2017 Maschio Gaspardo RENATA 8

TRAILED AND FORWARD FOLDING, VACUUM PRECISION PLANTER FOR NO-TILL OR MIN-TILL SOIL CONDITIONS (maize-soybean-sunflower)

Forget chains, lubrication and dust wear.

No fear while working on high residues, corn stalks cant damage it.

The PTO shaft drive guarantees an even seed plate rotation with no maintenance needed.

Maximum reliability with user friendly operation!

The smart double-lever selector makes possible to set seed population in just two moves! Thanks to its side position, user can select one from the 16 reduction ratios in the best comfort and absence of dust or grease.

Unit front mounted disc coulter cuts into hard soil in reduced till conditions. The wave profile creates extremely fine 7/8 thick wide slot suitable for wet, dry and spongy soils where it can be difficult to close the furrow.

The adjustable trash wheels clean the crop residues away. They prevent from uneven gauge wheels depth control and from trash burying on top of the row.

The double seed singulator action can be checked from the back inspection window and it can be very quickly and easily adjusted. Singulation is carried out on both sides of the seeding plate holes avoiding seed doubles regardless of inconsistency in shape and size. Singulator adjustment allows delivery with high accuracy even using different hybrids of seeds without seed plate replacement.

Our improved seed tube design keeps the precise accuracy that comes from the meetering unit all the way into the furrow. Its special design prevents seed from bouncing during the drop.

When seed falls into the narrow V shape furrow it stops immediately, maintaining an even spacing and a great seed to soil contact. Falling seed speed decreases from 10 to 0 km/h (6 to 0 mph) in less then 1/12 of second.

Our unique closing wheel bracket (named the Beaver Tail) is constructed of a solid cast steel solution giving you unsurpassed strength and durability. This helps to greatly reduce the chances of bending or twisting the closing wheel bracket while adding to the downforce of the closing wheels. This closing wheel assymbly also has a dual cam adjustment just in case you ever need to re-allign the bracket.

The scraper has a wear resistant Tungsten carbide profile for NON-STOP working.

The Tungsten carbide scraper makes it very easy to plant in heavy soil conditions.

Self-lubricating bushings release oil particles that lubricate the hinge points and are maintenance free.

The double row ball bearings are oversized and guarantee reliability in the most demanding working conditions including rocky soil. Long life is guaranteed by triple seal protection. The hub is dust proof which makes it ideal to work in wet conditions as well.
