Väderstad Proceed drill: The road to precision
Would you like to run just the one drill that can be used to plant everything, from sugar beet to maize, to cereals? And what if each coulter was carried on a parallelogram for consistent depth control, featured precise seed singling and could also put fertiliser down the spout … all in one pass?
Väderstad is well on the way to offering such a drill, and we were able to catch up with one of the prototype concepts this autumn. It is still at least two years away from going on sale, but here's a brief outline of what it has to offer.
Many of the main components have already appeared on other Väderstad machines. For instance, the 3,000-litre pressurised hopper is the same unit as used on the Central Fill Tempo we looked at in the last issue of profi. The seeder units are also borrowed from the Tempo, but these are now spread across two rows to give the closer row spacing demanded by cereal growers.
