Seedmatic Professional 22 series tine drills

Model: ASM-8022CT, ASM-8122CT

These are the best tine drills on the market; they offer unparalleled ability to direct drill into trash.  Seedmatic Professional is designed for the heavy user or professional contractor and offers all the outstanding features of the Seedmatic range plus:

• 25mm horizontal mounted straight tine design with 3 coils offers superior trash shedding ability, increases vibration to create more tilth.
• Fitted with smaller, sharper Ni-hard inverted T seeding boot with tungsten tip giving excellent wear characteristics under a large range of soil conditions. They are less affected by tine deflection and are better able to penetrate harder soils.
• The stainless steel seed and fertiliser outlet tubes located directly behind the points are fully adjustable up or down and are reversible to enable placement of fertiliser according to preference.  Correct placement of fertiliser separated from the seed, minimises seed burn and maximises growth.
• Wider 550mm (22") stagger (i.e. distance between each row of tines) gives better ability to pass through trash without blockage.
• 136mm (5") row spacing to minimise seed competition and maximise new plant growth.
• 350mm (14") coulter discs are standard equipment. These are better able to function in heavy ground cover situations.
• Standard “on the move” hydraulic coulter engagement. If rocky, hard or soft soil conditions are encountered, discs can be reset from the tractor seat. The built-in pressure bypass ensures frame and disc safety.
• The rear mounted trailing system utilises heavy tyres and increased ground clearance. As the drill trails in the tractors wheel tracks, it reduces the likelihood of transport damage and allows trouble free towing along roads, farm tracks and over drains and culverts.
• As with all Aitchison drills they feature the unique sponge seed feed mechanism which is able to sow all seeds at rates from as low as 1kg and up to 350kg per hectare (0.9lb and up to 311lbs per acre) with a coefficient of variation of +/- 5%.  Simple to calibrate via a single lever and full tray calibration system.
• Unique roller fertiliser system handles all fertilisers including damp product. In addition it is able to sow seeds such as rye grasses down to 8kg/ha (7.1 lbs/acre).  For example, you could put clover through the seed box at a low rate and rye through the fertiliser box.  This all adds up to extreme versatility, whichever way you look at it.  The fertiliser distribution system uses exactly the same gearbox system as the Seedbox so it is infinitely variable.  The fertiliser box is stainless steel as standard.
• Optional small seeds/granule box with independent gearbox and sponge seed feed mechanism for low rate precision seeding, i.e. clover over rye grass or pesticides.
• Optional self loading chain harrow.  Excellent for covering seed slots with loose soil and leaves a cleaner finish.  As the transport wheels are lowered, the harrow is automatically raised clear of the ground and vice versa - great for headland work and those awkward areas.
• Optional but recommended hydraulic ram for drawbar to increase coulter clearance when in transport position.
