Primavera Seed Drill

Transmisson

As with any drill one of the most important aspects is seed rate consistency and control. The metering is land wheel driven on the standard Primavera and (A) a triple cam stepless gearbox is used to transmit drive to the seed rollers. (D) A simple slide and marker make it easy for the operator to set and adjust the seedrate. (B,C) Reliability of the gearbox is ensured as the cams and bearings inside are submerged in oil preventing wear.

Easy Calibration

The seedrate is controlled by a triple cam stepless gearbox which ensures the seed metering shaft turns consistently at the designated speed.   

The metering unit is easy to access, which makes calibration a simple task.

Large Hopper

The Primavera boasts a large hopper capacity 1500L as standard with an optional 200L extension for the 6m taking the maximum hopper size to 1700L in total.

Balanced Weight

When looking at the design and structure on the Primavera Seed Drill there is clearly more than meets the eye.

Maschio’s drill design department have optimised the ratio between the weight and structural integrity, making the Primavera an extremely strong drill.

The centre of gravity is very close to the tractor in order to reduce stress on the rear linkage, this also makes the Primavera suitable for medium sized tractors from 120hp and improves fuel consumption.

Loading Platform

The loading platform comes as standard, the platform has full safety handrails reachable from the first step to the top of the platform to allow easy and safe access to the hopper.

High Work Rates

At 4m, 5m or 6m working widths and travelling at speeds of 12 – 16kph the PRIMAVERA Seed Drill is more than capable of producing impressive work rates per day.

Designed and patented by Maschio the FLEXEED seed metering unit is as flexible as any metering unit can be, with up to 7 metering roller options suitable for every kind of seed and seed rate. The unit can distribute a large variety of seed sizes with ease, and is capable of achieving very high seedrates.

Construction

The metering unit is constructed from cast aluminium, stainless steel and polyethylene components to prevent rust and corrosion.

Metering Rollers

Whether seeding OSR or Beans, the FLEXEED metering system will have a roller to suit your seed type. No one seed roller can give you precise accuracy at low seedrates and at the same time meter high seedrates so it is important to choose the correct roller for your application.

The accuracy is down to the size of flutes on the metering roller, large flutes are good at metering at high seedrates but cannot get down to low seedrates, the answer is to have multiple metering rollers and the Primavera has three as standard:

G1000 (up to 400kg/Ha)	N500 (up to 200kg/Ha)	F25-125 (for small seed)

	Dosing roller G1000 for large quantities of seed (up to 400kg/Ha) (Standard)
	Dosing roller N500 for medium quantities (up to 200kg/Ha) (Standard)
	Dosing roller F25-125 with small flutes for low rates, especially for small seed types, with the option of disengaging segments. (Standard)
	Dosing roller N250 is recommended for low-medium quantities (from 80-100kg/Ha) particularly on drills used in combination (whose operation speed is fairly slow) (Optional)
	Dosing roller G1000 R26.5 for large seeds (PA2) (Optional)
	Dosing roller G1000 R26.5 specific for large seeds (Optional)
	Dosing roller for fertlizer G1002 (Optional)

Seed Flutes

The fluted segments are all in a helical, staggered pattern for even distribution, this ensures all seed leaving the metering roller does so evenly without pulsing.

Seed Feelers

Spring loaded feeler clips enhance seedrate precision by controlling the amount of seed in each flute, the feeler clips also prevent damage to delicate or fleshy seed types.

Cleaning Clips

To prevent oily seeds from getting stuck in the fluted segments the FLEXEED unit has a row of stainless steel cleaning clips that makes sure all seed is discharged from the metering roller ensuring consistent, reliable accuracy.

Disengaging Segments

The F25-125 metering roller segments can be disengaged to lower the seedrate further. Within each metering segment there are four pegs that keep each segment moving when the main shaft is turning, simply undo the hand screw on one side of the roller and remove and turn round the desired number of segments, one flute on each segment contains a small clip that will allow the cleaning clip to hold and stop the entire segment from turning as the pegs no longer engage once the segment has been turned around.

Inlet Shut-Off Sliding Plate

A sliding plate enables the operator to completely shut-off all seed to the metering unit, allowing maintenance or metering roller changes whilst the hopper is still full.

Easy Un-Loading

Un-loading couldn’t be easier, simply close off the hopper using the “shut-off sliding plate” un-lock and open the access panel to the metering unit and remove the metering roller, then you can control the speed of the seed flow by moving the “shut-off sliding plate”.

Agitator Disengagement

The agitator can easily be disengaged, when seeding with delicate or fleshly seed types.
