Advancing agricultural efficiency with direct drills
22nd October 2024
Mzuri explains why its Pro-Til and iPass drills are integral tools in modern agriculture, delivering efficiency, precision and sustainability.
Mzuri Ltd has established itself as a leading provider of advanced agricultural machinery, particularly through its range of direct drills.
Among the most notable products in its portfolio are the Pro-Til and iPass drills, which have been designed to enhance crop establishment while reducing environmental impact and operational costs.
The Pro-Til series represents Mzuri’s flagship model, offering versatility and high performance across various soil conditions, the company says. The Pro-Til is engineered for single-pass operations, integrating seedbed preparation, seeding, and fertilisation into one process. This integration not only reduces the number of field passes required but also preserves soil structure and moisture.
The Pro-Til is available in working widths ranging from 3–6m, making it suitable for a wide range of operations.
Key features of the Pro-Til include independent pivoting coulter arms, which allow for precise seed placement at the optimal depth, and an individual press wheel system that improves seed-to-soil contact, thereby enhancing germination rates.
In addition to the Pro-Til, Mzuri offers the iPass drill, designed for high-output efficient low disturbance seeding. The iPass is equipped with self-steering coulter arms to follow ground contours with excellent seed to soil contact achieved by hydraulic pressure exerted to each individual seed depth wheel.
Additionally, the iPass features an advanced metering system capable of handling a wide range of seed types and sizes and a high capacity 5,000-litre tank, making it a versatile tool for diverse cropping systems.
Both the Pro-Til and iPass drills exemplify Mzuri’s commitment to promoting sustainable agricultural practices, the company reckons. By reducing the number of necessary field passes, the Mzuri system lowers fuel consumption and decrease carbon emissions, thereby contributing to more environmentally friendly farming operations.
In summary, Mzuri says its Pro-Til and iPass drills are integral tools in modern agriculture, delivering precision, efficiency, and sustainability to farming practices worldwide.
