GreenDrill 501 – Universal catch crop seeder box with 500 l hopper capacity
Comfortable, flexible and precise
The GreenDrill seeder box is the ideal solution for sowing catch crops or the under-sowing of a secondary crop in just one operational pass. The GreenDrill seed hopper is safely accessed via steps and has a capacity of 500 l. The distribution of the seed across the entire area is achieved by baffle plates in front of the harrow or by seed pipes between the coulters. As an alternative, there is also the option of sowing the seed via a second outlet on the TwinTeC plus coulter.
Benefits of GreenDrill:
- Various metering cassettes available Wide-area distribution using baffle plates or seed pipes between the coulters
- Full-width application via baffle plates, seed pipes between the coulters or a second outlet on the TwinTeC plus coulter
- Easily accessible via access steps
- Machine control via ISOBUS interface
- Application of a third medium – triple-shoot
Machine control via ISOBUS
Control of the GreenDrill can be achieved in various ways, depending on the machine onto which the GreenDrill has been mounted. For example, if the GreenDrill 501 is mounted on a Cirrus, it is an “ISOBUS participant” and, as such, is fully integrated into the electronic system of the Cirrus. The GreenDrill is shown in the controls of the machine operating section of the terminal as a second or third seed hopper with metering unit.
Accurate electrical metering
The metering of the seed is carried out by an electrically-driven metering unit. The electric drive facilitates easy setting of the seed rate using the ISOBUS terminal in the tractor cab. Alternatively, the electric drive can also be controlled fully automatically using application maps. It is furthermore possible to calibrate the system at the push of a button and to do pre-metering in field corners.
