Technical highlights
NEW: Double disc coulters 'Dual-Disc'
| |
The large DUALDISC coulters cut right through surface trash to form tidy uniform rows. Harvest residues are not pressed into the ground.
- Disc coulter diameter 350 mm
- Pressure roll diameter 330 mm
- Coulter spacing 250 mm for greater clearance and trouble-free
material flow, even with heavy organic matter
- Row spacing 12.5 cm for the best plant distribution
- Maintenance-free coulter system
- Coulter pressure up to 50 kg
- Same length coulter arms – constant coulter pressure system
- Central coulter pressure adjustment
- Central depth adjustment – easily accessible
World-class technology for future-safe arable farming.

Perfect sowing system
| |
The optimised shape of the metering peg
ensures the highest level of seed protection.
Drilling rapeseed with low seed counts
per square meter is carried out with optimal
plant populations.
 metering wheel |
- 3-row multi-function metering wheel with
separate fine-grain wheel
- 2-slider solution for rapid change between normal
and fine seed
- Continuously-variable oil-submerged transmission
with input gearbox to reduce speed
during calibration
|
 Outlets |
- Wide, funnel-shaped outlets above each metering
wheel
- Precise feed down to the last grain – ideal performance
even with low quantities
- Lowest residues
- Seed does not slide across – excellent performance
on slopes
- No partition plate required for rapeseed
|
Funnelled outlets provide for minimal
residual amounts and low minimum-fi ll
amounts. A suffi cient opening angle in the
bottom fl ap ensures that the metering area
is completely emptied.

Unique sowing technique on mechanical
drills
„Overhead sowing“: For sowing fi ne grain
the direction of rotation of the sowing shaft
is changed (easy adjustment on side drive).
Small hollows on the rear of the sowing
wheel pegs take only one grain and drop
it overhead into the seed funnel. Principle:
sowing individual grains.
|
Trailed tines
| |
"Perfect" and "Standard" tines have same mounting system
"Perfect" tines single row: alternate short and long V-tines– angle can be adjusted
"Standard" tines single row: straight tines – angle can be adjusted
- Each tine (10 mm) has its own spiral spring – ideal ground hugging
- Simply, standardised mounting – easy-to-use setting functions (angle, depth, pressure)
- Reversing protection
- Telescopic outer tines
- No additional adapter required if pressure rollers are fitted
- Shocks absorbed by maintenance-free rubber clamp mountings
|
|
|
Coulter types
| |
- Concave single coulter disc: 320 x 3 mm
- Rotating scraper with special seal
- Wear-resistant cast coulter point
- Depth roller available limiting depth and repacking surface – guide arm on both sides
- Straightforward depth adjustment using cotter pin – easy to fit/remove (hook-on)
- Proven design of Suffolk coulter with reverse protection and coulter changing system (wide drilling)
- Depth guidance roller available to limit depth and provide packing effect – guide arm on both sides
- Straightforward depth adjustment using cotter pin – easy to fit/remove (hook-on)

Detailed information
Seed hopper
- Seed hopper with steep walls: each grain flows to the outlet without the need for an agitator
- The sectional folding of the steel cover provides a rain-tight enclosure - a gas strut holds the cover in position when open or closed
Metering wheels - Tramlining
- The metering wheels for tramlining are disengaged by clutches -
- Tramline pulse from transmission or landwheel
- 2-way valve or signal box
3 in 1 sowing system: Grain-by-grain perfection
- The multi-sow system handles any seed with perfect metering accuracy - from 0.7 kg to 400 kg/ha.
- Two completely separate metering units are combined into one drill casing. The metering wheels are mounted on the shared metering shaft.
The advantage is that you no longer need to fit blanking plates between
metering wheels for small and normal seed.
- The partition integrated into the seed flap prevents overflowing. The raised partition prevents grain overflow when changing from small to normal metering, guaranteeing precise seed flow. The spring loaded seed flaps are adjusted centrally. Each wheel is individually spring loaded and can move away from foreign objects.
- Wide, funnel-shaped outlets above each metering wheel ensure precision feed right down to the last grain, guaranteeing minimum residues and minimum filling quantities. No insert plate is needed for sowing rapeseed.
- Large dimensioned inlet funnel for transition to seed tube (especially for
spelt). An additional bellows fitting provides seed tube with maximum
flexibility.
Mounting - A reliable connection
- In the field the weight of the seed drill acts directly on the rear roller
- Centre of gravitiy is located right forward - the additional weight of the seed drill on the rear roller assists in the consolidating effect for the seedbed.
Unbeatable technology
- Two-part telescopic seed pipes made of stainless steel and synthetic material - combination of materials greatly reduces the static electricity charge in the seed grains
- The stepless gearbox is submerged in grease and operates smoothly even at low speed. The result: uniform seed distribution

New brochure: VITASEM
Mechanical seed drills
We've split them up: The new brochure on VITASEM mechanical seed drills no longer includes information about LION rotary power harrows. Over 24 pages you will find everything you need to know about the new mounted and piggy-back seed drill with all the technical specifications, equipment choices and much more.
