Groundswell preview Overseeder requires less power – saving fuel E


xhibitors at the 2021 Ground- swell event will include JC Ma- chinery, which will showcase the Vredo range of overseeders. The event takes place on 23-24 June at Lannock Manor Farm, Hertfordshire. The Vredo Agri Twin and Air Se- ries are both renowned for their inno- vative grassland overseeding, but the addition of the award winning Crop Drill System (CDS) has made it a mar- ket first.


Now equipped with the CDS, the


machines are able to sow arable crops directly on corn stubble without any tillage at a 15cm row distance, whilst keeping the well-known grass land overseeding features and 96% germi- nation rate.


Because of this, it is the only ma-


chine capable of overseeding on grass and arable land, and since the system works through slitting instead of cul- tivating, less machine power is need- ed, saving on fuel costs. The base of the machine remains a pair of slicing disks with an inter-row distance of 7.5cm. But, to sow arable


crops deeper, every second pair of discs can be pulled higher using hydraulics, creating a sowing distance of 15cm. Soil is not disturbed, maintains its


strength and keeps the organic matter in the top layer, giving healthier crops using less chemicals and fertilisers. The seed distributors can quickly be diverted from ten to five exits to work with the pulled-up elements of the Seeder. This works with Vredo’s own pneumatic seed hopper, which can distribute very fine seed – or very large seed – evenly.


The working width of the models ranges from 2.5m to 5.8m, ensuring there is a suitable model for every sit- uation. The multi-functional machine can operate all year round, doesn’t disturb the soil and creates healthi- er crops while giving more machine hours per unit. Having the ability to carry out pro- fessional grassland and arable land management with one unit makes the new Vredo Agri Air and Agri Twin Se- ries among the most efficient on the market, claims the company.
