Disc precision seed drill MATRIX 1800

foldingdepth control

Product overview
The MATRIX 1800 is a mechanical precision seeder available in 12-row or 18-row configurations for planting beet, canola and root chicory seed. The seeding units are guided by a parallelogram suspension for accurate depth control and central seed placement. The unit offers selectable row widths of 45 or 50 cm and can operate in conventional seeding (after ploughing) or mulch seeding modes.

Highlights

• Precise seed placement: Low drop height ensures accurate seeding into the furrow.
• Fast field-to-field movement: Hydraulic lifting and folding for quick transport setup.
• Tool-free adjustments: Frame and single-row concept allow adjustments and wheel folding/locking without tools.
• Electrical single-row drive: Enables variable tuber/seed spacing, Clever Planting, Section Control, MATRIX-seed and creation of turnpike rows/harvest windows.
• Defined harvest windows: Select number of rows and distances to create bed markings for harvest management.
• Dust and splash protection: Snap-on lids with handles for secure closing of seed boxes.
• Ground contour adaptation: Revised parallelogram provides precise, central seed placement across uneven ground.
