Features

 |
The solatronic control box monitors all key areas of sowing including; forward speed, area sown, fan speed, hopper level and tramline management. | ||||||||
| When on a tramline bout the tramline valves save seed back to the tank, preventing over sowing and ensuring a clean start to each tramline. As standard two shutoffs are used per wheeling, three can be specified to accommodate large/flotation tyres. |
 |
||||||||
 |
The tramlining sequence is advanced automatically when the operator moves the markers. The angle of the large diameter marker disc's can be adjusted to ensure a clear mark is left in difficult seed beds. The markers fold vertically to allow close sowing to hedges. | ||||||||
| The central metering unit offers precise control of sowing rate from 2 to 400kg/ha and ensures even seed spacing. The seed is metered into a high speed air stream then distributed to the individual coulters. This unit offers easy calibration, simple setting and fast hopper emptying. |
 |
||||||||
 |
Three rows of elite tine coulters with a 40cm stagger and 12.5cm row spacing ensure even seed depth is maintained. Adjustment through a parallel linkage ensures pressure on all coulters is identical for constant depth. | ||||||||
|
Two
rows of staggered following harrow tines leave a level seedbed.
The maximum working depth of the tines can be adjusted as can tine
pressure and angle.

The
1706 Range
|

 |
3m 1706 Power Harrow Mounted The 3m 1706 Drill can be mounted on most common makes of power harrow allowing the possibility of utilizing an existing harrow. Pictured here on a Kuhn this 3m drill is fitted with assymmetrical tramlining to prevent the need for double sowing when using a 3m drill to sow 24m tramlines. |
||||||||
 |
4m 1706 Power Harrow Mounted Pictured here on our 250hp Magnum Power Harrow this 1706 drill has been specified to include PE markers and a hopper extension taking the total hopper capacity to 1575lt. Close coupling of the drill to the harrow keeps weight close to the tractor for reduced lift requirement. |
||||||||
 |
3m Cultivator Mounted The 1706 can also be cultivator mounted. Shown here on our Optitilth seedbed cultivator. The optitilth features rigid ripper tines, straight S tines and steel or rubber packer. This configuration reduces tractor power requirement and increases possible working speeds for higher daily work rates. |
