Minimum tillage or direct drillingModule2— ONE ROW OF DISCS IN LINE WITH DRILLING DISCS :• Versatility : enables direct drilling into stubbles or cover crops.— PRESS ROLLER TO LEVEL UNEVEN SOILS :• Avoids puffy seedbeds.• Creates a level seedbed for accurate seeding depth.— DRILLING DISC ASSEMBLY Y MOUNTED ON PARALLELOGRAM PFRAME(DOWN-PRESSURE OF 50-80 kg) :• Regular drilling depth thanks to depth wheel and mounting on parallelogram linkage.• The wheel also firms the soil around the grain to ensure good seed to soil contact.• Good clearance to allow for the easy passage of large quantities of residue.— FOLLOWING HARROW :• Covers the seed and protects the soil from capping by spreading clods and residue on the surface.• Being fully adjustable for pressure and angle of attack there is very little chance of blockages.>> SPECIFICATIONSFastliner Fastliner 3000 Fastliner 4000 Fastliner 6000Working width (m) 3 4 6Hopper capacity (l) 2000 2000 (2600)* 2600 (3200)*Output per hopper load (ha) 13 13 17Working speed (km/h)Output per hour (ha) 2.5 - 3.07 - 153.1 - 4.0 5.0 - 6.0Potential output per day (ha) 25 - 30 31 - 40 50 - 60*Optional“ SD AND FASTLINER 6000 SD DIRECT DRILLS ”>> AGRONOMIC BENEFITS (TRIPLE DISC SYSTEM)— OPENER DISCS :> Serrated discs with a diameter of 430 mm work a narrow strip of soil (8 mm) and are particularly suitedto hard and/or stony soils where large quantities of trash are present.> Wavy discs with a diameter of 460 mm cut a wider slot (20 mm) and move more soil :• Soil conditions are good around the seed.• Soil warming and mineralization of soil nutrients are encouraged in the slot.• Working depth can be adjusted to suit soil type.— DRILLING DISC :• Uniform drilling depth thanks to depth control wheel and parallelogram mounting.• The press wheel firms the soil around the seed ensuring a good seed to soil contact.• Good clearance to allow for the easy passage of large quantities of residue.34>> SPECIFICATIONSSD SD 3000 P SD 4000 SD 4500 Fastliner 6000 SDWorking width (m) 3.00 4.00 4.50 6.00Hopper capacity (l) 2000 2600Output per hopper load (ha) 13 17Working speed (km/h)Output per hour 2.5 - 3.0 3.1 - 4.07 - 153.4 - 4.5 5.0 - 6.0Potential output per day (ha) 25 - 30 31 - 40 34 - 45 50 - 60
