BEST SEED DRILL

In order to choose the best seed seeder for cereals did not become an intractable problem enough to fully study the market of seed technology and to throw a priori inappropriate options, then of the few remaining to do this without error will be much easier.


And there is simply no other way out, because the suggestions of models and modifications quite a lot. But it is important to know the details in order to confidently give preference.

Methods of Improving the Working Quality of the Seed Drill

Currently, most production issues are solved with the help of technology, much more productive, more accurate, more automated (to avoid the influence of the human factor) and certainly better. Β«TechniqueΒ» in this case means saturation of the aggregate with additional high-tech products, components, often with electronic and computer filling. This requires a more thorough knowledge of information technology, which is, like, far from grain, soil and sowing. But the development of the agricultural market, competition stimulate the development of these innovations, otherwise you can not only not win, but also lose everything.


In addition to the actual implementation of the decision - the purchase of a modern seed drill for cereals is necessary to follow another simple formality - to buy yourself an aggregate, after going somewhere in Europe - this is only at first glance a simplification of the issue. In fact, there is a risk of facing the same deception as in the spontaneous market - you may be given a not quite working unit, though with a whole color. This unit may not be certified in our country, but because it is purchased privately. then the design and repair can be an almost insoluble problem. Therefore, it is logical to improve the fleet of equipment in the best way, relying on the guarantees of official operators of the market of equipment. For example, one of such suppliers for more than ten years is the company Β«Grosber UkraineΒ». Its profile is original spare parts, products from manufacturers with guarantees, delivered in the shortest possible time and other reliable services. It is obvious that, relying on such a supplier of equipment, professes the same approaches in the business, you will greatly facilitate the entire process of purchase and win in the end in costs.

To increase your awareness of the features of the seeder park of famous manufacturers, the following section.

Description of the operating principles of popular seed drills for cereals

Almost 150 years ago, brothers Robert and Thomas Elworth of the United Kingdom opened a workshop in Kropivnick (then Elizabeth Grad) to assemble mechanical seeders made abroad, giving the company its name

Astra 6 Premium seed drill

Now they produce seed drill series Astra and Alfa, the width of which is between 3.6 - 6 m. However, when using couplings, this parameter significantly increases. The Astra seed drill series is composed of 6 modifications:

  • Astra 3,6V
  • Astra 3,6V-06
  • Astra 4
  • Astra 5,4T
  • Astra 6
  • Astra 5,4A

Among the features of these seeders, the use of traditional technology: sowing in prepared soil through coulter, which only slightly presses the seed material. In addition, coulters with offset discs are used for fields with plant residues.

And this is their main difference from the Alfa series seeders - the product of the company’s new development. which use coulters with strong clamping, which ensure the application of minimal tillage technology. In addition to coulters, seeding machines are installed coil type. made of polymers, which prolongs the life of their operation. The amount of seeding material feed (which can be both cereals and fat and fine seeds) is adjusted with the aid of three flap positions. In the reel itself, gradation for various seeds is made using its screw shape.


Alfa 6

The drive of the coils is carried out by a stepless gear transmitting movement from the driving wheels. The variator installed on the seed drills can adjust the quantity of the seed in accordance with the norms of planting: seeds - 0.7 - 400 kg/ha; fertilizers - 25 - 200 kg/ha.

The Astra 6 model, with a grip width of 6 m, has a capacity of 1,245 litres of seeds or 600 litres of fertilizer, which is sufficient to sow 6 hectares at a rate of 200 kg/ha of seed and 100 kg/ha of fertilizer.

There are in the equipment of seeders and electronics - Helios system, controlling the height, information on the amount of material transferred to the monitor in the tractor cab.

Among the advantages we can also note the coloring of the seed drill body, made Β«Ideal-lineΒ» (produced by Denmark), this paint is guaranteed for 8 years.

Challenger mechanical seeders produced by USA.


Challenger mechanical seed drills for grain materials have a very wide range in size from 2 m in one-section to 12 m in 3-piece. Seeder production is concentrated in Kansas, a Kansas state known for farming.

In the products 6 plastic coil machines for seeding are used, also from polymer materials, as in the case of seeders from Kropivnitsky. One lever is used to control the flow of seed through the sections. The two-frame unit is separate for the bunker and coulters. which makes it more durable. Another feature - universal coulter - ready for sowing traditional and with minimal tillage methods. An interesting solution in the form of Β«soothingΒ» plates and flexible fastening of rollers - they contribute to more efficient and high-quality work. Although all Challenger seed drills are 6 m wide, if the tractor is not suitable for hanging, then the company offers a trolley and converts the mounted seeder into a trailed one.

A few words about the seeders of a famous brand.


cataya model

Amazone’s mechanical seed drills are available in 4 variants: Cataya, D9, AD, and D9 6000 TC Combi, all of which are versatile in terms of crop varieties planted with inter-row distances of 12.5 or 16.6 cm. Features: The D9 model can use WS or RoTec Control.


The D9 6000 TC Combi seed drill is designed for small farms that do not have large areas. The capture width of this model is only 2.5 or 3 m.

For large-area farms, Amazone produces a D9 Super seed drill, with a 3.5, 3.5, 4 or 6 m width, with a special coupling, you can increase the working width to 9 and 12 m. Since these seeders are larger in size, the manufacturer has strengthened their frame. The seed flow is regulated by means of a Vario gearbox with a smooth operation mode, with a very wide range at the seed rate - from a minimum of 1.5 kg/ha to a maximum of 400 kg/ha.

The AD seed drills are also mounted, designed to work with rotary tillers, rotary cultivators or rubber-wedge rollers. Seeders can have a width of 2.5, 3, 3.5 or 4 m. The seeding dosing system adjusts it in the range from 1.5 to 400 kg/ha. The adjustment is done with a stepless gear.

Best seed drill rating

After describing the seed drills of the two companies, it will be useful to learn more about other manufacturers of seed drills in order to get a full overview.

Criteria such as the quality of their main function, technical reliability, versatility of use were applied for rating of mechanisms. adaptation to our local conditions, the level of organization of maintenance and the ratio of price and quality.

The number of purchases of products of this brand was also considered. According to this indicator in the leaders John Deere, Great Plains and KINZE. The most popular model is the JD 1890 973BH John Deere. It is followed by the NTA 3510 Great Plains, and then the 3S4000HDF of the same Great Plains.

In the course of the ranking, the main trends of the seeder market were also established. First of all, by the number of acquisitions the undisputed leader Kropivnitskaya firm Β«Chervona ZirkaΒ». In addition, among the advanced products of the company Β«Agro-UnionΒ» from the Dnieper and Kiev factory Β«TodakΒ», all these manufacturers have established successful cooperation with foreign companies and have good recommendations in the world market.

The next trend is the demand for resource-saving equipment.

And the third trend was an increase in demand for non-imported machinery. This is caused by the rise in the overall price. Among the b/y mechanisms predominate not very old - at Β«ageΒ» from 5 to 10 years. These changes in pricing policy led to the introduction of SHANDONG (2BXF) seed drills among American, German, Swedish, French and Chinese-origin precision seed drills and drills.

However, there has been an increase in purchases of broad-based aggregates, which may indicate an upward trend in farm size.

According to practitioners, farmers for them in the selection of the seed drill was and remains the main criterion of its reliability. They then look at the quality of the seed provided by the unit, and third look at the correlation between price and quality. Only in small farms was the first question price. As a result, after a thorough survey of all participants in this market segment, foreign brands were arranged in the following order:

1st place for John Deere; 2nd place for Great Plains; 3rd for Kinze; 4th for Bourgault; 5th for Monosem; 6th for Amazone; 7th for Massey Ferguson; 8th for Kuhn; 9th for Vaderstad and 10th for Horsch.

The truth is this opinion of representatives of large agricultural holdings. If you take into account the opinion of small and medium-sized agricultural firms, then the leader among all will still be the domestic Β«Chervona ZirkaΒ». Available on the market and seeders developed abroad and manufactured domestically.

Instead of bonus - about the most striking novelties among seed drills

These novelties can not fail to interest. We are talking about the proprietary pneumatic seeders of Mascar company from Italy - it disc Maxi-5 and anchor Futura.



They have several useful advantages: high performance, excellent reliability and reduced maintenance costs.

The rest is bigger.

New Maschio Gaspardo MTR & Twin seed drills in two rows with an interval of 25 cm instead of the usual row of 70 cm.


In this way, the rate of sowing is increased. and as a result - improved nutrition and increased yield.

The same company presented the pneumatic seed drill Maschio Gaspardo Julia 24F70 with 24 MTR sections. The drill has one of two types of drive for sections: electric or mechanical.


In the Maschio Gaspardo Corona 600 seed drill, innovations have been made especially in the X-Force seeding section and the bunker - it is now double-chamber: for seeds and fertilizers.


The list of seeders presented here is not yet complete. as a full would take much more space and your time. Therefore, the dissemination of information should also be brought.
