Direct drill available in four versions

The Virkar direct drill imported by Samagri Ltd is now available in four versions, the DC (Disc & Coulter), D (Disc), C (Coulter) and DD (Double Disc).

All use the same modular chassis, seed hopper and distribution equipment, and all variants come in 4.5, 5,6, and 7m working widths with the option of 19cm or 25cm row widths. The seed hopper is 5,300 litres as standard or 7,000 litres optional. Both can be seed only or seed and fertiliser, with a third hopper also an option.

All drills are standard semi-mounted with rear steering axle for increased manoeuvrability, and slope compensation. Independent sowing elements on all versions come with 35cm of travel for true contour following, and up to 280kg of coulter pressure.

DC: A leading disc works 2cm below the seeding coulter to cut through trash and create a tilth for the seed to be placed on. The slot is then closed by two rubber press wheels.

D: Has a single disc with large rubber depth wheel followed by two closing wheels.

C: Has a 15mm wide coulter followed by two rubber closing wheels.

DD: A “unique” design. Rather than row cleaners in front of the single disc, a turbo disc runs directly in front of the single seeding disc, so even in the highest volumes of crop residue, the turbo disc and seeding disc remain free of substantial crop residue.
