RowControl

The RowControl distribution tower puts the SectionControl system for seed drills to a completely new level!
But the new distribution tower is more than just SectionControl:

  • Individual row switch-off right to the last row is possible
  • Tramlines can be freely selected
  • Row spacings are freely adjustable

These functions are possible as the distribution tower can separate the air and the seed flow and does not affect the lateral distribution.The SectionControl options right down to the individual row switch-off allow for saving fertiliser and seed. As there are no double spots on the headlands, at wedges or obstacles, the individual plant development improves and the competition pressure in these areas is reduced. There are no overlaps, thus the required seed quantity is reduced and overfertilisation on the headlands and at wedges is prevented. Thus, the farmer quite easily can save costs.

The RowControl distribution tower is available for the following machines

  • Express 3 KR
  • Focus 6 TD
  • Pronto 3 DC
  • Pronto 4 DC
  • Pronto 6 DC
  • Serto 10 SC
  • Serto 12 SC

Requirements for RowControl

Tractor

  • Existing RTK signal is used to precisely turn the sections on and off
  • Field boundaries and headland lines help the machine to recognise SectionControl

Activations

  • Track Leader II for tramline management
  • SectionControl activation for switching the rows on and off precisely
  • For double hopper machines a MultiControl activation is required to precisely control several components

Flap open
– Seed is transported to the seed coulter

Flap closed
– Excess air escapes by the coulter
– Seed is led into the injector and refed to the distribution tower
– No lateral distribution losses
