Falcon PRO: Preprocessing coulter section for full-surface soil tillage

1 Basic soil leveling zone. Accuracy 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 10". Soil pre-processing ensures aeration, leveling and optimum cultivation. There is also optimal uniformly dispersing 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 2.25"─9.75" 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 leveling and final uniformly dispersing of  crop residues before seed placement. The harrow effectively levels the soil surface and cleans the row space of crop residues.
6 Seedbed formation and seed placement zone. The double disk seeding coulters effectively create a compacted seedbed (V-groove) and accuracy 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 leveling zone. The integrated harrow ensures excellent seed coverage and accuracy soil surface leveling.

Fully electronic control and checking of seed drill functions

  • a clear terminal communicating via ISObus network with the tractor and the machine
  • dozens of control sensors on the whole seed drill
  • electrically driven dosing device with fully automatic seeding control according to the current working speed
