New Twin Seeder Is
Ideal For Cover Crops
 ✖  |
Denis Doyle says his company is producing a fully integrated twin seeder because customers of other products they make want to sow two types of seeds in one pass. Doyle introduced the new machine at Agritechnica 2023 in Germany. Design Engineer Martin Page says that prototype testing of the seeder has gone well, and the company is hoping to have production units available by the second quarter of 2024.
One farmer observing the display unit said the company put a lot of thought into the technology to make multi-seed planting easy. The muti-seeder has two hoppers with independent metering rolls, each powered by an electric motor connected by a unique timing pulley arrangement. The meters have different roller options for different seed types and can be calibrated individually for extremely accurate planting rates in all conditions. Seed is delivered by a high-output hydraulic-driven fan.
For operation, the seeder requires a 20A electrical hookup and hydraulics with a 40L/min. flow rate. Planting calibration is done on a touch panel.
At Agritechnica, Doyle displayed a seeder with a 170L (45 gal.) capacity in each hopper. A twin 400L (105 gal.) option is available, and Page says they plan to produce other units with 270L (70 gal.) capacity. The larger seeders, depending on fan size, could accommodate 16m to 18m (50 to 60 ft.) seeding widths. Contact the manufacturer for pricing and availability. The company is actively looking for a North American distributor.
