Seeding unit
The seeding unit is used on plowed or mulched soils. The seeding unit includes the grain singling unit, the seed hopper and the seeding coulter. The seed placement depth and the seeding coulter pressure can be adjusted. The seeding coulter is guided over the soil with the depth control wheel. The cutting disks clear plant residues out of the seed furrow area. Together with the furrow former, the cutting disks shape the seed furrow. The singled seed grains are caught by the catch roller and pressed into the bottom of the furrow for good soil contact. Depending on the machine equipment the seed furrow will either be closed by a press roller or the V-press rollers.

Depending on machine equipment, the fertilizer application point can be changed over with a switch 3. Thus, the fertilizer can be applied in the fertilizer furrow 2 or in the seed conveyor 1. The exhaust air 4 is dissipated near the ground.
