pivot point on the rear roller.
Uniform seed germination
Uniform seed placement is of paramount importance for optimum crop management and ultimately a high-yield harvest.
Thanks to the different coulter systems for a wide range of conditions, the PÖTTINGER coulter rails ensure a uniform placement depth and perfect seed emergence.
Homogeneous germination can result in uniform crop growth, enabling precise and effective application of pesticides. Crop that ripens evenly also contributes to improved harvesting performance.
Practical and reliable
The mechanical VITASEM seed drills enable a wide variety of crops to be sown thanks to the special multi-metering system. Special reducer inserts for seed mixtures and an agitator shaft ensure reliable drilling even if the seed mixtures have different sizes of seed.
This makes it possible to drill a variety of cover crop mixtures to promote soil life and, at the same time, minimise tillage.
