TS - 480AP - PNEUMATIC DRILL

The TS-480 AP is well suited to users with higher acreage to cover. Utilising the 30mm arable tine on a 187.5mm spacing to give good consistent establishment of arable crops. The front discs are hydraulically controlled and can be adjusted on the move if required. Currently making use of the proven Sulky metering system with the option to add a small hopper fertilizer applicator.

Fentech Agri will be launching a fully integrated split hopper version shortly to offer the option for companion cropping and or fertilizer application.

The contour following of the TS-480 AP is excellent, as with all the folding drills, centrally pivoted wings give 7degrees of movement either way to allow the wings to contour independently of the tractor. With a close coupled frame and the hopper weight as far forward as possible, even with a big 1700L tank capacity a 150hp tractor can handle the drill with ease. A spring flex roller is used for depth control on the rear with simple manual adjustment using a cam system.

Maximize field efficiency with the TS-480AP drill. Its robust design and precise seed placement deliver optimal crop establishment for extensive acreage.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can your drills sow seed mixes?

Both our sponge metering system and pneumatic options are particularly suited to seed mixes. The sponge metering system used on the mechanical drills can conform to any size and shape of seed making them particularly effective for pre-mixed seed. The pneumatic options include split hoppers and dual distribution heads, allowing for not only straight seed mixes but also interrow cropping and companion cropping.

Can your drills run in dry conditions?

The T-boot coulter point is particular suited to dry conditions, pulling into the hardest ground. The vibrating action of the tine also generates tilth in the slot and gives the seed to soil contact necessary for germination, especially when there is a lack of moisture, the glass house like environment in the inverted T-slot draws moisture up via capillary action giving seed the best possible start in less than ideal conditions.

Can your drills run in wet conditions?

The simplicity of the seeders is particularly suited to running in wet conditions, the depth control is on a spring flex roller instead of tyres (on the arable models) which enables better carrying capacity of the weight especially in direct into stubble situations. With a high frame to ground clearance, and heaps of space for trash and soil flow through the machine, blockages are rare. In situations where the soil is particularly sticky, scraper options are available for the depth roller to prevent blocking up. Wet weather options are also available utilising rubber tyre rollers.

Can your drills seed into cover crops?

The leading disc on all our models allows for easy seeding into cover crops, even up to 1m tall. This not only helps lay the crop in the direction of travel, but also slices through the residue creating a clear path for the tines. Fentech Agri also offers a range of crimper rollers to front mount on the tractor for particularly thick covers, the blades can be interchanged for sharp blades which will help terminate the crop at the same time.

Are your drills FETF compliant?

Our seeders are all in the most part FETF compliant depending on the regulations of that particular year. We are a fast moving and innovative business which can make changes in the designs quickly to comply with change in regulations.

What widths of machines do you offer?

In the seeders they range from the smallest at 2.4m up to the widest of 6m, with front tank options available. The subsoilers range from 3m (7 leg) up to 4.5m (9 leg) currently. Top tilth stale seedbed cultivators range from 6m up to 12m trailed.

What is the after sales support like?

We pride ourselves of being direct to customer, removing the confusion sometimes caused by dealers who aren’t focussed on this product alone. We have on the road service available at all times however, due to the simplicity and robustness of the machinery, breakdowns are rare and most things can be fixed over the phone, where support is available 24/7.
