The Seedmatic 4124CTE has 24 coulters on 125 mm spacings and two 540 litre bins that can be used for seed and/or fertiliser.

It also offers electric metering of seed and fertiliser.

Two Airpro drills have also been introduced that are fitted with the electric drive system — the 8124E having a 3 m sowing width and the larger 6 m hydraulic folding.

“The electronic metering system offers pre-set modes so that you can store settings for particular seed and fertiliser combinations to reuse at a later date,” PFG Australia cultivation and seeding territory manager Tom Wilkinson said.

“The touch screen controls the rate and shut-off of both boxes independently with a one-button calibration for easy set-up,” he said.

“The rates can be changed on the go or bumped up or down by pre-set buttons.

“It has the ability to store data on an unlimited number of jobs with details such as paddock name and sowing information.

“With its USB port you can transfer this data to a desktop computer.”

PFG Australia distributes Aitchison machinery to Shepparton's Goulburn Valley Ag, Echuca CIH and Cobram Rural.
