2024 Maschio Gaspardo Diretta Base

2024 Maschio Gaspardo Pinta SC Isotronic 600/48

DIRETTA introduces the segment of in-line seed drills for direct seeding of cereals. The result of GASPARDO's thirty years’ experience in the sector, DIRETTA is characterised by a fixed frame available in the 9.8 feet by 17 or 19 rows size, ideal for seeding crops such as cereals, soy beans, rapeseed and forage.

DIRETTA features GASPARDO direct seed drill element, capable of exerting a maximum ground pressure of 573.2 lbs thanks to HEAVY DUTY structural solutions such as the large diameter toothed disc coulter (18.7 in) with trim adjustment spring, wear-resistant cast iron coulter and independent closing wheel arm with dedicated adjustment spring. The seeding depth adjustable by means of the interchangeable depth wheel coupled to the disc coulter, allows easy and quick setting according to the crop and the soil.

The finishing work is completed by a harrow with flexible teeth, consisting of a bearing bar on which four oscillating sections are hinged for fixing the teeth. In this way the harrow is able to follow the undulation of the soil by repositioning the crop residues previously moved by the seeding element.

The fixed frame with semi-mounted tractor hitch supports the seeding elements staggered along the rows of 6.1 or 7 in. The large 552.1 gal hopper in the SEED - FERTILIZER version has an internal partition of 332.9 gal for the seed and 219.3 gal for the fertilizer.

The transmission is of the mechanical type capable of distributing a quantity of seed from a minimum of 1.7 up to a maximum of 446 lbm/ac, driven by the toothed support wheel to increase grip on any type of soil.

Features may include:

The various tapered gauge wheels ensure the unit sits stably on the ground, and thanks to the considerable down pressure, deliver consistent seeding depth, even when encountering obstacles during forward travel.

Its tapered profile reduces resistance to forward travel, and ensures materials have a longer service life. The coulter is height adjustable, while the point is easily replaceable.

The truncated cone shape and slight angle to the vertical allow to cover the seed with the soil displaced by the coulter. The rocker arm, which is independent from the coulter, follows the undulating contours, even on very uneven ground. Down pressure can be adjusted with a spring.

The three-cam transmission in oil bath, situated on the side of the machine, transfers movement from the drive wheel to the distribution line. The seeding population can be varied from the transmission by acting on the adjustment lever calibrated on a continuous scale from 1 to 55.
