Feed pad with rubber matting hailed as game changer
For Otago farmers Michelle and Rogan Borrie, a newly constructed feed pad on one of their three farms has been a game changer.
The single, compact series is unique and versatile. The indestructible overseeder is equipped with a single-row, double disc system, with a row spacing of 70mm. A compact construction layout makes the machine easy to lift and better suited to small tractors. Meanwhile, the 220mm roller makes the machine shorter and gives a high peak pressure for a perfectly smooth result.
Weight savings in construction means there is room for a 68% larger seed hopper, offering longer periods of work before a refill is required, with a new seed level indicator providing information to the driver at a glance.
The double disc system has been improved to guide the seed for even longer into the cut, with the 250mm diameter discs requiring less weight to make a perfect cut. In circumstances where penetration into the ground is difficult, additional weights can be added to improve penetration.
The Single Compact comes in four working widths of 100, 140, 180 or 220cm. All models are mounted on the three-point linkage.
