This new coulter has a narrow rigid tine which is angled forward to pull the tip into work at a depth of approx 75mm. Each coulter acts as a "mini sub-soiler" creating a fine tilth and moving residue sideways. The seed is then delivered into the turbulant soil behind the narrow tine. The soil below the seed is loosened and aerated by the action of the tine, roots can therefore freely grow down into moisture giving a well established system to support plant growth. The tine is tungsten carbide tipped for maximum life even in the hardest conditions. | |||
|
Following
the coulters is a cage roller to leave the seed bed level and firm.
This ensures good soil seed contact and helps retain moisture in
dry conditions.

 |
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. Rear fold markers are standard on 6m drills. | |||
| 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. |
 |
|||
 |
Drive for the metering unit is supplied by a shaft from one of the drills flotation wheels ensuring constant drive and a clean start/stop to each bout. Accurate calibration is performed simply by turing the wheel and collecting the metered seed. | |||

The angled following
harrow tines leave a level seedbed. The working depth, angle and
pressue of the following harrow can all be adjusted.
