In agriculture, time is a key element.Each work must be done at the right time and at the most favorable conditions in order to obtain the desired target.Due to the weather impredictability, each farmer well knows that the time used to complete a work could be determinant.

The name chosen for the new high speed planting technology that will equip the GASPARDO planters is CHRONO, from chronos, time in Greek.

The CHRONO element allows to finish planting operations efficiently and to set the work speed according to the type of seeds and soil conditions.It also allows to use those moments that would be insufficient with traditional machines.

Fast, but without compromising precision that made GASPARDO famous worldwide, CHRONO element will be presented at AGRITECHNICA 2017.

MAIN FEATURES

SEED HOPPER new design, with low loading open (-15 cm compared to actual)

Innovative SEED METER with electric drive

SEED TRANSPORT PNEUMATIC SYSTEM:Shots the seed to soil

SEED PRESS WHEELself-cleaning, in soft rubber: it catches the seed exactly in the point of the contact with the soil

Rear positioned MICROGRANULATORfor easier filling

5

MAIN FEATURES

The lowered height of the CHRONO element (115 cm) allows an easy filling operation of the seed hopper.

Integrated BRUSHLESS ELECTRIC MOTOR

SEED SENSOR integrated in the seed tube

SEED PRESS WHEEL:the seed leaves in a tangential direction respect to the rotor so it is crushed immediately on the soil. The material and shape of the wheel ensure that the wheel is always clean even with damp ground

EJECTOR: for seed pneumatic transport: it makes the seed fall insensitive to vibration

MAIN FEATURES

TILTED SEED METER: it enhances the seed fall without rebounds
