Disc sowing machines Falcon PRO

Several sowing technologies in a single sowing machine

Description of technology

Due its modularity, modular sowing machine Falcon PRO is intended for all conditions and all technologies. Especially the minimizing technology uses sowing into unprepared soil with the applied fertilizer. At conventional technology with pre-sowing soil preparation, high working speed, excellent stability and manoeuvrability of the machine can be used.

Falcon combines soil preparation, additional fertilization and sowing into one operation

Falcon PRO combines soil preparation, additional fertilization and sowing itself into one operation, into one run. The conception of the sowing machine is based on optionality and combination of all working sections and their interchangeability. Between the pre-processing and sowing sections there is the tyre-packer with integrated travel axle. The sowing bed before each drill coulters is perfectly recompacted by the flotation (low-pressure) tyres. The wheels are resistant against damage.

During one run the machine sows 2 crops that are directly subjected to additional fertilization

Falcon PRO is a very compact machine with a low weight and low traction resistance. The management and control system is, of course, a part of the machine. From the basic cheapest offer without additional fertilization up to the option of sowing of two crops or species (independent sowing amount and depth of seed placement) with additional fertilization.

High performance and quality of work

• High working speed up to 20 km/h.
• Low traction resistance due to a low weight and large wheels.
• Shorter idle periods for filling of feeders thanks to a large capacity.
• Fast turning at headlands due to a short compact design.
• Precise dept guidance with optimum soil compaction.
• Perfect surface levelling and compaction in front of the drill coulters.

High variability of machine

The advantage of this machine is its multipurposeness and adjustability bringing high variability of work.

Adjustment of sowing depth

Possibility of adjustment of various sowing depths on even and odd coulters. Independent sowing of two crops.

Sowing of two variants of crops

Sowing of two compensatory variants of winter wheat

Sowing with undersowing

Sowing of winter oilseed rape with undersowing of legumes and alfalfa.

Possibility of additional fertilization

Using the possibility of additional fertilization during sowing. Two-chamber hopper with the volume of 6,000 litres divided in the ratio of 40:60 (fertilizer : seed).

Low pressure on soil

The packer with large low-pressure tyres ensuring low pressure on the soil and excellent tracing. Perfect surface levelling and compaction in front of the drill coulters.

Harrow

The harrow behind the tyre-packer that cleans and partially preparing the sowing bed in front of the drill coulters.

Larger hopperThe hopper with a capacity of 4000 litres (6000 litres with the side-dressing option) makes work more efficient by reducing the frequency of necessary re-fills.

Falcon PRO Fert+ & Micro Drill

Robust design

Used high-strength refined materials in connection with eXtra STEEL line technology guarantee long service life of our machines even in the most difficult conditions.

Adjustment of working depth of the front section

Easy adjustment of the working depth of the front section according to the overview table using the distance washers on the piston rods.

Adjustment of side deflectors

Height and longitudinally adjustable side deflectors for ideal direction of the processed soil and continuous connection of individual runs.

Adjustment of depth and pressure

Patented adjustment of the depth and pressure of the rear harrows in one step.

Smartly designed machine

Due to the modular system, the machine can be adjusted for many sowing technologies of all common crops. A great advantage is also the possibility of sowing two crops at two different depths during one run.

• The modular system enables to select various sowing technologies.
• The modular system enables quick exchange of working sections as needed.
• Precise soil tracing.
• Very low pressure on the soil – large low-pressure tyres = self-cleaning effect, the machine does not create tracks and absorbs shocks.
• The possibility of parallel sowing of two crops at two different depths.

Adjustment of sowing dosageVery easily accessible feeders for adjustment of the sowing dosage.

Easy filling of feeders with seedA wide and long operating bridge for safe and comfortable filling of the feeder with seed.

Fertilizing disksFertilizing disks with granulated fertilizer applicator.
