G-DRILL

Turbo Jet Applicator

Metering and distribution is provided via a Stocks AG Turbo Jet seeder. Standard with a 400ltr hopper, an optional 1,000L metal hopper is available. Electronically controlled via the 4.3” colour touch screen i-CON system for ultimate accuracy. Air flow comes from twin digital brushless 12v electric fans, however it can be specified with an optional hydraulic fan for even more airflow, a useful upgrade for those looking to drill grain seed up to 200kg/ha. An ISObus controlled option is also available if preferred.

Vector Discs

The rubber mounted “Vector” disc is the major feature of the drill with is 400mm diameter and 4° angle it provides a superb cutting action allowing seed to be placed at a constant depth via the seed tube and coulter.

The Vector disc naturally helps retain moisture during dry periods by minimising soil disturbance, which also reduces the emergence of volunteer weeds. Its scalloped design rotates smoothly through the ground, preventing stones from being lifted to the surface and avoiding the dragging of residue or trash.

Hydraulic Weight Transfer System

Another standard features are the variable hydraulic weight transfer system that increases coulter pressure by transferring weight from the tractor via a hydraulic linkage controlled by the operator in the tractor cab.

This simple, but effective method of weight transfer allows the operator to drill directly in tough conditions as well as softer, cultivated seedbeds, where different coulter pressures may be needed, without having to add or remove heavy steel weights to achieve optimal drill settings.
