Designing a new seeder frame from scratch was always going to be a big job but it has allowed us to incorporate some key features that our customers have been asking for over the past few years. The main objective was to build a seeder frame that was able to hydraulically lift up around 1m higher than the standard bar to allow for easier access to the row units . With the new HI LIFT frame the operator now has 1,600mm of under-bar clearance and has lifted up the row units to a very comfortable height to work on, making maintenance and adjustment faster, easier and safer. The second key point was to have the ability to have the frame be built with either two or three ranks of row units which could then allow row spacing down to 150mm without compromising trash clearance. By adding the option for a third row has given us the ability to offer a slightly narrower row spacing whilst keeping the units open enough to work on easily. Finally the third key point was it needed to be built with the strength and weight for penetration that our Ultisow seeders are renown for. The new Hi LIFT frame is designed using strong 9mm thick steel which is powder coated using a 3 stage process ensuring that the frame lasts a life time. It also has 3m CTF wheel centres as standard, can come with or without a rolling bar, and has a wide range of row spacings available so it is a very flexible machine.
