Thanks to the adaptability of the seeding bars and the ease of replacing the discs, MaterMacc’s Ms 8230 precision planters can meet multiple mission profiles, helping to limit investments in machinery fleets and reduce operating costs.
In the machinery fleets of more structured farms and contractors, planters play a strategic role. Variable row spacing depending on the types of crops to be sown requires equipment capable of easily and quickly adapting to different inter-row parameters, so as to meet as many application needs as possible with a single machine—clearly benefiting the containment of investments and the operating costs associated with seeding operations.
This is precisely the mission profile that characterizes the MaterMacc “Ms 8230” models, in fact the only 12-row precision planters that offer a weight kept within 18 quintals and are therefore able to support sowing in autumn and between late winter and early spring, when often wet soils require light machines to be worked in a timely manner. All this while always operating at the correct depth and without creating wheel tracks during forward movement—an advantage that becomes even more significant when working on clay soils.
The low mass of the “Ms 8230” planters also allows them to be used with medium-power tractors, around 100 horsepower, without negatively affecting performance quality, ensured by seeding units incorporating double-disc openers that exert a load of up to 125 kilograms on the soil. This results in high operational stability, which also favors uniform germination, aided by press wheels that recompact the soil after seed placement.
Configured this way, the “Ms 8230” precision planters ensure the perfect combination of precision and operational versatility, the latter further emphasized by the possibility of completely replacing the seeding discs in about 15–20 minutes without using any tools.
Maximum seeding precision is further supported by a selector that makes it possible to work even with small seeds, such as radish, a crop that requires an in-row spacing of only 12 centimeters, supported by the “Ms 8230.” In such operating contexts, the machines can also benefit from a hydraulic system for expanding and contracting the seeding bar, which allows the use of a different number of units, moving from an inter-row range between 37.5 and 50 centimeters when using all 12 units, up to row spacing between 60 and 80 centimeters when using eight units.
