Depending on the configuration, the Salford 525 disc pneumatic seeder is designed for both sowing using minimal technology with preliminary soil preparation, and for direct sowing into stubble using zero technology (No-Till).
SALFORD 500 disc coulter.
The basis of the seeder is
Salford double disc coulter, which perfectly copies field unevenness, accurately maintains the set embedding depth and ensures high productivity of the implement. The discs, offset relative to each other, easily penetrate the soil; the plastic compactor located between the discs evens out the seeds in the cracks and improves their contact with the soil.
On the frame with variable clearance there are two pairs of cross bars, which can be used either to place only disc coulters in a staggered pattern, or to install disc coulters in combination with additional active equipment - disc knives for cutting through crop residues and precise cultivation in front of the coulter.
Application of fertilizers during sowing.
The seeder is equipped with two types of pneumatic systems, which differ in the method of applying fertilizers during sowing:
- single-circuit system – fertilizers are supplied together with the seeds and incorporated through disc coulters;
- dual circuit system - fertilizers are supplied separately from the seeds and incorporated into the rows using additional disc coulters installed on the front pair of bars.
Air Commodity Carts
For the Salford 525 seeder we offer
hopper models with a capacity from 219 to 530 bushels. The dosing system is individual for each section of the hopper and consists of reel dosers equipped with a tedder and driven by a hopper wheel. The speed of the coils and, accordingly, the seeding rate is regulated using a Zero-Max continuously variable transmission, which is very easy to use and reliable in operation.
The Salford 525 pneumatic disc seeder adapts to various technologies without much expense, completely copies the terrain, retains accumulated moisture, and ensures precise placement of seeds and fertilizers. All these advantages guarantee uniform germination and uniform development of plants, which will certainly affect the increase in yield and grain quality.
