A-DRILL
INTEGRATED SEED DRILL A-DRILL APPLICATION OF A THIRD ITEM
On all e-drill models (except on e-drill compact mounted on M series), the integrated seeder a-drill with 200 litre capacity can be mounted. The extra hopper with separate metering device allows to apply an additional sort of seeds, fertiliser or other products like slug-pellets into the soil flow of the following harrow in one pass. There are many reasons to promote the establishment of additional crops or to apply extra nutrients. An additional crop will suppress weed growth and does not compete with the leading crop. The extra crop catch the mineral nitrogen in the soil as well as air nitrogen when mixing with leguminous plants and transform it into organic nitrogen. Thus, the nitrogen will still be available for the next crops. Fertilisers are applied to support plant growth specifically of the youth development and thus more precisely to prevent any losses into the groundwater. In addition soil structure, stability and fertility is improved by root development, diversity, humus build-up and erosion protection. The a-drill has 8 outputs which will spread the flow of seeds or fertilisier by the baffle plate uniformly into the soil flow of the following harrow over the entire working width. The a-drill is delivered with different types of rotors: for small seeds (rape, mustard, cabbage, clover, etc ...), medium rotors for seeds like vetch, grass or sunflowers and for large seeds (peas, horse beans, etc ...) or fertilisier/ insecticides, it is strongly advised to choose the Flex rotors option, which is able of deforming with large seed diameter. The agitator placed above the rotor ensures a steady stream of seeds. A brush, located at the base of the rotor, will regulate the flow and improve the setting accuracy. Up to 8 different rotors are available for fine, medium and big sized seeds Seed metering adjustment is released with the control box from the cab. Two control boxes are available: Version 5.2 which monitors and controls flow speed regulation, ha and hour counter, self-diagnosis, etc. It can be connected to a radar or Isobus 7-pin tractor speed information plug. Version 1.2 which controls rotor speed, the calibration test, the fan (on/off) and the level sensor.
