SeedMaster openers are designed with a gentle hydraulic trip - a valuable feature when seeding on rocky terrain.
SeedMaster began independent depth control in the early 90swhen Norbert Beaujot designed the active hydraulic opener. Each individual SeedMaster opener places every seed at exactly the same depth across the field - for vigorous, uniform emergency, optimal yields and a crop that ripens all at once.
The dual knives sideband fertiliser in a separate furrow - close enough to the seed for maximum uptake, yet far enough to prevent seed damge - so you can safely apply high rates of fertiliser with no worries. On rolling hills or open plains, or uneven land with dips and ridges the results are always the same. Superior product placement for a high-yielding crop.
| Advanced Features at a Glance |
a) Anti-corrision Opener processing
- All steel components are flawlessly cleaned in a blasting chamber before powder coat is applied
- Attractive, long-lasting powder coated finish resists corrosion due to fertilisers or weather
- Protects your planters resale value
|
b) Maintenance-free pivot
- Double-bushing configuration with UHMW (anti-wear material)
- Adjustable as it wears, to ensure consistent peak opener performance
- Innovative design
- Gentle fertiliser knife trip and main opener trip
|
c) Presswheel Force sensor
- Measures and displays presswheel foce readings in tractor cab. Lets you accurately and easily adjust hydraulic pressure as soil hardness varies for uniform downforce
|
d) Hose holder Clips delivery hoses in place. Eliminates plugging due to kinking |
e) Quick depth setting Simple, rugged design with built in depth gauge |
| f) Presswheel Versatile pneumatic tyre. Flexile for mud release. Low pressures recommended for heavy clay regions. |
| g) Twine guard and mud guard Protected bearings and hub setup for long maintenance-free life |
h) Seed knife
- TruBand angled seed carbide ensures long life. Side soil push guarantees seed and fetiliser separation
- Carbide tip is thicker where it engages with the ground, for extreme durability
- Low replacement cost
- No maintenance required
|
i) Fertiliser knife
- Aggressive penetration angle, laterally stable
- Long-wearing, low replacement cost
- Thick-bottomed carbide tip slows wear. Extends long life.
- Universal design for any combination of NH, liquid and granular fertiliser
|
j) Residue deflector (patent pending)
- Stainless steel deflector prevents residue from accumulating on knives
- Ensured accurate product placement
- Smooth hard finish
- Standard on all Simplicity SeedMaster drills
|
k) Hydraulic cylinder
- Long time cylinder mounts. Double-bushing configuration
- Cutting-edge, corrosion-resistant technology; ORB fittings
- Low hydraulic pressure requirements because of aggressive penetration and hyper-efficient hydraulic block
- Gentle hydraulic trip for rocky land
- Built by ISO-certified manufacturer
- Double-braided hoses reinforced with two walls of braided steel for extreme strength and security
