Mechanical drive air seeder revamp

Revamps to mechanical drive air seeders bring extra benefits at no extra cost


At the LAMMA Show, OPICO is launching new and improved versions of its mechanical drive Variocast 8 seeder and Air 8 seeder. They now benefit from a larger hopper (180litres), and a new control box which receives feedback from three new sensors on the hopper. These alert the operator when seed level is low, if there is a fault with the metering drive, or an airflow problem. These improvements come at no extra cost: the price of the mechanical drive Variocast 8 seeder remains at £4456, and the Air 8 seeder at £4776.

The new features of the mechanical drive seeders are already present on the electric drive versions. However, the hopper on both these models has also been re-designed, giving them a greater capacity and a more modern look.

The costs of the electric drive seeders also remain the same: the Variocast 8 is £6664 and Air 8 seeder, £7072.  For more information, contact OPICO on 01778 421111 or visit the website www.opico.co.uk
