Row unit hoppers

• Capacity of 70 l per row

• Rubber cover seal for pressure and water tightness

• Handle with push-button for opening/closing

• High latching position of the cover and large filling opening for easy filling

The row tank of the Maestro has a capacity of 70 l for seed and is air- and watertight. The working height of the large feed opening is easily accessible and the high snap-in position of the cover allows for an easy and quick filling of the tank.

Row unit

• Hydraulic coulter pressure up to 350 kg

• Various front tools

• Closing wheel options for all soils

• Durable and low-wear design

Built for longevity, the heavy-duty Maestro row units feature a wide, stable parallelogram and maintenance-free bushes designed to absorb high lateral forces and navigate uneven terrain. Using a hydraulic system to apply up to 350 kg of pressure, these units offer precise depth control from 1.5 to 9 cm and include standard catching rollers and V-closing wheels for reliable seed placement and furrow closure.

Robust Maestro row unit

AirVac Metering Units

• Operational speeds up to 12 km/h

• Utmost flexibility for all crops and optimum embedding of the grain

The AirVac metering device can be used universally for an exact grain singulation. Due to different metering discs, cotton, Sorghum, maize, sunflowers, sugarbeet, soybeans and canola can be singulated reliably.

AutoForce

• Stony soils require more coulter pressure to place the seed at a consistent depth. If the coulter pressure is too low the coulter body would not move smoothly and the seed would germinate irregularly and with different speed.

• Light conditions or pressure-sensitive soils need less coulter pressure so that the soil is not compacted. Too much coulter pressure compacts the soil and slows down the development of the roots although all seed was placed at the same depth.

• There rarely are fields that are completely even. In every part of the field the coulter pressure has to be adapted.

• This is why AutoForce has been available for the Maestro line since 2016.

AutoForce guarantees an always consistent embedding of the grains in changing conditions. Thus, more regular emergence and populations are achieved. The contact pressure of the row unit is measured with a sensor at the two support wheels. This pressure (= nominal value) is previously set in the terminal. Three pressure levels are available: 25 kg, 50 kg and 80 kg (the values can also be adapted individually). With changing soil conditions, the row needs more or less power to be able to keep up the set placement depth. The contact pressure would change. The sensor detects this, and the system regulates the contact pressure in such a way that it always corresponds to the nominal value that has been set. This is possible due to the design of the machine which allows for transferring weight to the seed bar. The coulter pressure automatically varies between 150 kg and 350 kg. The grain embedding is always carried out at the same level. Too shallow placement as well as soil compactions can be avoided.

With AutoForce: optimum pressure – optimum seed depth

Without AutoForce: constant pressure – uneven placement

AutoForce Pro

• AutoForce Pro is the extension of AutoForce and additionally relieves the row unit by up to 50 kg.

• Recommended for very light, intensively prepared or pressure-sensitive soils in sensitive crops, e.g. sugar beets.

• Excessive coulter pressure can slow down root development of the plant despite optimal placement and embedding.

• The coulter pressure automatically varies from 50 to 350 kg.

AutoForce Pro offers the same features as AutoForce with identical functionality. The special feature of AutoForce Pro is the automatic row relief in addition to the coulter pressure. On very light or pressure-sensitive soils, the weight of the row unit is sometimes too high, and this can lead to soil compaction. Therefore, AutoForce was developed further to additionally relieve the row unit with AutoForce Pro by up to 50 kg. The coulter pressure automatically varies from 50 kg to 350 kg. The relieved weight is evenly distributed to the frame of the machine. Thus, the embedding of the seed is always carried out at the same level, even on varying soils. A too shallow or too deep placement as well as soil compaction can be avoided - even in loose and intensively prepared conditions. Especially with sensitive crops, e.g. sugar beets, AutoForce Pro shows its strengths with regard to ideal seed embedding in changing conditions.

Trash Wheels

• Contour following depth control

• Stop bottom for depth limitation

• Stop at the top for working more aggressively

• Fix detent possible

The trash wheels prepare the seed furrow immediately before sowing. Stones, clods and organic matter like straw or mulch residues are removed from the area of the seed furrow. The objective is to obtain a clean seed furrow area with enough fine earth. The trash wheels are mainly used in a floating position with a downward depth limitation. Thus, they cannot work too aggressively or too deeply and they auto-control the height due to the integrated depth limiter.

Optional trash wheels, floating with depth control

eosT10/eosT10 Pro

• High-resolution 10" terminal for controlling all ISOBUS devices according to ISO 11783

• Reliable and powerful: high-performance hardware combined with intuitive, user-friendly operation in day or night mode

• Various layout options allow for a simultaneous display of several applications – for an optimum overview.

• Straightforward transfer of application maps with the wireless task data exchange

• A real-time transmission of the terminal display via Remote Support facilitates the technical support.

Due to the high resolution and the well-thought-out user navigation, even complex machine functions can be operated comfortably. The high efficiency and the large (working) memory allow for a smooth handling of large data quantities or application maps. In addition to the traditional import resp. export of data via a USB flash drive, the transfer can also take place easily and comfortably online directly between the PC and the terminal.

Due to its high resolution, the eosT10 offers a state-of-the-art user experience for all ISOBUS-compliant machines.

Due to the WIFI interface, field boundaries, application maps or order data can be exchanged directly between PC and terminal.

The lean design of the 10" display allows for perfect integration into any tractor cabin.

eosT10 – robust hardware with diverse interfaces

In portrait mode, two applications can be optimally displayed and operated.

By displaying up to 3 widgets in addition to the main working screen, the user can keep track of several applications at the same time.
