Centaya Special harrow-mounted seed drill

The twin-chamber hopper means that the new Centaya-C Special offers the option of sowing companion and undersown crops in addition to the main cash crop. These are of great benefit for weed suppression and for increasing erosion control and biodiversity. In addition, the simultaneous application of fertiliser is an efficient solution that leads to rapid seedling development and high field emergence. This sowing technique offers farmers and contractors a variety of establishment methods and a high degree of flexibility by the combination of seed and fertiliser.
 

The hopper capacity of the Centaya-C Special of 1,500 l is divided in the ratio of 70: 30. Two different materials can be filled in volumes of 1,050 and 450 l.

The ISOBUS-controlled Centaya-C Special enables separate and precise metering of a wide variety of application materials via the infinitely adjustable electric metering units with sowing rates from 0.5 - 400 kg/ha. The Centaya-C Special can be used at forward speeds of up to 10 km/h and with row spacings of 12.5 or 15 cm.

• Two metering units for a wide variety of materials
   

Also the combination of the Micro plus micro-granular applicator allows the driver to apply a third material in the seed furrow in a single pass. The application utilises small quantities of micronutrients or low seed rates, for example, which are sown into the same seed tube as the other applied materials.
