What farmers want: Effectively prepared soil surface with fine tilth at seed slot level for uniform growth. The seedbed should be as level and crumbly as possible in order to ensure minimum crop losses.
Our solution: You can integrate PÖTTINGER TERRASEM machines into any seedbed preparation concept - unique ground tracking and uniform depth placement are always guaranteed. Combined with a two-row, low-draft disc harrow, the best tilth and mixing of the soil is ensured.
With the TERRASEM FERTILIZER, PÖTTINGER supports the growing trend towards direct fertilisation: In the face of increasing fertiliser prices, new types of fertiliser, new fertiliser regulations and environmental legislation, it pays to employ precision fertiliser management in future.
The combined packer and wheel unit is positioned between the disc harrow and the seed coulters. Even pressure distribution across the entire working width is achieved thanks to the set pressure on the seed coulter as the rear roller follows the contours of the terrain.
The packer follows the contours of the ground to ensure precise ground tracking in any position - in the direction of travel and across the working width.
The chassis with its wide 17" tyres consolidates the soil ahead of the drilling coulters - 4 rows at a time with a row spacing of 12.5 cm, or 3 rows with a spacing of 16.7 cm.
The flexing characteristics of the tyres promote self-cleaning and improve the fine structure of the tilth.
The machine is supported by all wheels at headlands when raised out of work. The chassis frame always remains in the same position; only the disc harrow and coulter rails are lifted.
Thanks to their versatility and excellent manoeuvrability, TERRASEM mulch seed drills enjoy an enthusiastic following.
The wide tyres ensure perfect consolidation ahead of seed placement.
The machine is supported by all wheels at headlands when raised out of work. The chassis frame always remains in the same position while the disc harrow and coulter rails are lifted.
Each packer wheel is individually mounted - this prevents smearing of the soil surface at the headland.
Even in difficult conditions and at high speeds, the interplay between the tyre packer, double-disc coulters and the coulter pressure results in exact seed placement.
With an inter coulter rail spacing of 320 mm and a row spacing of 12.5 cm, optimum plant distribution density is ensured even with high volumes of harvest residues.
Three-part design
The three-section design of the TERRASEM C models ensures uniform tillage across the whole working width. Middle section - left frame section - middle section - right frame section.
The folding disc harrow frames, packer and coulter rails allow a freedom of movement of up to 5 degrees up and down to perfectly adapt to ground contours transverse to the direction of travel.
These folding sections are hydraulically preloaded using accumulators to provide equal pressure distribution in any working position over the whole working width. On TERRASEM models with a working width of 6 m upwards, optional jockey wheels ensure exact depth control of the leading tillage tools.
This guarantees thorough tillage over the whole working width.
The placement depth can be adjusted using the three-point mounting of the coulter rail.
By attaching each section via a 3-point linkage on to the packer frame, each coulter section is free to follow the ground contours.
The coulter sections can adapt to uneven ground in the direction of travel.
When driving over a bump, the coulter rail is not lifted but remains at the same seed placement depth.
The coulter pressure also remains unchanged.
The four-joint 3-point design connects the coulter rail with the packer frame and allows the coulter rail to adjust automatically to the ground contours.
When driving though a dip, the coulter rail is adjusted upwards.
