The Belarusian company "AMKODOR" has started testing a new-generation seeder

21.04.2021. In the farms of the Dzerzhinsk district of the Minsk region, the AMKODOR "VERAS-12000" grain pneumatic seeder is being tested, the press service of AMKODOR, the holding's management company, reported. "The seeder with a working width of 12 m is designed for sowing a wide variety of crops-from cereals and legumes to cruciferous and grasses. It is aggregated with tractors of traction class 5.0, with a capacity of 300 hp. The design takes into account the possibility of using the most modern methods of land use, including technologies that will be used in the future. So we can say with good reason that in the modern world this is the most advanced sowing unit that meets the high standards for agricultural machinery for this purpose, " the press service said.


The machine is equipped with a new generation of electric seeding machines. They maintain a high accuracy of the seeding rate in a fairly wide range (from 2 to 350 kg / ha). The drill is also equipped with a stepless system for setting the seeding depth (ranging from 1 to 8 cm), a system for changing the pressure of the coulters on the soil (from 20 to 80 kg). All this allows you to maintain the required seeding depth in a variety of working conditions. In the extended configuration, the seeder can be equipped with a navigation auto-control system that provides parallel driving of the unit across the field with an accuracy of 10-12 cm.

"To get the maximum yield for farmers, it is important to carry out sowing in the most optimal time, when the soil contains enough moisture and fast, uniform application of seeds ensures their uniform germination. The AMKODOR "VERAS-12000" seeder provides, in addition to high planting accuracy, also a productivity of more than 12 hectares per hour, " the press service stressed.

After the tests are completed, AMKODOR will be ready to provide Belarusian farmers with new seeders, and this will happen this year.
