740A Drill : Product Overview

If tillage is always in your plans, the 740A Double Disc Air Drill may be the machine for you.

It accurately seeds into fields with as much as 40 percent residue cover. Disc blades are offset to slice smoothly through tough soil and clods. Plus, outstanding depth gauging press wheels provide accurate depth of seeding, while providing good seed-to-soil contact.

The 740A is available in 3 working widths up to 9 metres.

A 3500 Litre hopper (2300 Litre on the 6 metre model) keeps refilling to a minimum.

All three models come with standard brakes and transport width within 3 metres for road transport.

• Accurate seeding with precise depth control in Conventional Till and Minimum Till operations.
• Double Disc openers cut clean furrows. Blades are off-set 6 mm to penetrate hard soil and slice through residue.
• Openers are staggered, improving residue flow.
• Depth gauging press wheels control furrow depth and promote good seed-to-soil contact.

• "Active" hydraulic down pressure enables cylinders to extend or retract as openers encounter uneven ground, keeping seeding depth consistent for uniform emergence.

A Monitor controls the fan, meters, drive wheels, electrical power, or hopper filling.

Select tramline rhythms or shut-off seed to half or all openers.

Metering functions include:

• Area worked (field and total).
• Area worked per hour.
• Hours worked.
• Fan and ground speed.
• Tramline rhythm and hopper reserve.
