Technical information
Spirit 600-900S
The pneumatic seed drill Spirit 600-900S is available in 6, 8 or 9 metre working widths. It is a universal seed drill for high capacity drilling in conventional and minimum tillage. Spirit 600-900S is equipped with innovative solutions that increases the precision and simplifies the operations at the farm.
Seed metering with high precision
Spirit 600-900S is equipped with the high precision metering system Fenix II that provides a constant and reliable seed metering. The strong motor permits high seed rates at high speed. Additionally, the integrated fan runs at low speed, resulting in minimised fuel consumption and quiet operation. Its high location reduces the dust intake, thereby increasing drilling accuracy.
Large hopper with great access
To minimise downtime in the field, Spirit has a high capacity 3900 litre seed hopper. The hopper is very easy to fill due to its large opening with a roll-up cover operated from the ground. With two platforms and an open machine design, you benefit from good access to all components throughout the machine.
Active coulter pressure
To ensure an even seed depth also in hilly terrain and at varying soil types, Spirit 600-900S is equipped with an active seed coulter pressure. Sensors in the hydraulic system immediately registers if Spirit is located on a crest or a trough. If so, automatic valves directly compensates for an increased or decreased pressure. Thereby the seed coulter pressure is kept at a constant pre-set value, irrespective of which working angle the seed coulters are in, relative to the rest of the machine. The result is an impressive seed placement and an even emergence over the entire field.Product concept
Zone 1 - Seedbed preparation
Depending on the front tools, Spirit can be adapted to varying conditions. The working depth and intensity of the front tools can be easily adjusted from the tractor cab. The combi models, has fertiliser placement together with the front tool.
Zone 2 - Consolidation
To ensure a firm seedbed prior to seed placement, large packer wheels consolidates the soil between the front tool and seed coulters. This offers great advantages in lighter soil, as well as in fields where the soil is loose as an effect of a deep cultivation or a cultivation with insufficient reconsolidation.
Zone 3 - Seed placement
Spirit has 380mm large discs for high speed accuracy. The OffSet discs move the soil to the side and place the seed in the bottom of the seed furrow. The soil falls back behind the discs and covers the seed with fine soil. The seed coulter pressure is up to 80kg to ensure a good penetration. The unique TriForce rubber suspension gives a supreme ability to follow ground contour.
Zone 4 - Reconsolidation
Each individual seed coulter has a wide coulter press wheel. This allows the seed coulters to respond to any irregularities or soil variations on the field, thereby ensuring the working depth is constantly maintained. The generous diameter of the coulter press wheel, further results in a smooth ride with minimal impacts from vibrations, thereby increasing precision at high speed.
Zone 5 - Finishing
The following harrow is positioned to run in-between the seed rows, so there is no risk of disturbing shallow-drilled seeds.The following harrow creates a loose evaporation barrier to preserve moisture and prevents capping after heavy rain.
