Delmade's APV Seeders: Precision Seeding Solutions for Autumn Planting
Jan 30, 2024 Posted by Stewart Knight
Are you gearing up for autumn sowing and in need of a fast, precise way to distribute seed? Consider an APV seeding unit from Delmade.
These seeding units operate seamlessly, with the main seed tank directing seed into an electronic metering unit, which transfers the seed into an air chamber. The air facilitates seed distribution through hoses into the seed head units, ensuring a uniform and even distribution of seed regardless of weather conditions.
For precision seeding, Delmade offers APV seeders fitted with either a wheel and linkage sensor kit or a GPS kit. If you have an ISOBUS ready tractor you can connect to the ISOBUS with no extra screen in the cab required.
Delmade offers a comprehensive range of seeders with tank options designed for different applications. From a 300 litre polyethylene tank ideal for small to medium operations to a robust 800 litre steel unit with a hydraulic fan ideal for larger operations and contracting.
300 Litre
The 300 litre is a small light weight unit suitable for all types of seed. It has the same seed metering as larger units but with a versatile, light weight it is best suited to small /medium operations where it can be mounted on different machines with ease.
500 Litre
Stepping up in size, the 500 litre unit caters to larger holdings and contractors. Whether sowing lupins or peas, this machine offers flexibility with the option of an electric or hydraulic fan, each tailored for specific working width ranges. An electric fan is suitable for up to 6 meters of working width, whereas a hydraulic driven fan is suited to up to 7/12 meters of working width subject to conditions.
800 Litre
The heavyweight in the lineup, the 800 litre unit, boasts a steel hopper and a hydraulic fan. With 16 outlets and a working width of up to 12 meters, it handles both small and large seeds with ease. Additionally, its storage spot allows for an extra seeding shaft, should you need to sow a different variety of seed.
Mount Options
Delmade provide a variety of brackets and mounting kits that offer flexibility for installing APV Boxes on various implements and also for mounting on the 3 point linkage. Whether you're using a speed tiller or cultivator for post-harvest seeding, or a flat roller to thicken pasture and resow cattle pugs, the options are limitless.
So, depending on whether you're a small operator or a contractor requiring the capacity to carry large volumes of seed, there is a unit tailored to every application. For smaller paddocks with seed like grass/ rape or other fine seed then a 300-litre electric fan is ideal. However, if you need to sow large areas with seeds like peas or lupins then an 800 litre unit with a hydraulic fan will be best suited to your needs.
