The multi-purpose seed drill impressed judges with the easy adjustment of the metering unit, the hydraulic drawbar and the innovative system for emptying the hoppers from the rear. “This allows easy and safe calibration of the seed rate and the possibility to conveniently empty both chambers of the hopper into the Big Bag,” says Jean-Hughes Henrot, sales director at DistriTECH (exclusive importer of Bednar products for Belgium).
They explain that the jury also praised the hydraulic drawbar design, which offers excellent adherence to the set working depth, easy adjustment and independent ground contouring. “The seed drill works at a standstill and the hydraulic drawvar absorbs the shock of the work,” says Jean-Hughes.
“The award confirms the efforts we put into modernising and developing our seed drills every year. Since we launched Omega seed drills, they have won over many customers looking for certain equipment features that competitors simply don’t offer. Easy calibration and the ability to quickly empty the chambers are just two of these benefits,” adds Ondřej Adamčík, product marketing manager at Bednar FMT.
Other features of the Omega OO_FL seed drill include: light design, a disc working section, and a wide range of optional equipment, including two inter-row spacing options of 12.5cm or 16.7cm. Two hoppers are divided in the ratio of 60:40, or 50:50.
