Pressurised hopper system

×

For successful drilling

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.

Pressurised hopper system with partitioned seed hopper

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.


Convenient to use

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.


Simultaneous precision output

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.


FERTILIZER PRO fertiliser coulter for successful sowing

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.


Further advantages with the FERTILIZER PRO fertiliser coulter

  • 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

Extremely high output with working widths of 3 to 9 m

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.

High volume seed hopper

With a hopper volume of 4.2 l or 5.6 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.
