SimTech Aitchison products

Based on the renowned New Zealand pasture slot-seeder, here is a European drill built with the new demands of the modern farmer in mind. You can sow any seed into any surface. Clovers, grasses, brassicas, cereals, pulses, maize and all mixtures into grassland, stubbles, ploughed and/or cultivated land and direct into standing cover crops.

The simplest and most versatile drill on the market at an affordable price. Based on the renowned New Zealand pasture slot-seeder, here is a European drill built with the varied demands of the modern farmer in mind. You can sow any seed into any surface - clovers, grasses, brassicas, cereals, pulses, maize and all mixtures into grassland, stubbles, ploughed and/or cultivated land and direct into standing cover crops. A row of straight discs open the slot in advance of three rows of spring-tine mounted Aitchison boots. These prepare an upside-down T-slot, a perfect seedbed for both germination and root establishment. Behind the tines is a Springflex roller which passes between the rows and a chain harrow which crumbles and levels without over-firming the slot itself. The mechanical Aitchison seedbox with its unique sponge seed-metering system completes this simple answer to all your sowing needs.

The T-SEM trailed drills are our latest development aimed at large acreages farmers and those practising Controlled Traffic Farming. Trailed models have the same disc, tine & roller layout as with all the T-SEM models, but they also feature a full width front Pneuflex roller for depth control and extra ground firming when drilling cultivated soil. The front discs are hydraulically controlled to enable them to be lifted out of work quickly when turning corners or just adjusting their working depth. Tine row spacing is increased from 520 to 600mm to allow even greater trash clearance and the standard rear Springflex roller can be changed for other types of roller if required. The large rear mounted hopper is carried on 70cm wide Michelin MACH-BIB tyres that can be run as low as 6psi (0.5bar).
