Farmet - Model Falcon PRO -Modular Seed Drill

1. Basic soil levelling zone. Precisely levelled soil surface allows uniform subsequent compaction and cultivation a seedbed.
2. Soil pre-processing zone. The pre-processing of the soil can be made with various working tools, either over the entire sowing depth or in zones up to 25 cm. Soil pre-processing ensures aeration, levelling and optimum cultivation. There is also optimal spreading of  crop residues.
3. Fertilizer placement zone. Granular fertilizers are placed in the root zone of future plants, either directly below each row or between two rows. Depth of fertilizer can be 6–25 cm depending on used section.
4. Zone of soil compaction and restoration of deep capillarity. Deep compaction ensures effective soil water capillarity rise to the soil surface even in dry conditions.
5. Zone of soil levelling and final spreading of plant residues before seed placement. The harrow effectively levels the soil surface and cleans the row space of plant residues.
6. Seedbed formation and seed placement zone. The double disc seeding coulters effectively create a compacted seedbed (V-groove) and precisely deposit the seed to the required depth. Thanks to the high down-pressure, up to 70% of the weight of the machine can be transferred to the seeding coulters. The compacted seedbed and V-groove ensure excellent seed contact with soil and soil water.
7. The side seed press zone. The copy wheel compresses the V- groove with the seed, causing the seed to squeeze sideways to the soil. There is loosened space above the seed for easy emergence of plants.
8. Seed cover and soil levelling zone. The integrated harrow ensures excellent seed coverage and precise soil surface levelling.

Fully electronic control and checking of seed drill functions

Fully automatic switching of every single coulter according to GPS position

• prevents over-sowing, reduce consumption of expensive seed up to 15 %
• use TC (task controller) of a tractor with which it communicates via ISObus network
• after loading the shape of the land into the system a virtual headland is created
• the sown area is pictured on the tractor terminal
