Monopill Sowing Heart

• The seed disc is rotating through the second
  patented seed chamber
• The disc picks only one seed at a time,
  additional seeds are wiped off
• Due to the centrifugal force, the seed remains in
  the seed cell throughout its rotation
• With the seeding heart positioned deep inside the
  seeding coulter, the seed drop height is only 3cm

13
Monopill Sowing Heart

• The seed disc rotates counter clockwise (U), in
  opposite to the driving direction (F)
• With a seed distance down the row of 20cm, the
  circumference speed of the disc drive forward
  speed gt Zero deposit
• Standard seed spacing of 18 - 24cm with seed disc
  A4
• Up down movements of the parallelogram have no
  effect on the seed disc/spacing due to a
  specially designed chain guide

Monopill Press Wheels
Row setting Coulter intermediate press wheel
coverer conical press wheel

• V-shaped coulter opens the furrow
• The intermediate press wheel firms seed into the
  furrow
• The coverers put some more earth on the furrow
• The conical press wheel consolidate the earth at
  the side more than in the middle
• gt The amount of covering soil (B) is similar to
  that of the sowing depth (A)
• ? Ideal for wet and loamy soils

Monopill Press Wheels
Row setting Coulter coverer finger press
wheel

• V-shaped coulter opens the furrow
• The coverers put some more earth on the furrow
• The finger press wheel consolidate the earth in
  the middle more than at the sides
• gt The covering soil (B) is lower than the sowing
  depth (A).

? A "Micro climate" then protects the germinated
plant

Introduction tramlines in Sugar Beet

• Reasons for setting up tramlines
• Opportunity to save sugar beet seeds (cost of
  100.000 sugar beet seeds 150 )
• Ease follow-up operations e.g. fertilising and
  spraying with less crop damage
• Opportunity to drive over the sugar beet field
  without special cultivation tyres
• gt reduce handling costs
• Reduction of losses at the edge of rows gt
  uniform root size
• Possibility to reduce soil compaction and damage
  of the earth structure gt use of floatation tyres
  possible
• Reduce the danger of erosion in the tractor wheel
  tracks

23

Monopill e-drive II IsoMatch Tellus
The next generation universal ISOBUS Terminal
IsoMatch Tellus Two ISOBUS interfaces in one
terminal Multifunctional ergonomic design
ISOBUS Shortcut Button
The IsoMatch Tellus is the first ISOBUS with the
capability to operate different machines on 2
screens through 1 terminal, without the need to
constantly toggle between screens.
27
GEOcontroll - the automatically row switch-off,
steered by GPS

• Steered by GPS one row after another is switched
  off at the heads land
• Saving seeds
• No place in field with doubles or triples
• No missings ? no free spots for weeds in the
  field
• Easy handling for driver
• Full concentration of driver on field conditions
  and turning process

28
GEOseed - the intelligent way of precise placing
of seeds

• Seeding in parallel and diamond pattern

• The patented two-dimension placement control
  allows seeding in parallel or diamond patterns
• By adding a precise GPS signal (RTK) in
  combination the sowing heart extension
  synchronisation beyond machine width is ensured
  by GPS co-ordinates.
• Positive effects of GEOseed can be reached with
  close row sowing (37,5 45 cm) and seed
  distances wider than 18-20 cm
• Further information about the possibilities and
  necessary needs for GEOseed you find in GEOseed
  presenation!
