EDX precision air seeder in 6 m and 9 m working widths

The EDX trailed precision seeder, which can be used after the plough, in mulch or for direct sowing, is characterised particularly by its reliability and its high operational comfort. The EDX, in working widths of 6 m and 9 m, has seed hopper sizes of 600 l and 800 l respectively and can be operated at speeds of up to 15 km/h.

singling & sowing system Micro plus granular applicators MORE INFORMATION www.amazone.net/edx The EDX range from stands for high efficiency All models have in common that they can be operated, both following conventional or conservation soil tillage or for direct seeding. This applies equally as well when sowing maize, sunflowers and rape. The trailed EDX 6000-TC and 9000-TC are ideally suited to large sized fields. Experience in practice shows that with an EDX 9000-TC, depending on the farm, a seasonal output of up to 1,500 ha is possible. The approximate seasonal output for the smaller EDX...

During comprehensive placement tests in 2010, different precision air seeders were compared whilst sowing maize. The objective of the test was to com-pare the placement quality of the new EDX precision air seeder with conventional machines from other manufacturers (A, B, C). The results show an obvious advantage in the EDX technology. Number of placement targets 1 Grain spacing along the row For coefficient of variation (CoV), the measure for placement accuracy, the EDX comes off very well in comparison with conventional machines. At 15 km/h the CoV values for the EDX are virtually the same as...

EDX 6000-TC For medium sized fields and seasonal outputs up to 900 ha “With the EDX 6000-TC, Amazone has brought to the market a professional precision seeder which impresses with its seed embedment, row fertilisation and simple handling”

Less lift capacity is required on the tractor With its 6 m working width the EDX 6000-TC is the “smaller” of the two trailed EDX models although still designed for huge seasonal outputs from 600 to 900 ha. The trailed EDX 6000-TC requires, in comparison with a mounted machine, less lifting power on the tractor. The precision seeder features a central 600 l seed hopper plus a fertiliser tank with a capacity of 3,000 l. These supply enough seed and fertiliser for about 20 ha without the necessity to refill. For filling the fertiliser hopper AMAZONE offers a filling auger as special option. The...

EDX 9000-TC Ideal for large fields and seasonal outputs up to 1,500 ha

Uncompromising in large area operation As the flagship of the EDX precision air seeders, the trailed EDX 9000-TC with its 9 m working width has been designed without compromise for operation in large fields. Many EDX 9000-TC have managed 1,000 ha and more in just one sowing season to the utmost satisfaction of their owners. The EDX 9000-TC features two centralised seed hoppers each of 400 l capacity with a 4,600 l fertiliser hopper capacity. As for the EDX 9000-TC, AMAZONE also offers a filling auger as a special option for the quick and simple filling of the fertiliser hopper. The EDX 9000-TC...

These are the opinions of those that use them Feedback on experience with the EDX 9000-TC Osterhuber Agrar GmbH, Wilhelmsburg, Germany At Osterhuber Agrar GmbH during the maize campaign 2010, which only lasted 10 days, the two EDX 9000-TC each managed 1,100 ha. That was – in two shifts – daily more than 100 ha per machine. The peak outputs per hour were approx. 6.7 ha. Ulf Warse, Ulf Wrase manager for crop production, Osterhuber Agrar GmbH reported “That’s what we have done in the previous years with 5 machines, each with a 9 m working width and we did it this year with 2.5 machines. And we have...

«Partner» GmbH Company – Kozhanov Sergey Anatoljewitch, Russia Specialising in arable farming and animal production, the business farms an area of about 21,000 ha, split into 50 % wheat and 25 % sunflowers, maize, peas and the rest silage ground. On the farm will operate two EDX 9000-TC precision single «Partner» GmbH seeders. “Through well organised Kozhanov Sergey Anatoljewitch working routines, the seeders are capable of up to 200 ha per day, which means per season over 3,000 ha of sunflowers. One of the biggest advantages over other maize drills is the vastly shorter fill times. With conventional...

Coulter technology in perfection “ The coulter system on the EDX performed particularly well in our test under all operating conditions. Even when mulch sowing, and in heavy soil, the coulter system for both the fertiliser and the seed maintained their depth.“ The EDX precision air seeders open up a wide range of application

Fertiliser/seed placement Even at high forward speeds Precision seed placement When working at high forward speeds it is important that the fertiliser and sowing units run smoothly so that fertiliser and seed are precisely placed at the desired depth. Therefore, all AMAZONE EDX precision air seeders use centralised, hydraulically adjustable coulter pressure systems. Every Xpress sowing unit is built up of several elements: First a V-shaped angled double disc sowing coulter cuts the soil surface and pushes to one side any crop residues, followed by the furrow former that shapes the furrow and...
