GEOCONTROL - Cost saving with immediate payback 

Seeding with GPS and GEOCONTROL in combination with an electric driven precision drill is a major step towards precision and cost saving. These machines are all equipped with ISOBUS technology which with the help of the IsoMatch Tellus terminal, can be easily controlled. 

Each electric driven seeding element, in combination with GPS and GEOCONTROL, is automatically switched on or off in exactly the right place, ensuring there is no overlap with any row that has already been seeded. This is especially handy in triangular fields, on curved or irregular shaped headlands.

With the pressurized seeding heart, the seeds are “shot” by an airstream of up to 70kph into the furrow. A smooth, flexible intermediate press wheel catches and protects the delicate seeds. Any negative impact such as vibration on the way between release point and soil contact are eliminated due to the high air stream.

The seeds reach their perfect position in the soil. Each sowing row is electrically powered by ISOBUS connection. An additional generator or other power sources are not required. The complete power supply and control is via ISOBUS.

e-drive II – complete control and monitoring of the machine from the tractor cab in accordance with ISOBUS standard

• With e-drive II, each sowing unit is driven individually via an electric motor.
• The low-maintenance drive is connected directly to the seeding heart via a toothed belt in an encapsulated dust proof housing.
• This enable an extremely compact design and smooth drive characteristics with low current consumption
• All the data is entered and read out via an ISOBUS terminal like IsoMatch Tellus PRO or Tellus GO+.
• The sowing distances are infinitely adjustable and can be changed during sowing.
• All the sowing units can be switched off individually.
• In conjunction with “close row” sowing widths of 37.5cm a further benefit of the e-drive II comes into play: Individual tramline switching. Tramlines can be set up for any spray width.
• The e-drive II features complete electronic monitoring of all machine functions including seed monitoring via an opto sensor.

GEOSEED - Precision at high end

GEOSEED is the precise synchronization of seed placement across the full working width of the machine. This ensures that seeds are distributed evenly, achieving an optimal pattern—either parallel or diamond-shaped—across the soil surface. The positive effects of this technology are far-reaching. By enhancing seed distribution, GEOSEED maximizes the efficient use of key resources such as nutrients, water, and sunlight, fostering optimal plant growth. Additionally, this uniform planting pattern helps reduce the risks of wind and water erosion, as the even distribution of plants improves soil structure and coverage, leading to better water retention and minimizing soil degradation.

Micro-drill for Optima HD-II and SX sowing units

The demand for microgranule applicators is increasing. Micro nutrients and also small amounts of insecticides or fungicides ensure the best start of the crop.

The electric driven micro-drills for the Optima HD-II and SX sowing units have been designed as backpack behind the sowing units and offer a hopper capacity of 17 liters.

They are electrically driven and ISOBUS controlled. The metering device consists of a wear-resistant plastic housing with exchangeable cell wheels made of stainless steel. This ensures the precise metering of the micro granules.

Operator’s safety

The engineers had focus on highest level of operator’s safety by offering easy and safe handling of the applicator. Therefore, the operator can exchange the cell wheels even when the hoppers are full of micro granule. There is no need to empty them first, reducing the operator’s risk of getting in direct contact with the granules.

A plus for the environment

The micro granules fall freely into the seed furrow without any air support, minimising the emission of dust. Therefore, the new micro-drill fully complies with the current guidelines for emission control of any granules applied.

Precision Farming

The comfortable, fully ISOBUS integrated control system allows the adaption to the stop and starting points of the seed row. This ensures precise shutting on and off at the end of the field and in tramlines (without overlaps or faults).
