Avant mounted seed drill combination with FTender mounted front hopper

The Avant mounted pneumatic seed drill combination with FTender enables highly economical, high impact working after the plough and mulch sowing.

The ideal seed drill combination – seedbed preparation, strip-wise reconsolidation, sowing, optional fertiliser placement in the seed furrow and seed embedment – all in a single pass for efficient working!

Manoeuvrability – the arrangement of the front hopper and the rotary harrow or rotary cultivator with seed rail on the rear reduces the turning circle of the combination – despite working widths up to 6 m. Quick turning at the headland is no problem!

Protecting the soil – the weight of the implement is distributed more evenly across the tractor's axles thanks to the division of the front seed hopper and the rear sowing unit. This minimises soil compaction! 

Precise sowing in just a single pass for cost-effective working with the Avant.

1. The conveying system for the applied materials runs alongside the tractor, providing a clear view of the individual machine elements.
2. The FTender, with a large capacity of either 1,600 l or 2,200 l, is optionally available as a C version with a split hopper for applying fertiliser or a second seed.
3. Reduced axle loads on the tractor, since the weight of the machine is optimally distributed between the front unit and the rear unit.
4. Soil tillage machines with KE Rotamix rotary harrow, KX/KG Cultimix rotary cultivator or CombiDisc mounted compact disc harrow and a wide range of rollers for optimum seedbed preparation.
5. Precise sowing with the RoTeC single disc coulter or the TwinTeC double disc coulter.

FTender on the front and seed rail on the rear

Maintain the visibility, sow precisely and protect the soil!

The Avant offers a combination of front and rear units. Seed and, optionally, fertiliser, are carried at the front in the FTender, which are then fed to the rear seed rail via the conveying system along the side of the tractor. Here, the seedbed is prepared first using a choice of compact disc harrow, rotary harrow or rotary cultivator and reconsolidation roller. The Avant's following coulter rail places the seed and fertiliser directly into the seed furrow, and the open seed furrow is reliably closed by a harrow. This enables the efficient combination of seedbed preparation and sowing in a single pass, with optimally distributed axle loads to protect the soil and maximise the machine's manoeuvrability.
