TS - 600AP - PNEUMATIC DRILL
Efficient Seeding Solution for Large Acreage and Reliable Performance
Features the widest drill setup, offering exceptional contour-following capabilities with independently pivoting wings for precise operation.
Designed with minimal moving parts, this drill ensures simple operation and reduced maintenance requirements, saving time and costs for users.
Includes options like half-width shut-off, tramlining, ISOBUS, section control, and interrow shut-off, plus hydraulically adjustable front discs for on-the-go flexibility.
An optional split hopper is available which supports companion cropping and fertiliser application.
FETF 2024 ELIGIBLE
The TS-600 AP is the widest mounted version of drills Fentech Agri produce. With two independently pivoting wings, with 7 degrees of movement, for contour following and the same 1700L hopper as on the other folding drills, this machine can work through high acreage reliably.
As with all Simtech machines minimal moving and wearing parts keep the drill simple, with low maintenance required.
The TS-600 has options of half width shut off, tramlining, ISOBUS, section control and interrow shut off if required. The front discs are hydraulically controlled and can be adjusted on the move if required.
This machine can be specified as a fully integrated split hopper version to offer the option for companion cropping and or fertilizer application. The drill utilises the 30mm arable tine on 187.5mm spacing with a spring flex roller and closing harrow chain. For simplicity of establishment and reliable seeding this is a high capacity machine to meet large acreage farm requirements.
For customers wanting to utilise a smaller tractor chasis but still maintain 6m working width we recommend the TS – 6004A with FH-1800.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
