The MaterMacc Msd Elektro seed drills are designed for minimum tillage and sowing on worked soil, ensuring maximum homogeneity and precision of work
Most agricultural land is either ploughed and harrowed or managed according to minimum tillage practices, which involve only shallow passes with tine and disc cultivators. In both cases, MaterMacc offers the “Msd Elektro” line seed drills, suitable for sowing cereals, rapeseed, and forage crops. With working widths ranging from five to six meters, the “Msd Elektro” features a standard minimum row spacing of 12.5 centimeters. Field autonomy is supported by a 1,300-liter hopper, contributing to high daily productivity. In fact, daily performance can reach up to 70 hectares sown, operating at speeds between 13 and 15 km/h.
The performance of the “Msd Elektro” results from a combination of specific technical features aimed at maximizing efficiency and precision. Among the standout technologies is the distribution system, built around four metering units serving four separate distribution heads. This setup optimizes seeding uniformity compared to systems that rely on a single central distribution head.
In addition, the highly responsive “Section Control” system allows for precise management of individual seeding elements, which can be deactivated one by one when necessary. This feature becomes especially important when working in irregularly shaped fields where overlaps are more likely.
Further contributing to overall seeding uniformity are the electric-driven metering units and the seeding elements designed for maximum adaptability to the terrain profile. The electric transmission enables automatic calibration of the seeder before starting operations and allows for in-field adjustment of seeding rates. At the core of the dosing system are the “MagicDrill” distributors, which operate with variable-cell rollers that can be used individually, allowing for quick adaptation to different seed types without requiring any replacements. Switching seeds simply involves manually selecting the most appropriate roller.
The seeding elements themselves feature a parallelogram structure that ensures excellent ground-following capability, thanks to a spring-loaded system with an adjustable ratchet mechanism allowing for up to 45 kg of ground pressure. As for the openers, they have a 36 cm diameter and are available as either single or double discs — with the latter being recommended for heavier soils, as it better handles combined vertical and lateral loads, thanks to its dual-bearing support.
Finally, a 25 cm diameter press wheel, which can be manually adjusted, serves both as a seed press and a depth limiter.
