SP Sprint

PNEUMATIC PRECISION PLANTER (corn-sunflower-soya-sugar beet) 

The SP SPRINT model is equipped with a fixed frame with variable width depending on the required number of rows and the row width. 

The SP seeding unit for precision seeding on tilled soil is the result of years of experience and development by Gaspardo. The SP seeding unit is easy to use, constantly reliable and highly accurate. The unit is available in a number of configurations and with different kinds of frames (fixed, telescoping or folding) to meet the various requirements of different crops. The unit is especially recommended for sowing on tilled soils without crop residues on the ground. The seeding furrow is made by a drill coulter and the seeding depth is set by a parallelogram system between the frame and the rear wheel, which can be adjusted by a mechanical jack. The pressure applied by the seeding unit on the ground is controlled by a spring.

The MINIMAX volumetric distributor can be easily set up and permits the delivery of a wide range of rates (from 50 to 700 kg/ha - from 55 to 770 lb/ac), maintaining high distribution accuracy.

Gaspardo proposes a wide range of frames to equip SP planter ranges: fix frames (mod. SP SPRINT), telescoping frames (mod. SARA, ST STELLA ), folding frames (SI SIMONA) and both telescoping and folding frames (mod. SILVIA). Folding models are equipped with a hydraulic system on the wings in order to follow the soil profile upward and downward.

Many configurations are available to adapt the seeding units to different soils and crops. FARMFLEX press wheels are recommended in sandy soils while in compact-dry and tough-wet soils 2” V and 1” V wheels are suggested respectively.

For small seeds (sugarbeet and rapeseed), the SP planting unit is equipped with counter-acting front and rear wheels, and rocker arm design to increase consistency of planting depth.

The vacuum metering system permits a very accurate singulation even with uneven size and irregular shaped seeds. The two singulators and the short seed drop increase the sowing accuracy.

The vacuum fun is driven by the PTO shaft as standard or it can be hydraulically driven.
