Väderstad Spirit 600-900S Seed Drill
The pneumatic seed drill Spirit 600-900S is available in 6, 8 or 9 metre working widths. It is a universal seed drill for high-capacity drilling in conventional and minimum tillage. Spirit 600-900S is equipped with innovative solutions that increases the precision and simplifies the operations at the farm.
Thanks to the individual row depth control, Spirit always places the seed at the intended seeding depth. You benefit from an even emergence over the entire field.
Features & Benefits
Spirit 600-900S is equipped with the high precision metering system Fenix II that provides a constant and reliable seed metering. The strong motor permits high seed rates at high speed. Additionally, the integrated fan runs at low speed, resulting in minimised fuel consumption and quiet operation. Its high location reduces the dust intake, thereby increasing drilling accuracy.
- To minimise downtime in the field, Spirit has a high capacity 3900 litre seed hopper. The hopper is very easy to fill due to its large opening with a roll-up cover operated from the ground. With two platforms and an open machine design, you benefit from good access to all components throughout the machine.
- The seed is metered out via two distributor heads, this enables the driver to conduct half machine shut-off directly from the driver seat, optimising tramlining without double seeding. On irregular fields, this section shut-off offers great opportunities for extra savings. Farmers who regularly use half machine shut-off appreciate the fact that they can save up to 5 % seed and fertiliser, at the same time allowing the crop the best start possible.
- To ensure an even seed depth also in hilly terrain and at varying soil types, Spirit 600-900S is equipped with an active seed coulter pressure. Sensors in the hydraulic system immediately registers if Spirit is located on a crest or a trough. The result is an impressive seed placement and an even emergence over the entire field.
