BioDrill on Swift offers new possibilities

Väderstad tine cultivator Swift BioDrill

– We have noticed an increased focus on catch crops and cover crops, as well as easy establishment of oil seeds. BioDrill BDA 360 on Swift opens new possibilities where this kind of seeding can be carried out in the same pass as the cultivation, says Bernt Mårtensson, Concept Developer at Väderstad.

The pneumatic BioDrill BDA 360 can establish small seeds with precision down to a rate of 1kg/ha. To ensure an even distribution over the whole working width, BioDrill BDA 360 is equipped with the proven Fenix metering system, a powerful fan and very effective spreader plates.

– Thereby the field was ready for seeding, and all I had to do was to look at the weather reports. When the time came, we only needed one pass with our Swift 560 with BioDrill BDA 360 to complete the seeding, says the farmer Per Pålsson.
