GASPARDO seeding unit GASPARDO, your direct line to quality! The seeding unit designed and manufactured entirely by GASPARDO delivers reliable, quality direct drilling, regardless of seed type and actual conditions in the field, even where there is a lot of stubble to contend with. The considerable down pressure (up to 260 kg) allows it to easily cut a seeding line even through tough soil. Seeding depth remains constant thanks to the independent furrow-opening and furrow-closing movements. GASPARDO direct seed drills offer an extensive range of adjustments, to better adapt to soil conditions...

Always at the cutting edge CROP RESIDUE CUTTING The shoe cuts any crop residue so that it does not get in the way of seed growth. SEED FURROW CREATION AND SEED DROP The special shape of the coulter is responsible for creating the seed furrow and the seed is dropped in. FURROW CLOSING The seed press wheel has a truncated cone shape designed for excellent furrow closing, producing the right conditions to promote germination. Closing wheel pressure adjustment spring Closing wheel Seed press wheel arm operated independently Interchangeable wear-resistant cast iron shoe 5

The perfect seeding line THE RIGHT COULTER FOR EACH SITUATION The 6mm-thick coulter with a diameter of 475 mm easily slices through soil and aggressively cuts back crop residue. There are 2 different cutting profile options: A) Shallow notched disc: impressive cutting capacity, suitable for common direct drilling techniques, even on very wet ground. B) Plain disc: unbeatable residue cutting capacity, suitable both for very tough, dry soils, and for situations where forage is cut flush with the ground, where the surface is to remain clear. OPTIONAL EXTRA TOP VIEW OPTIONAL EXTRA FRONT VIEW ANGLES...

The right depth for each seed ACCURATE SEEDING DEPTH CONTROL The various tapered gauge wheels ensure the unit sits stably on the ground, and thanks to the considerable down pressure, deliver consistent seeding depth, even when encountering obstacles during forward travel. There are two solutions to choose from, depending on the type of soil, crop and operating condition in the field: ● Cast steel series: comprises 3 types of gauge wheels fastened to the disc coulter that can be swapped out quickly based on the farmer's needs. ● Farmflex wheel: soft rubber gauge wheel with quick seeding depth...

Features...worthy of a top-class machine EXCEPTIONAL IN-FIELD MANOEUVRABILITY AND STABILITY GASPARDO direct trailed seed drills have a pivoting drawbar connected to the tractor’s lift. This system allows for easy manoeuvring, even in the tightest spaces, thanks to the 2-way swivel joint. In addition, it means the front of the seed drill can be lifted. FROM 15 to 20 CM ROW SPACING GASPARDO direct seed drills have a row spacing from 15 to 20 cm. With the units laid out in two opposite rows, weight is perfectly balanced and the implement does not drift off to the side as it is pulled. Row spacing...

POST-SEEDING FINISHING The seed-covering harrow performs finishing, evening out the seeded surface. If you are dealing with crop residue, the harrow can be disengaged to avoid clogging. Bar tilt and down pressure are quick and easy to adjust. LIFTABLE ROAD WHEELS Wheels for road travel can be lifted out of the way hydraulically while working for improved down pressure and to avoid wheels running over the seed that has just been placed. This can be a useful feature when working in very wet conditions, making the seed drill easier to pull. NARROW ROW SPACING The minimum row spacing of 15 cm can...

Mechanical distribution ALL-ROUND QUALITY SEEDING GASPARDO mechanical distribution system ensures correct, even product metering along the full sowing width. GASPARDO series of metering rollers makes it possible to work with a wide range of seed types: from fine seeds like rapeseed, clover and grass, to larger diameters like cereals, soya, peas and field beans, without compromising seeding uniformity. DRIVE WHEEL Motion is transmitted to the seeding units by a toothed groundwheel that bites into the soil while the machine is working. This sets a kinematic chain in motion, driving the gearbox...

SIMPLE, FAST ADJUSTMENT The GASPARDO mechanical distribution system allows for accurate metering of different types of seeds. With the quick and versatile adjustment system, you can tailor the seed drill's setup to suit individual requirements. The manual that comes with the machine and the tables on the seed drill itself are provided to help you with the adjustment procedure. This makes it really quick and simple to adjust the system from one type of seed to the next, following the 4 steps below. DOSAGE ADJUSTMENT Seed dosage, proportional to the advance, takes place through the use of a 3-cam...
