Pentasem - Tines Seed Drill

The Chassis

• Solid, mechanically welded frame made from 100 × 8 mm tube front and rear and cross-member in flat 100×10 tube
• 3-point coupling between No. 3 yoke Pin No. 3/2 compatible with high power tractors
• 50 × 15 steel tine holder bar and centre distance 350 mm between bars. Tine flange, thickness 8 mm
• Hydraulic folding to 3 metres by 2 double effect cylinders, with hydraulic and mechanical safety
• Hydraulic furrow openers with discs for horizontal folding and hydraulic safety locking
• Adjustment of the seed depth by fixed pneumatic depth control wheels, Ø 584 × 236 on central part
• Oscillation system on the extensions to match the ground contour

 
The Hopper

• Centralised hopper, mounted on 4 damper studs, with a capacity of 1,700 l on all models (over 1,200 kg load capacity).
• Distribution head ideally located outside the seed drill
• Covered wide opening with high-speed opening and closing system for easy filling and cleaning
• Powerful blower with extra-wide turbine (6 inches), providing an ultra-high volume of air.
• Hydraulically-driven turbine for comfortable manoeuvre management
• Filling height to 2.50 m with 4-step footrest and guardrail
• Easy to access and ergonomically designed with quick flow test without any need for dismantling:
• Quick and complete emptying of the hopper
• Filtering sleeve

The distribution

• Centralised flow through grooves piloted by on-board radar, giving increased accuracy
• Universal dispenser: for drilling every seed without changing the groove!
• The new universal dispenser offers record performance: unrivalled dosing range, from 1 kg/ha (little seeds) up to 450 kg/ha (large seeds) at 8 km/h and up to 330 kg/ha (wheat) at 12 km/h
• Easier flow rate adjustment and manoeuvres with the electrically-driven dispenser and «intelligent» in-cab console
• Active turbulence design: «excellent» distribution accuracy between rows
• The ADS system`s long, corrugated supply column guarantees a perfect, consistent mixture of air and seeds; the internal section of the head features a unique architecture, with no rebound areas, ensuring that the seeds flow smoothly and quickly.
• Reliable anti-clogging design guaranteed to work under all conditions, even on slopes and banking
• Easy row marking and row closing system (every other row, 2 out of 3 rows, etc.) with individual valves integrated into the distribution head. These valves even make it possible to change the row marker track if necessary.
• As well as the standard functions, the console also offers the following features:
• Half-drill shut off from the cab with proportional flow rate reduction
• Function «end of fields» for clear pound : elimination of lacks at the beginning of the run (automatic) or in case of  stopped departure (manual)
• During row marking runs, automatic reduction of the drilling flow rate (saving seed), in proportion to the number of rows marked
• Fully simplified flow test (a single test without no crank handle; 10 kg load cell supplied; automatic adjustment of dosage/ha after recorded weight entered in the console)
• Emptying of the dispenser by activation electric motor starter button located at the rear of the hopper.

 Safety :

• Extension with driven double cylinder to avoid falls
• Hydraulic markers with discs for horizontal folding and hydraulic safety locking
• 4-step footrest + platform with guardrail
• Width 3 m for transport for greater ease of transport
• Standard lighting and signalling

Durability :

• Solid frame, entirely mechanically welded front and rear beams 100 × 8
• Steel tine holder bars 50 × 15 and tine flange thickness 8 mm
• Hopper mounted on 4 damper studs, avoiding stresses on the hopper
• 3-point anti-rotation pin Nos. 2/3 on steel plate, thickness 20 mm
• Anti-rotation coupling pin on steel  plate, thickness 15 mm

Efficiency :

• Seed laying with 5 rows of straight tines, 45 × 12 with broad caster for specific seeds, clearance under frame: 430 mm, exceptional clearance in presence of plant debris
• Motorised drive for distribution proportional to advance by radar
• Seed depth controlled by pneumatic wheels
• Accuracy of seed distribution using on-board radar
• Oscillation lighting of extensions to adapt to variations in the terrain
• 3-point sensor for automatic shut-off of the distribution

Comfort :

• Pipes and distribution head on the outside of the hopper for easy cleaning and free access to the distribution head
• Wide hopper opening, with cover with high speed winding for easy loading from bags, in bulk or in big bags
• Adjustment of the depth control wheels by screw handle
• Equipment adjustment by screw handle, with position rule
• Bag for flow tests and scales supplied.

 
Quality :

• Contrôle à chaque étape de la production
• Peinture de finition polyuréthane sur apprêt époxy
• Traitement de surface avant peinture par conversion
• Contrôle final avant expédition, consultable sur demande

Environment :

• Limits fuel consumption and soil compacting by limiting the number of passes for sowing
• Slight facilitation of penetration of water on the surface
• Preserves the organic composition of the soil by simplified surface working
