Additional info
The low draught tines on the Eco S provide a truly low cost establishment, whilst a seed and fertiliser kit allows for granular fertiliser placement. The machine use a leading cutting disc for use in the 25cm row configuration for drilling into cover crops and a banded coulter is an option on any row width for spreading seed in 100mm bands. A self-cleaning steel press wheel controls seed depth, and its wide design is said to be suited to wet conditions. The machine is lightweight – coming in at just 1,750kg – and requires a measly 75hp to operate, so users can minimise compaction.
