BASIC FIX

The precision planters with BASIC element are the entry into the PROSEM range. They optimise performance by simplifying various elements such as replacing the seeding element pressure adjustment system by a continuous pressure spring.
The elements are mounted at a fixed distance from each other on a rigid single bar frame with a 150 mm square section.
The working width ranges from 255 cm to 600 cm.

Centralised suction with circular nozzle up to 6 rows.
Transmission without row exclusion.
Element pressure regulation by means of a spring with spindle.
Gear change with chain box.
Transmission with one drive wheel, up to 6 elements.
 
        
 

 
 

Row unit "K BASIC"

 
  1. Articulated parallelograms system for great stability and amplitude of travel, ensuring perfect
  2. adaptation to the sowing surface.
  3. Row unit pressure load spring with continuous adjustment via threaded piston rod.
  4. Self-lubricating sintered bushing for durable articulation systems with zero maintenance during the sowing season.
  5. 50-litre seed hopper.
  6. Seed metering unit with suction dosing system, made of high resistance polymers for a long working life and minimum maintenance.
  7. Easy-access sowing disc inspection window.
  8. Extremely easy replacement of the sowing disc thanks to the patented fixing system.
  9. Emptying of the seed metering unit through a trap in the bottom of the metering unit.
  10. Continuous adjustment of sowing depth by means of a crank ensures seed planting is carried
  11. out correctly at the required depth (deep sowing kit option).
  12. Internal and external sowing disc cleaners made of anti-wear steel.
  13. Record of covering element pressure by spring and a 5-position lever.
  14. Regulation of the closing wheel angle by 4-position lever.
  15. External scrapers on depth control wheels.
  16. Semi-pneumatic depth control wheels Ø400x115 mm with bearings fitted with triple dust ingress protection.
  17. Optimum furrow opening thanks to the low angle between the discs, which ensures a perfect seed emergence with the lowest power consumption, through Ø15" sowing discs with bearings fitted with triple dust protection.
  18. Interchangeable seed tube protective Suffolk coulter.
  19. Seed tube with anti-wear protection.
  20. Semi-pneumatic Ø13"x2" closing wheels with bearings fitted with triple dust protection.
  21. Planting depth controlled directly on the point of fall of the seed.
  22. Height-adjustable front clod remover with furrower blade to ensure correct preparation of the seedbed.
  23. Automatic element exclusion.
  24. Mechanical chain transmission without row exclusion.
  25. One standard sowing disc included.
