A fully-mounted version of the GreenMaster is one of the new items on the Güttler stand at Agritechnica. This new addition has been developed with British importer, Wox Agri Services and follows the usual format of a scarifying levelling board, two rows of 12mm tines and then the trademark Güttler prism roller.
The latter actually uses the smaller 330mm and 380mm rings from the Medima as a way of reducing the weight to 3.1t for the 6.0m wide machine. But if the weight needs to be reduced even more, there is the option of using an alternating steel and synthetic ring arrangement which trims 400kg off the machine. It also potentially opens the door for an even wider version in the future.
Seeder wise, the new GreenMaster can be fitted with a 410- or 660-litre hopper with hydraulic driven fan. Güttler has now added the option of ISObus control form the tractor or a separate compatible control box.
On the Tine Seeder System version which uses seed pipes behind each tine, there is now the option of a double manifold. This allows users to quickly switch from sending seed down the coulter to broadcasting to suit different crops and conditions. There are other options too such as blockage sensors and variable rate being added to the updated seeder range.
Price wise, a 6.0m fully-mounted GreenMaster with the 410l hopper is in the region of £37,000.
Another machine Wox has very much had a hand in developing is a seeder version of the SeedMaxx ultra shallow cultivator. As a weed germinating harrow, this has been on the market for several years now. When set at 2cm, it is able to move all of the soil when fitted with the wider goose foot points, but the 12.5cm spacing and 40mm point lends itself to being used as a tine drill. Helper springs are already on the harrow to help ensure it maintains its shallow cultivation depth.
Add a front hopper and two in-house developed distribution heads and you have yourself a tine seeder. The tines are spread across five rows as standard, but this can be increased to seven for better trash flow. At the rear there is the option of a following harrow or prism ring roller, while depth wheels at the front do their part in keeping things precise. The SuperMaxx seed drill will be available in 6.0m and 7.0m widths.
When it comes to cost, the 6.0m version with five rows of tines is £25,300 with the seeding kit adding £12,000 including the tungsten points. You then need to add a front hopper, something Wox is hoping to develop itself in the near future.
