The SP seeding unit Maximum seeding distance precision A uniform, finely-worked seed bed enables the SP unit to create the perfect environment for crop germination, optimising the nutrients and water in the soil and reducing the time it takes for seedlings to emerge. No maintenance Self-lubricating bushings on the parallelogram plough pins. Adaptation contours The parallelogram linkage arm ensures that the unit remains vertical during travel, following the contours of the ground as closely as possible. Pressure on the ground The adjustable load spring can be used to increase the pressure exerted...

The SP unit is remarkably light, combining a simple structure with incredible seeding precision, courtesy of the reduced seed fall height from the distributor (just 140 mm). Each and every technical solution is practical and intuitive to use, making the operator's job easier and facilitating maintenance operations, as well as guaranteeing a better end result. The SP range consists of a selection of seed drills that are specifically designed to meet the needs of farmers who want to achieve maximum possible yield from expertly-machined terrain. Autonomy in the field 34 litre hopper, easy access,...

Precision and experience Precision to the millimetre The precision seed drills in the SP range boast a distribution system that is both extremely reliable and easy to adjust, for quality seeding every time. Pneumatic system The downward pressure generated by the turbine promotes seed adhesion on the seeding disk, for optimal distribution to the descent pipe regardless of irregularities in seed shape and size. The PTO transmission delivers 540 rpm as standard. Selection device The seed selection process is controlled by a dual selector system. The preselector enables an initial selection to be...

Adjsutments for distribution operations Adjustment of seeding distance The system for adjusting the seeding distance consists of a mechanical pinion gearbox protected by a cover, and a further gearbox that is integrated into the transmission wheel unit. More than 200 seeding distances available! A total of 42 transmission ratios are available, and when combined with the wide range of seeding discs, this feature provides operators with more than 200 potential seeding distances to choose from, ranging from 2.9 to 43.8 cm. Custom set-ups enable even greater seeding distances to be selected, up to...

Versions and features Maximum versatility There are 3 different variants of the SP unit, enabling this solution to be adapted to all soil and crop types. The configuration of the unit can be chosen when purchasing the machine or changed at a later date using the conversion kits designed for this purpose. Standard version for maize Base version of the SP seed drill: the front clod deflector facilitates the action of the coulter boot. With the right seeding disc, this version is ideal for all crop types (from maize and sorghum to soy, cotton, sunflowers, beans, tomatoes and more) on well-worked...

Seed furrow closure A perfectly closed seed furrow promotes uniform germination The job of the furrow closure assembly is to finish the seeding row after the combination seed harrow has opened the furrows, covering the seed with a fine layer of soil. The pressure exerted on the soil serves to compact it, promoting soil-seed contact and creating the perfect environment for germination, encouraging rapid, efficient crop growth. Farmflex wheel The Farmflex press wheel (Ø 370 mm) compacts the soil over the seed furrow. It is the universal tool for sandy or finely-worked terrain - the optimal soil...

Custom options Accessories for the seed selector Seeding discs Cover for small seeds Sugar beet seed ejector For the perfect seed distribution speed, in line with crop type and seed density. This cover promotes the adhesion of smaller seeds to the disc, as well as preventing seeds from escaping (for use with rapeseed, tomato and salad crops). This device facilitates the release of pelleted or treated seeds that can stick to the disc. 540 and 1000 rpm hydraulic depressor operation Pulley kit and 750 or 1000 rpm depressor belt Ideal for combined seeding operations. Can be adapted for use with all...

An extensive range of accessories to meet any need Transmission accessories Double transmission Particularly useful when increased ground hold is required. These protect the transmission wheels when working on rocky terrain. 6.50 or 7.50 transmission wheels For improved the grip on soft ground and a more fluid transmission. Track eradicator Ridge seeding Integrated trailer The track eradicator breaks up compacted terrain, removing the wheel ruts left by the tractor. This system enables ridge seeding on raised ground, for more efficient surface irrigation. For easy transportation of larger fixed...

MINIMAX fertiliser The ideal fertilisation system Distributing fertiliser alongside the seed furrow reduces waste and improves efficiency. With GASPARDO, operators can customise their chosen fertiliser, selecting hoppers of different capacities in various materials - stainless steel, plastic or sheet metal - and combining these with the most appropriate positioning system for the type of terrain that they will be working. Uniform descent Centralised distributor adjustment: fast, precise and comfortable. The flow deflector prevents the fertiliser from becoming compacted, enabling it to fall onto...
