FETF 2024 ELIGIBLE
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.
