Air seed drill SPARTAN II 607

Built around tried and tested components and technologies such as the well-proven zone cultivation design of Great Plains’ 07 Series opener, the second generation SpartanII incorporates a wide range of new and improved features. Perhaps the most significant change to the Spartan is a complete rework of the drill’s seed tower configuration. The new patented system utilizes half the number of towers and all of them are mounted on the center section. Primary and secondary hose diameters have increased by 20% for improved seed distribution and air flow. Significantly shortened hose lengths from meter to tower and faster variable-rate shut-off from the cab reduce spillage around headland turns. Other improvements have been made with ease-of-use very much in mind, including seed calibration located at the rear of the machine, easier access to weight brackets, improved on-road handling, and a new variable-rate hydraulic drive. The SpartanII retained many important features as well: zonal cultivation and seeding, impressive opener down pressure for true no-till seeding, hydraulic weight transfer, and excellent ground contour following. The SpartanII is available with a single seed-only 5280-liter hopper or two 2885-liter hoppers for seed/dry fertilizer applications. The new 6m-working-width SpartanII 607 can be specified with 40 or 32 rows, giving row spacings of 15cm and 18.75cm respectively.
