Segmented distributor head with electric half-side shut-off

The segmented distributor head is located behind the seed hopper and directly above the coulters. This arrangement ensures a short conveying time for the seed. The optional electric half-side shut-off helps to reduce any over-sowing on the headland or round the field border and thus saves seed. Via the half-side shut-off, the drill metering can be comfortably controlled via the terminal in wedge shaped fields or on a diagonal headland. Additionally via GPS, the automated switching of half the working width is possible. Either when using the electric half-side shut-off or during a tramline bout, the seed rate is reduced automatically. The benefits: + Electric half-side shut-off + Short conveying times for the seed + Reduction in overlap saves seed + Minimising dust creation inside the seed hopper because no seed is rerouted
