Pneumatic universal seed drill technology
The all rounder for every situation
PÖTTINGER's TERRASEM universal seed drill technology combines tillage, consolidation and drilling in a single machine: the perfect combination of high output, excellent reliability and precision seed placement to meet your requirements. Thanks to the disc harrow equipped with plain discs, scalloped discs, or WAVE DISC discs as a front tool, the machine is ideal for mulch drilling. The CLASSIC version without tillage tools produces impressive results on prepared seedbeds.
These frame sections consisting of discs, packer, and coulter rail, are preloaded using hydraulic accumulators to ensure equal pressure distribution in any working position over the whole working width. The machine can adapt perfectly to undulations in the ground thanks to the pressure applied. The result: the best ground tracking, uniform tillage and seed placement across the entire working width.
Three zones for optimum mulch drilling
The TERRASEM has a 3-section design for perfect drilling.
This seed drill with passive seedbed preparation delivers an impressive performance with its precision universal metering and perfect coulter system to guarantee exact seed placement. The new configuration of the discs ensures that the machine works one hundred percent in a straight line. The disc harrow as well as the fertiliser coulters (FERTILIZER machine) and seed coulters are mounted in an X configuration. An additional central WAVE DISC in the rear section of the discs ensures full surface movement.
Minimum tillage
The WAVE DISC cultivates the soil in water-saving strips: only the region either side of the seed slot approx. 45 mm wide is worked. The rest of the surface remains untouched. The residual moisture in the bands in between helps the seed to germinate.
High volume tyre packer
The tyre packer is positioned between the disc harrow and the seed coulters. The packer supports the machine to conserve the soil during headland turns. Because the coulter rail is suspended by four linkages connecting it to the packer, optimum ground tracking of the coulter rail is achieved across the whole working width.
Optimum plant density
The proven coulter rail with DUAL DISC coulter system ensures an ideal plant density for your crop. The large double disc coulters with a diameter of 380 mm create a neat seed slot. With a row spacing of 12.5 cm, optimum plant development is ensured and weeds are largely suppressed. A spacing of 16.7 cm is available as an option, which is particularly suitable for regions with high precipitation for better surface drying.
"We have soils that vary a lot, from light to heavy. We sow most of the crops using min-till mulch drilling. That's why we decided to go for the TERRSEM V 4000 D. The strength of this machine lies in the X configuration of the disc harrow. As a result, there is absolutely no sideways pull and it cultivates the soil perfectly."
