New Vogel&Noot MasterDrill Pro professional seed drills

The MasterDrill Pro seed drill is designed as a 3-point mounted implement that can be combined with all Vogel&Noot rotary harrows or those of competing brands.
The many adjustment options, which ensure an optimal position of the seeding bar, are said to contribute to this ease of use.

The MasterDrill Pro is available from July 2011 as a 3-point mounted version for models A 300, A 400 and A 450, i.e. in working widths of 3,00 / 4,00 or 4,50 meters.

Advantages of the new MasterDrill Pro according to Vogel&Noot:

- Compact construction minimizing the required lifting power. The new hopper geometry shifts the weight forward

- New large-capacity hopper of 1400 liters. The considerable hopper width, approximately 2 meters, is said to allow trouble-free filling with a front loader

- Water- and dust-proof hopper lid, stable frame design with a very wide opening angle for filling BigBags

- A new holder for the seeding units and a new coulter pressure adjustment are said to guarantee perfect seed placement and provide very high stability

- Stainless steel double-disc coulters of particularly compact design offering generous clearance and wide passages between rows

- Numerous standard features meeting high requirements: hydraulic fan drive (also LoadSensing-compatible if needed), electronic section shut-off and complete control of the seed drill via the Müller Drillmat terminal, an optimized step with integrated handrail and a stable tine harrow with multiple adjustments.

The seed drill is also fitted as standard with a hydraulic lift for the seeding bar, which provides greater clearance under the coulters and makes it easier to temporarily use the tillage implement without the seeding function

Worth noting about the new MasterDrillpro:

- Simple mounting and dismounting of the seed drill on the tillage implement thanks to the coupling triangle and its parking stands

- The metering units are driven by the sun wheel, which is equipped with a freewheel clutch. Damage to the metering unit in the event of accidental reverse rotation (for example on headlands due to insufficient lifting height) is thus avoided

- The sun wheel is located within the working width of the implement. It therefore always runs on worked soil. It thus drives the metering unit precisely and evenly, ensuring accurate seed rates and optimal seeding uniformity

The MasterDrillpro, particularly in combination with Arterra MS or Arterra Grip rotary harrows, is a very robust and versatile seeding combination.

Seedbed preparation and seeding can thus be carried out in a single pass, even in difficult conditions.
