The hydraulic fan can be set at different speeds to ensure good transport of product without unnecessary bounce in the seed furrow.
The hopper holds a total of 3 900 litres and is divided into two compartments. The hopper has a clean and spacious design that improves the view into the machine and makes service easy.
The metering system is the same as on Väderstad Rapid seed drills and has a good reputation for precision and reliability.
The wide 400/55-15.5 tyres and tandem axle minimise compaction in the field and allow the machine to travel smoothly on the road at speed.
The Linac distribution heads are used to give uniform distribution of seed and fertiliser across the width of the machine.
The Seed Hawk can easily be set up to seed forage maize. A hydraulic valve is operated which holds the front two rows of seed units up and just the back row of seed units are put down into work. This gives a row spacing of 76 cm (30").
Mounting the machine on the tractor link arms enables the machine to turn tightly on the headlands minimising the size of headland required.
The fertiliser knife in the drilling unit has been reinforced with double wearing plates for greatly improved life. This new fertiliser knife can be retrofitted on existing Seed Hawk machines.
Seed Hawk knives for seed and fertiliser are designed for a low draft force requirement and a long lifetime.
