2024 Maschio Gaspardo Diretta-V Isotronic 300/8

DIRETTA-V is the seed drill for direct seeding on vineyards. Thanks to the fixed frame of the mounted type that allows working widths between 1.2 and 2 m, it also adapts well to work inside the rows, ensuring total coverage of the ground thanks to the 20 cm row spacing.

DIRETTA features GASPARDO direct seed drill element, capable of exerting a maximum ground pressure of 260kg thanks to HEAVY DUTY structural solutions such as the large diameter toothed disc coulter (475 mm) 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 fixed frame, with mounted tractor hitch that supports up to 10 seeding units, also houses the electrically controlled B-DRILL pneumatic seed drill with 200, 300 or 500 l hopper capacity. The reduced longitudinal footprint allows considerable mobility and the reduction of accessory times such as headland turns.

The availability of different metering rollers allows to meet the most disparate needs, ensuring the sowing of a high number of herbaceous crops: from those for normal grassing with the function of cover crop to nitrogen-fixing ones.

The dispenser is driven directly by the direct drive electric motor, with metering managed via the ISOBUS communication protocol from the control terminal in the tractor cab.

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.

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.

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.

DIRETTA-V is equipped with a pneumatic distribution B DRILL hopper with volumes ranging from 200 to 500 l.
