ELECTRONIC CONTROL

Electronic Control For OPICO Seeders

OPICO's Air 8 and Air 16 pasture tine harrows mounted with pneumatic seeders can now be operated by an electronic control box.

Unlike mechanically operated models, the control box uses a distance sensor and electric motor to distribute and vary seed rates.

This provides quick and easy calibration and seed rate to be adjusted on the move.

The control box records and displays forward speed, time taken and seed rate, together with seed used and workrates of a particular job.

A hard copy of this information can then be printed out using a PC printer - a facility which will appeal to contractors.
