Rapid is known for its excellent depth keeping. The result is seen in an even emergence, maximising the yield potential over the entire field.
The heart of Rapid is its unique seed coulters working in cooperation with the packer wheels. Rapid has an ingenious depth control system, adjustable from the cab.
The relation between the seed discs and the packer wheel sets the maximum seeding depth, while the very high coulter pressure makes sure this never decreases. Thanks to this, Rapid is able to create an even emergence at all times.
Rapid is designed to never let factors such as shifting field conditions or high working speeds affect the seed depth. This is achieved by putting a very high pressure, from 150kg on the seed coulters, while also controlling the depth by connecting two seed coulters to one packer wheel. As a result, Rapid is able to create an even emergence at all times.
No matter if the soil is heavy, medium or light, the large OffSet mounted packer wheels will always stay on the field surface and deliver the correct seed depth. This makes Rapid the ideal choice when your soil
conditions vary and you need a seed drill to rely on. By easily setting the working depth as well as seed and
fertiliser rate from the cab, Rapid allows for a versatile precision farming, adapted according to your local
soil conditions.
By connecting two seed coulters to each packer wheel with a parallel linkage, Rapid is able to follow the ground contour. This ensures that the seeds have the same conditions for germination across the entire working width.
Each seed coulter is fitted to its own rubber suspended disc arm. Because of the heavy-duty design and high coulter pressure, the seed coulters will not release easily. In many cases Rapid presses stones down rather than altering the seed depth. If however encountering a larger stone or obstacle the seed coulter’s will quickly release and return individually. Thereby the impact on the seeding and reconsolidation result is minimised.
