The very compact unit of the Maestro DV consisting of a large seed wagon, a seed bar with a working width of up to 6 m and a single grain seed bar with 6 or 8 rows guarantees high efficiency with comparably low requirements on the tractor. As the seed bar is attached via a 4-point linkage, it is possible to mount a Pronto NT or Pronto TD CoulterBar with a working width of 4, 5 or 6 m for broadcast sowing systems. Thus, the Maestro DV can be used even more universally and becomes an all-rounder among the seed drills.
To meet all customer requirements in an optimum way, two configurations of the seed wagon of the Maestro DV are available.
The 2 800 litre hopper is used to apply fertiliser via the coulters of the underground fertilisation. In this case, the seed is supplied in the large individual row boxes with a capacity of 70 litre.
When using the Maestro DV in combination with a Pronto NT or Pronto TD CoulterBar, the large double hopper with a capacity of 3 500 litres can be used to apply seed and fertiliser simultaneously as a Grain & Fertiliser system into the seed slot. As an alternative the double hopper combined with the single grain seed bar can be used to apply two different fertiliser components via the underground fertilisation unit.
For both versions the hopper is equipped with the well-proven HORSCH metering technology and can supply the underground fertilisation system respectively the seed bar of the Maestro reliably and precisely.
The row body of the Maestro DV is equipped with a wide, sturdy parallelogram and, as a standard, with springs to create the coulter pressure. Thus, coulter pressures up to 260 kg per row can be generated mechanically. As an option, it is possible to equip the machine with hydraulic cylinders to generate the coulter pressure. Thus, the innovative coulter pressure regulation system AutoForce carries out the coulter pressure adjustments up to max. 350 kg per row. The weight of the seed wagon is used to generate the coulter pressure over the whole width of the machine and relieves the seed wagon tyres while sowing.
