Grassland seeder PNEUMATICSTAR-STI

Great flexibility of use

Just a few examples of the various ways you can use the machines: re- or new seeding in grassland (1), underseeding in cereals (2) or corn (3), etc.

Perfect for under- or reseeding

The pneumatic seeders with integrated stirring-shaft are designed in such a way that each sowing tube has its own seeding wheel section to achieve perfect dosing and uniform output. For working widths wider than 6 m / 19.70 ft. the seeding hoses are split to reach 12 or 16 outlets. Machines up to 6 m / 19.70 ft. working width are standard equipped with an electric double fan. Bigger machines work with a mechanical fan as standard. A hydraulic fan is available as an option.

Electrical quantity dosage
The grassland seeder PNEUMATICSTAR-STI is equipped with the pneumatic seeder P-BOX-STI as standard. The P-BOX-STI is a pneumatic airseeder with electrical adjustment of the seeding amount. The user-friendly SPEED-TRONIC control unit regulates the seed quantity depending on the actual working speed. The necessary speed info can be obtained via several sensors or via the 7-pole signal plug of the tractor.

No rollers
To combine grassland weeders and rollers in one machine does not provide the desired effect. Even distribution of the seeds over the entire working width, which is ensured by the centrally placed deflector plates, is the key factor for good emergence of the seeds. Furthermore, the operating speed of roller and grassland weeders do not match. In case soil gets stuck to the roller, seeds which have been distributed by the weeder get stuck on it and previously sown grass is collected from the ground again. In addition, a roller establishes contact between previously torn out weeds (such as the rough stalked meadow grass) and the ground. So they will not dry out but continue to grow. Especially for reseeding and grassland care, rolling is not necessary as the roller runs on the turf and has very limited contact to the soil. For new seeding rolling can be beneficial, but it should be done in a separate operation after weeds dried out and with the optimal working speed for rolling.

Deflector plates are mounted centrally on the tine sections

The deflector plates with splash-guard are placed in the centre of each tine section. They spread the seeds before the last two rows of tine sections to establish optimal seed to soil contact.

Exact line spacing of the tines of 2.5 cm / 1”

The line spacing of exact 2.5 cm / 1” has a significant influence on the effect and quality of the operation. Tine fields with 6-rows with 60 tines on 1.5 m / 4.9 ft. fields ensure an effective and efficient weed control. A bigger distance between the tines will leave unworked strips where weeds will continue to grow and the turf will not be aerated.

Stable operation
Due to the solid and strong frame construction the operation of machine and frame is very steady, independently from the working speed. Also on hard soil the tined weeder can apply sufficient pressure on the tines without making the frame swing. In addition, the frame is designed to withstand heavy loads and many seasons of operation without any problems.

Exact tine position and movement
The tines are fixed against rotation by sturdy plastic holders on the tine fields. This guarantees a tine that is aligned exactly in the working direction. The  spring of the tine is mounted freely below the tine holder. This improves the vibration of the tine and guarantees the movement of the tine by the spring. A breaking of the tine is almost excluded since the movement of the tine is not limited.
 

Tine aggressivity quickly adjustable via central adjustment lever

The aggressivity of the spring loaded tines on the grassland care machine can be adjusted as required via one central adjustment lever per tine section in 5 positions between ''dragging'' or ''on grip''.

Guaranteed equal tine aggressiveness over the entire working width

The tine tube is torsion-resistant and guarantees the same tine position and the same tine aggressiveness over the entire frame length. This is particularly important in hard soil conditions.

Compact Retraction
Even machines with a working width of 12 m / 39.4 ft. and 15 m / 49.2 ft. can be folded to a transport width of only 3 m / 9.8 ft. Machines with a working width of 4.5 to 9 m / 14.8 - 29.5 ft. the side wings of the main frame are folded upwards for transport. 9 m / 29.5 ft. machines can be equipped with a double-fold system and a heavy-duty construction, from 12 m / 39.4 ft. this is standard. On all versions a hitching very closely to the tractor is ensured.

Stronger construction from 9 m / 29.5 ft. working width

A larger working width means greater forces acting on a machine. The triangular bracing on machines with shear folding prevents the side wings from swinging and jumping even at higher working speeds. The tine aggressivity can be adjusted depending on the conditions.

Increased vibration-effect due to special tine holder

Tine 490 mm / 19.3” long, Ø 7 mm / 0.28“

This universal tine with a diameter of 7 mm / 0.28“ and a length of 490 mm / 19.3“ is optimal for middle to hard soils. With this tine length, soil unevenness can be perfectly compensated.

Rubber support wheels for gently operation

Depending on the working width, the grassland- and reseeding weeders are guided by two or four rubber support wheels. Via the support wheels the working depth of the tines is regulated. They are height-adjustable in the half-hole grid.

Stop bar for perfect soil adaption
By taking away or demounting the stop bar on the wing (only on machines without shear folding) the machine follows the contours of the land surface perfectly.
 

Mechanical locking in transport position
Frames on machines without shear folding lock mechanically in transport position. The lock is released via a pulling-rope.
(only on machines without shear folding)

Tine section holders protected by plastic

Hard plastic protection at the connection between the tine section and its holders prevents wear of the steel components and ensures that they do not harm each other. They also ensure good guidance of the tine section, while still allowing adjustment to the terrain.

Hydraulic tine adjustment – perfect in changing soil conditions

The hydraulic tine adjustment makes adjustment to the GRASS-MANAGER in changing soil conditions easier. Furthermore, folding to the transport position is more convenient as you can easily put the tines into a flat position. The hydraulic tine adjustment can be retrofitted any time.

Area specific seeding with the "ProActive Sensor from Isaria"

To be able to adjust the seeding rate specifically to certain sub-areas (e.g. for grassland reseeding), the STI control is compatible with Isaria's ProActive Sensor. The two sensor heads of the Isaria ProActive sensor system are integrated in the frame on the front hitch of the tractor. They detect and analyse the crop; on this basis the correct seeding rate for the respective area is precisely determined and adjusted by the STI terminal of the seeding unit.

Levelling plate for excellent distribution and levelling of mole hills

In front of the weeder sections a levelling plate can be mounted, which is overload-protected by a leaf spring. This levelling plate is height adjustable and ensures an excellent distribution and levelling of mole hills. In addition, it distributes and levels manure and slurry. (Only up to 6 m working width and for 900 SR and 1200 SR, not in combination with hydraulic tine adjustment)

Tines 490 mm / 19.3“ long, Ø 10 mm / 0.39“ instead of standard tine

For heavily matted grassland or for middle to hard soil conditions, the tines with a diameter of 10 mm / 0.39" and a length of 490 mm / 19.3" should be used. These grassland tines are also ideal when used to control meadow panicle in summer.

(Only available for frame version SR & PRO)

Tine 490 mm / 19.3“ long, Ø 8 mm / 0.31“

In case of middle matted grassland or middle soil conditions, the tines with a diameter of 8 mm / 0.31" and a length of 490 mm / 19.3" are preferable. These tines are also the most used.

Tine 490 mm / 13.9” long STRAIGHT, Ø 8 mm / 0.31”

For stony soil, in order not to bring stones to the surface, we recommend the straight tines with a diameter of 8 mm / 0.31” and a length of 490 mm / 19.3”. Tines adjusted “dragging“ protect the turf in wet grassland.

Warning signs with LED-lights
For this grassland seeder warning signs are also available for the front and rear. (Symbol image - options vary depending on the design).

Plastic tank
Instead of the standard steel tank, a 265 l plastic tank can be installed. This corrosion-resistant design plastic tank is made of the highest quality materials and is thus extremely durable and unbreakable.
