Cirrus Grand trailed cultivator drill

The new distributor head provides excellent lateral distribution. The Smart plus specification variant enables MultiSwitch single row switching for maximum sustainability by saving seed and fertiliser. The distributor head can be easily tailored to all tramline systems, as well as track widths and tyre widths via the ISOBUS terminal, in order to create a tramline. Mechanical intervention is not required. The single row control reduces overlap, particularly on headlands or in wedge shaped fields, thereby saving on input costs and ensuring optimal plant populations. V-compensation enables uniform start and stop across the width of the drill on headland, despite varying seed pipe lengths between the distributor head and the coulters. By opening the flaps in stages, from the outer to the inner rows, or closing them down in stages from the inner to the outer rows a very straight finish is achieved every time the drill starts or stops sowing.

The benefits:

• Very low level of overlap for vigorous crop development in overlap zones
• Reduction in the use of inputs due to the single row shut-off
• Enables the creation of tramlines with application maps using the EasyTram application

1. Starting without V-compensation
2. Starting with V-compensation

1. The air flow transports the applied materials up the corrugated stack pipe to the distributor head.
2. Here, they collide with the upper plate and are distributed evenly.
3. When the flap is open, the applied materials are carried by the air stream through the seed pipe into the sowing coulter and then the seed furrow.
4. When the flap is closed, the applied materials are deflected downwards, falling into the funnel and are circulated back into the distributor head. As the rows are closed, the metering unit adjusts its output so that the distributor head does not become blocked.
5. At the deflection point, the air escapes upwards and out through the seed pipe, preventing excess pressure building up.
