1590 No-Till Grail Drill
Providing accurate depth control the 1590 No-Till Grain Drill leads to improved germination, emergence, yield, and profits making it the perfect design for the grower who seeds in a variety of conditions - from conventional to conservation tillage.
The 475 mm (18-in.) disk blades are mounted at a 7-degree angle for aggressive residue handling and furrow creation. Patented active hydraulics maintain penetration force consistently by allowing hydraulic cylinders to extend or retract in response to changing terrain.
The 1590 comes in two box styles: the plain grain box, which is suited for the customer who desires to drill legumes such as soybeans that typically don't require fertilisation and the combination grain/fertiliser box suited for the customer who desires to drill cereals and grasses that require fertilisation.
Features:
- Seedboxes have a large capacity for longer intervals between stops for refilling.
- Up to 204 kilograms (450 lb.) of down-pressure provide consistent down-force in rough fields.
- Furrow openers operate independently of each other.
- Electronic population rate control. When used in conjunction with seed sensors and either a ComputerTrak® 250 monitor or a SeedStar™ monitor, the operator can monitor rates and adjust them on-the-go from the cab of the tractor.
