The Aitchison Airpro 8140CE Air Seeder utilises the well proven Aitchison inverted “T” boot mounted on the same coil spring as the hugely successful Seedmatic seed drill. Designed to cut through residual plant matter ahead of the inverted “T” boot, the disc coulter undercarriage assembly is standard equipment on all Airpros. And with 40 rows spaced at 150mm gaps and a 400mm stagger of seeding rows gives this drill superior residual matter clearance.
The floating three-piece chassis design creates great contour following abilities unmatched by any other large drill on the market today. With a sowing width of 6.0 metres and a transport width of 2.9 metres this machine can be moved very easily.
Airpros are equipped with a proven European air distribution system for consistent and accurate seed placement. Independent hydraulic fan drives ensure the right air pressure for seed or fertiliser, and the European Accord-style dispensing system is simple and sowing rates can be set very accurately, ideal for small seeds.
The electronic drive system is easy to calibrate and the application rate can be altered on the move. The monitor shows area covered, kg/ha, load on the motors, ground speed, ha/hour, low bin level, fan RPM, seed rate range, alarms, downloadable job records.
