2018 Pottinger Terrasem C9

The PTTINGER TERRASEM mulch drill concept has been engineered in detail from the drawbar to the rear harrow tines. A top quality compact disc harrow, an effective packer tyre chassis and optimised coulters, PTTINGER perfectly integrate seedbed preparation, consolidation and drilling across working widths of 3 to 9 metres.

The TERRASEM universal seed drill can be economically incorporated into any operating sequence, regardless of whether it is deployed for mulch or conventional drilling. These machines deliver precision seed placement thanks to their parallel-guided DUAL DISC coulters with rear depth control press wheels. This configuration ensures unique ground tracking capability and uniform seed placement depth.

Central coulter pressure adjustment between 40 and 120 kg per coulter, high-capacity seed hoppers and intelligent control systems also contribute to the success of the drilling process.

Using direct fertilisation on the TERRASEM FERTILIZER models enables micro and macro nutrients to be deposited at the same time as the seed. Optimum growth conditions are available during the early phases of germination to increase the plant development performance of the seed as a result. Fertiliser is applied on TERRASEM FERTILIZER mulch seed drills using DUAL DISC precision coulters.

The maintenance-free, rubber-mounted discs loosen and mix the soil. An ideally structured layer of fine soil is created at seed level.

The chassis with its wide 425/55 R17 tyres consolidates the area of 4 seed rows at a time ahead of the drilling coulters. The flexing characteristics of the tyres promote self-cleaning and improve the fine structure of the tilth. The machine is supported by all wheels at headlands when raised out of work. The chassis frame always remains in the same position; only the disc harrow and coulter rails are lifted.

The maintenance-free DUAL DISC coulters are mounted in an offset configuration; each pair of coulter discs is mounted on a separate parallelogram to form the seed slot. All coulters are guided by individual press wheels to ensure uniform seed placement depth.
