Aitchison GrassFarmer GF3014C & 3018C

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Aitchison GrassFarmer Drills are designed to enhance pasture management by facilitating the germination and root establishment of new seedlings while controlling existing sward growth. They are particularly effective for rotational 'stitching-in' of grasses and clovers and can also be used for complete pasture renovation.
Specifications: The GrassFarmer models are compact, lightweight, and require low horsepower. They feature a row of discs that slice open the sward, followed by Aitchison boots on staggered spring-tines. Optional features include a chain covering harrow, mechanical or electronic area meter, and road lights.
Technical Details:
  • GF2014C: Transport width 2.72m, drilling width 2.10m, 14 tines, 750kgs weight, 290lts hopper capacity, requires 50hp tractor.
  • GF2018C: Transport width 3.32m, drilling width 2.70m, 18 tines, 900kgs weight, 365lts hopper capacity, requires 65hp tractor.
Functionality: The Aitchison hopper with a sponge seed-metering system allows for the sowing of various grass and leguminous mixtures, as well as arable silage and game cover crops. Clovers can be sown at low seed rates to adjust pasture composition.
Innovation: Developed in New Zealand in the 1970s, the Aitchison slot-seeding system rejuvenates pasture-land without ploughing and minimizes chemical and fertilizer use. The inverted T-slot created by the Aitchison boot is contrasted with the V-slot made by conventional disc drills.
