A choice of disc or tine direct drilling
In addition to the disc Avatar, the Sprinter 12.25 SC tine drill offers 12m working width with a 3m transport width with a 4m transport height to make it even more manoeuvrable. It is equipped with a 6300-litre double hopper and will soon be available with a triple tank or additional MiniDrill options. The hopper design is based on that of the Avatar 8.25 and can apply up to four components.
The tines of the Sprinter 12.25 SC are hydraulically pre-stressed, with a coulter pressure up to 180kg, and can be retracted for transport. They ensure a high clearance between frame and surface as well as between the seed coulters making them ideal for direct or mulch seeding. The tines are individually depth-controlled with a press wheel and the 3-bar tine section and 25cm tine spacing offers a straw-free and clod-free sowing horizon.
6m mounted drills with wider row spacing
The trailed Avatar and Sprinter models also have mounted siblings combined with a Partner FT front tank, offering farmers great flexibility and manoeuvrability, and retaining the wider spacing.
The 6m Avatar SL is designed for precise sowing in mulch seed conditions. The SL mounted model reduces tillage to a minimum yet works well in high amounts of straw residue, and in harder soils. Row spacings of 25cm or 30cm pave the way for mechanical weed control.
The 6m Sprinter 6.25 SL is ideal for working in wetter conditions and on light and medium soils. As with the Sprinter SC, the tines are individually depth-controlled with a press wheel and have 25cm tine spacings.
