Direct drilling wheat 14 mph no till drill 3PL 18' x 12" row spacings Video
This machine is operating at 13-14 mph or 22 kph in this clip sowing about 20 acres per hour including fill time and did about 2500 acres of canola, wheat, barley in its first outing. The openers feature twin seed/fertilizer tubes with the fertilizer going in first at more than double the speed/pressure of the seed forcing it down and under the displaced divot. The seed following does not go quite so far - this results in the seed (100 lbs p/acre) coming up in rows about 2" wide and the fertilizer (100 lbs p/acre) is about 4" wide with most of it slightly to one side of the seed thereby reducing the risk of seed burn associated with discs in high application rate situations.
SNT (Specialty No Till) is primarily involved in designing and creating cutting edge high speed no till coulter disc, direct drill, minimum till, zero till agricultural seeding technologies that will save time, money and the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, soil moisture and carbon loss (in agriculture) and the associated impact on global warming through dramatically reduced input costs/fuel consumption and oxidization of Soil Organic Matter, (SOM) - US patent # 6,978,727
