Distribution Staggered metering cells Details and benefits Metering system for normal and fine seed Application rates from 1 to 400 kg/ha. Bottom flap with a curved edge Details and benefits Adjustment of the metering system from standard seed to fine seed without tools Large cell wheels of large diametre Slow rotation Precise metering Less damage of grain

Distribution Large trays Half-width shut-off Agitator For calibration and emptying of the seed drill Easy fitting During operation the trays protect the metering system against dust and water Half-width shut-off Outside the hopper Easy access Agitator At the bottom of the hopper For an even distribution Can be shut-off

Distribution Basic adjustment 1) Adjustment of the cell wheel (fine or large seeds) 2) Adjustment of bottom flap according to seed size 3) Calibration chart 4) Fix the calibration trays, turn the drive wheel to start off the metering devices. Empty the trays and verify your calibration. Re- adjust your callibration via continuously adjustable gearbox. Click on the photo
