VITASEM Mechanical mounted seed drills
Mechanical implement-mounted seed drills - 2.5 to 4 m working width
Description
Proven technology meets user-friendly, practical features, all in the latest generation of mechanical VITASEM seed drills. The machines are available as simple linkage-mounted seed drills and with the suffix M (mounted) as implement-mounted machines. The numerous equipment options are designed to cover all operating conditions for perfect sowing results every time. At the same time the machines offer unbeatable user-friendliness.
Advantages
Fine seed flow control
Seed grain size varies enormously. For this reason, a sophisticated metering system is necessary. The combination of the offset 3-row cam seed wheel and the 1-row fine seed wheel enables precise placement of grains of every size. The metering wheels are separated by a partition. A choice of reducer inserts are provided to increase seeding variability. This well-thought-out system makes it possible to reduce the amount of seed needed. At the same time, sowing accuracy is increased by precise distribution of the seed. All possible configurations can be changed in minutes without the need for tools.
Fine seed flow control
Adjusting the speed of the sowing shaft is easy and fast with the step-less gearbox that runs in high viscosity oil. Sowing shaft speed is reduced by half by adjusting the countershaft. With this combination, the metering shaft always runs at a speed suitable for every seed type. This provides optimum seed flow rate control.
Switching an agitator shaft or pendulum shaft on or off guarantees steady material flow and also improves sowing accuracy of seed with sluggish flow rates.
Flexible hopper Tegosem
During sowing, the optional flexible TEGOSEM hopper combines application of a companion crop or microgranulates in a single pass to save time and costs.
The material to be applied is distributed evenly with the TEGOSEM. Companion crops are beneficial in areas at risk of erosion. Microgranulates can speed up seed germination.
The metering unit is driven electrically. Two different sizes of metering shaft ensure precision distribution of the material (fine or coarse metering), even at low application rates.
Reliable surface application
The separate fan drive system is operated electrically. The material is applied to the surface pneumatically using distribution plates. This guarantees full surface application regardless of the wind conditions. The angle of the distributor plates is adjusted centrally to vary the distribution range.
User-friendly filling and calibration
Filling is done from the loading platform on the seed drill. The filling opening is located at an ergonomic height, allowing the hopper to be filled in a comfortable standing position.
Calibration is also performed standing beside the TEGOSEM with the machine lowered.
Calibration
Mechanical calibration
Calibration is performed mechanically as standard by turning a calibration handle.
The number of rotations continues to be counted on the terminal. When the final five rotations are reached, an acoustic signal sounds to alert the operator that calibration is about to end.
This allows you to keep track of everything and avoid calibration errors.
Calibration made simple
Available as an option, an electric calibration system can also be installed on seed drills with mechanical metering. The motor saves you from laboriously cranking by hand and runs at a constant speed. This reduces calibration errors and improves accuracy.
The same level of operating convenience is achieved as with electric metering.
Technological highlights at a glance
1. Linkage
Both machines in this line are coupled to the tractor’s 3-point hydraulic linkage. For easy coupling to your tractor, a variety of positions are available for selection.
-
VITASEM: Tractor – seed drill
-
VITASEM + soil preparation: Tractor – LION/FOX – HYDROLIFT – seed drill
-
VITASEM M: Tractor – LION/FOX – seed drill
2. Metering system
The multi-metering system enables rapid switching between normal seed and fine seed. A range of reducers increases the sowing spectrum even further.
-
Precise seed grain separation
-
Seed rates between 0.7 and 400 kg/ha
3. Seed hopper
The large hopper capacity means fewer filling intervals, shorter waiting times and ultimately an increase in output.
-
Between 530 and 1700 l
-
Hopper cover hermetically sealed
-
Optional interior hopper lighting for greatest possible safety at night
4. Operation
Nearly all the settings are placed on the left-hand side of the machine. This is where calibration takes place.
-
Simply, conveniently and easy to access
-
Simplified calibration, also through removal of the calibration trays at the side
