Model GD -Mounted Drill
The GD drill is the outcome of continuous refinement and development, to create a simple yet precise seed drill. It features the patented and future proofed GD coulter, which provides remarkably low soil disturbance, has a very low draught requirement along with an excellent service life. The GD drill excels in its adaptability to satisfy most drilling systems, soil types and conditions. This provides users with the flexibility to approach zero-till alongside traditional crop establishment methods. The mounted GD Drill is a flexible and manoeuvrable direct drill suitable for all farm sizes. A slim line 2,000 Litre hopper (3,400 litres on the Grain & Fertiliser model) provides operators with ample capacity. Fitted with an easily accessible volumetric metering unit accompanied by RDS Artemis Lite controls, calibration is fast and simple.

2,000-litre plastic hopper, RDS Artemis Lite Controls with GPS forward speed monitoring, hydraulic fan, a 2-row coulter bar with a row spacing of 166mm, stone guards, stainless steel scrapers, work, tank & road lights, and a tank sieve.
GD4001M
2,000-litre plastic hopper, colour touch screen RDS iSOCAN controls with GPS forward speed monitoring, hydraulic fan, a 2-row coulter bar with a row spacing of 166mm, stone guards, stainless steel scrapers, work, tank & road lights, and a tank sieve.
GD3001M G&F
3,400-litre 50/50 split hopper, colour touch screen RDS iSOCAN controls with GPS forward speed monitoring, hydraulic fan, a 2-row coulter bar with a row spacing of 166mm, stone guards, stainless steel scrapers, work, tank & road lights, and a tank sieve.
The GD coulter is able to accurately place a wide variety of seed types and sizes whilst maintaining a consistent depth. Seed is delivered between the two discs of the coulter directly to the bottom of the soil opening. The disc coulter units of the GD Drill are independently mounted and hydraulically pressurised, allowing each coulter to maintain consistent contact with the ground. Contours, obstacles and undulations are no challenge for accurate seed placement. A rubber exhaust boot at the top of the coulter diffuses 50% of the air allowing controlled seed delivery to the soil and preventing seed bounce.
The GD coulter offers superior soil disturbance control compared to other no-till drills on the market. The coulter eliminates the opportunity for fresh soil to be brought to the surface whilst the surface layer is left intact and therefore prevents fresh and dormant weed seeds from germinating. The leading outer disc cuts through the soil whilst the smaller inner disc undermines the soil structure creating an opening for the seed to be placed, before swiftly being firmed back to its original state.
The Accord metering unit is equipped with RDS Artemis Lite controls. This guarantees a repeatable metering dose up to 400 kg/ha. Suitable for fine and coarse grains, with no need to replace the metering rollers. On the move seed rate adjustment from the comfort of the tractor cab. Functions include GPS forward speed monitoring, symmetric and asymmetric tramline control, area totals, fan tachometer and low seed level alarm.
The GD Drill is fitted with a hydraulic fan drive. This reduces the RPM on the tractor, which in turn reduces fuel costs, gives more flexibility with air flow, and helps prevent wear and tear.
For the GD3001M there is a choice between a single tank grain only model and a split tank Grain & Fertiliser model. Both models are equipped with the same standard features, but the twin tank of the Grain & Fertiliser model has a 3,400 litre total capacity, with a 50/50 split. The mounted Grain & Fertiliser models uses RDS iSOCAN controls with GPS forward speed monitoring, each individual metering unit can offer variable rate application on the move. Individual metering units supply different products to the coulter where they are mixed in the seed tube as it enters the ground.
Our GD drill can now be offered in a front tank and rear toolbar combination. Available in both grain only and grain & fertiliser specification, the front tank offers a versatile seeding option and improves weight distribution. A front tank setup offers the flexibility of using both a disc or tine toolbar depending on conditions.
