Chrono speeds up corn planting
7 more precision farming products and kit upgrades
In our regular new products section, our editorial team uncover 7 technological developments from around the world that can help improve farm productivity.
Chrono is Maschio Gaspardo’s newest tech- nology for high speed planting. Vacuum precision planters with the Chrono meter- ing unit feature an electrical transmission and a pressurised seed delivery system. It enables this planter to operate at 15 km/h with maximum planting accuracy. The ad- justable pneumatic air flow transports seeds from the metering unit to the seed- ing furrow without vibrations or bouncing in the seeding tube. The seed transport air flow is adjustable and it can be set accord- ing to seed type and working speed. This Chrono solution is accurate with any type of seed, says Maschio Gaspardo. It is to en- sure perfect seed placement even when the working speed is low or with small seeds. The seed sensor collects instant data about population, distance and singulation efficiency. The operator can adjust the planting parameters directly from the trac- tor’s Isobus monitor or by using an addi- tional monitor. Maschio Gaspardo will start production late 2019.
