Oil Drill

Oil Seed Rape Establishment System

The oil drill is a purpose built tool for the establishment of oil seed rape. It utilises the proven principles of the Micro-Wing Tine and ‘Leg Zone’ press, to give minimal surface disturbance, significantly reducing the germination of grass weeds in the crop.

The new model which is fully trailed, features 10 unique Micro Wing Tines @ 600mm centres, working at a depth of 4″-6″ followed by aligned Razor Rings which localise & intensify pressing action in the moist ‘Leg Zone’ only.

Ahead of each tine is cutting disc, which eases the way for the tine, giving less surface disturbance & allowing tines to run cleaner, each disc Is individually mounted on a rubber suspension unit.

Rape seed is applied directly behind the tines, and can be combined with a micro nutrient if desired. The Razor Ring ‘Leg Zone’ press follows, which focuses consolidation over the seedbed areas ensuring consistent seed depth & cover-age with nominal moisture loss. Slug pellets can be applied in the cultivated zone only.

Fitted with Techneat Terracast Duo for Rape Seed and Micro Nutrient application and Techneat V2 Terracast for slug pellet application behind ‘Leg Zone’ press.

Tyre size 400/60-15.5.
