New drill range combines high capacity with seeding precision

Väderstad recently launched the Inspire 1200 drill, which is focused on bringing excellent seeding results to the 12m seed drill segment.

The 12m wide pneumatic seed drill o ers a high-capacity output at a low draught force requirement. Its adaptive double disc seed coulters system, paired with the Fenix III metering system, results in even emergence and strong crop growth, Väderstad reckons.

Inspire 1200 is available in two di erent models – Inspire 1200S and Inspire 1200C. The seed-only version Inspire 1200S is equipped with a 5,000-litre hopper for seeds. The combi version Inspire 1200C has a 7,200-litre hopper holding both seed and fertiliser in two separate compartments, which is later mixed into the same airstream and placed together into the soil.

High drilling output is achieved with eight separate sections, which allows Inspire to operate with variable rate and sectional control down to 1.5m sections. Constant and even product ow from the hopper to the seed coulters is achieved via eight Fenix III metering units.

The heart of Inspire is its responsive double disc seed coulter system. To provide an aggressive working angle but with maximum penetration force, the seed discs are mounted in an O Set position. This has an excellent ability to adapt to any irregularities on the eld, thereby always keeping the seeding depth constant.

Inspire 1200C/S is equipped with the iPad-based control system Väderstad E-Control, which wirelessly connects to the Väderstad machine, enabling full access to its functions and data. You bene t from user-friendly remote setup and calibration, as well as real-time monitoring and control. FG

Direct seed drill “ideal for smaller farms and tractors”

British manufacturer Moore Unidrill relaunched the 2.5m Moore Unidrill at LAMMA 23. This means the ever-popular Moore Unidrills are now available with either 2.5, 3.0 or 3.5m working widths. Moore Unidrill has a long history in the direct drilling market and its current product range is particularly suited for farms looking to move less soil and practice more regenerative farming.

The Moore Unidrill is a universal machine, with its most common use being for reseeding grassland; however, it is also being used for sowing turnips, fodder beet, wheat and barley, to name a few. This makes it an ideal seed drill for small- to medium-sized farms looking for a machine that can sow a variety of crops, the manufacturer reckons.

Contractors also like the Moore Unidrill due the fact that it is built around a strong, fully-welded rigid chassis, with fewer moving parts compared to the older models or many of the other direct drills
