Comparison of Falcon PRO and Falcon Compact seed drills

Technology

Falcon Compact: Wide tires for spacing of 5" / 6.5"

Falcon Compact: Narrow tires for spacing of 6"

1 Basic soil leveling zone. Accuracy levelled soil surface allows uniform subsequent compaction and cultivation the seedbed.
2 Soil pre-processing zone. The pre-processing of the soil can be made with various working tools, either over the entire sowing depth or in zones up to 4". Soil pre-processing ensures aeration, leveling and optimum cultivation. There is also optimal uniformly dispersing of crop residue.
3 Fertilizer placement zone. Granular fertilizers are placed in the root zone of future plants, either directly below each row or between two rows.
4 Zone of soil reconsolidation and restoration of deep capillarity. Deep compaction ensures effective soil water rise to the soil surface even in dry conditions.
5 Seedbed formation and seed placement zone. The double disk seeding coulters effectively create a compacted seedbed (V-groove) and accuracy placed the seed to the required depth. Thanks to the high down-pressure, up to 70% of the weight of the machine can be transferred to the seeding coulters. The compacted seedbed and V-groove ensure excellent seed contact with soil and soil water.
6 The side seed press zone. The copy wheel compresses the V- groove with the seed, causing the seed to squeeze sideways to the soil. There is loosened space above the seed for easy emergence of plants.
7 Seed cover and soil leveling zone. The integrated harrow ensures excellent seed coverage and accuracy soil surface leveling.

Compact seed drill Falcon Compact

  1. Pneumatic packer and two-row pre-processing disk section
  2. Rubber-tyre roller for optimal soil compaction
  3. Double-disk  seed coulters with a fixed spacing of 5" / 6" / 6.5"

Falcon Compact is designed for sowing all common crops with spacing of 5" / 6" / 6.5" including most cereals, legumes, green fertilizers as well as some clover crops and oilseeds in unprepared soil.

Falcon Compact provides pre-sowing preparation of soil, seedbed preparation, soil compaction and reliable sowing with a large seeding range of 0.5 to 321 lb/ac in a single pass.

High coulter pressure: up to 331 lb.

  • Low pulling resistance thanks to the low weight
  • Shorter downtime for filling up hoppers thanks to the large capacity
  • Fast turns at headland thanks to the short compact construction
  • Accuracy depth guidance with even soil compaction
  • Leveling and compacting surface in front of each seed coulter

High working speed: 6─12 mph

Light, but rugged Frame

The frame from the high-strength eXtra STEEL line guarantees a long service life of the machines, even under the most demanding conditions thanks to the high flexibility of the frame and the low weight of the machine.

Massive compact structure
Shortened, very compact and rugged design.
Large Hopper
Single or double chamber seed hopper with a capacity of 75.5─141,9 bu., easily accessible with a large opening.
Maintenance-free Placement of disks
The maintenance-free placement of all disks with the diameter of 14" provides operation that does not require lubrication, with rubber protection against overload.
Maintenance-free Placement of Coulters
The resistant and maintenance-free rubber mounting of the drill coulters helps adapt to the terrain and provides protection against overload.

Easy Operation

The minimum number of adjustment and lubrication points makes the operation, control as well as subsequent maintenance a very simple task that anyone can manage.

  • Easy setting of the sowing depth, coulter pressure and seeding amount.
  • Simple electronic system with intuitive control.
  • Minimum adjustment points.
  • Minimum lubrication points.
Easy hopper filling with seeds
Wide and long service platform for safe and comfortable filling of the hopper with seeds.
Adjustable side deflectors
Height and lengthwise adjustable side deflectors for regulation of the processed soil and for continuous connection of the individual passes.
Setting the working depth of the pre-processing section
Easy setting of the working depth according to a well-arranged chart using distance washers on piston-rods.
Farmet dispenser
A modern roller dispenser with interchangeable rollers.
Adjustment of sowing depth
Very simple and fast adjustment of the required sowing depth.
Simple adjustment of harrows
Adjustment of harrow pressure by changing the pin position, with the option to lift the harrows and not use them during seeding.

Smart Machine Design

Compact construction
The design of the machine is more compact and lighter while maintaining the high strength and durability requirements of the machine even in the most extreme conditions.
Front Flexi-Board
The flexi-board scraper levels the field surface very well and is hydraulically controlled. This is an optional machine eqiupment.
Front pneumatic packer
Pneumatic packer with reinforced tyres for additional soil compaction. This is an optional machine equipment.
Seedbed preparation
The double pre-sowing disk section perfectly levels the topsoil crosswise and loosens soil to the depth of the seedbed.
Tines with two disks
The disks of the pre-sowing section are installed in pairs on the tines. The ruggedand wide rubber bearing reliably protects the working parts from damage.
Optimal soil compaction
In front of each coulter there is a tired roller made from reinforced tires. The tires have a special design resistant to wet clay sticking.
Adjustment of sowing depth
Possibility of adjustment of various sowing depths on even and odd coulters.
Double-disk seed coulters
Thanks to the tested design, they also penetrate soil very well when there is a large content of crop residue, and together with the press-wheel, they place seeds at the set depth.
