„This seed drill, equipped with large packer wheels, consolidates the soil well, and the offset wheel system is really well thought-out. It’s a seed drill that’s very well thought out for everything. That’s why we chose it and we don’t regret it at all..“

Join us in our series to meet BEDNAR OMEGA seed drill users who have bet on the quality of these versatile seed drills.

Seeding into a ploughed field
The OMEGA OO_L versatile seed drill can be also used for direct drilling into a ploughed field without any prior soil cultivation. The effective combination of the front levelling bar, the tyre packer and the PROFI coulter section creates and even seedbed. Quality surface levelling, perfect clod crumbling, precise seed placement and reverse consolidation in one pass!

Seeding into a partially prepared field
OMEGA OO_L is a suitable seed drill for establishing crops in no-till farming systems. The disc section equipped with specially shaped aggressive discs provides a perfect cutting and mixing effect; the specially shaped discs also improve soil penetration. The OMEGA OO_L seed drill can be thus easily used for establishing catch crops in a stubble field after the early crop, or seeding winter crops without any prior soil cultivation.

Seeding into catch crops
New agronomic trends demand new crop establishment methods. The OMEGA OO_L seed drill can be used for crops establishment, such as winter crops, in the catch crop stands. The front tyre packer rolls over the catch crop, the disc and coulter section cuts it, and the seeds are placed at the required depth thanks to the high down pressure on the drill coulters.

Grass over-seeding
The high versatility of the OMEGA OO_L seed drill makes it possible to use the machine for grass over-seeding during the year. We recommend performing this operation without using the front disc section, but using the TURBO coulters behind the disc working section that creates a groove in the line of the disc drill coulter and facilitates its penetration into soil. The grass vegetation remains undisturbed.
