“The BioDrill really changes my Rapid, almost like a new seed drill“
Accessories Rapid
Versatility is key
The 3 or 4m wide box seed drill Rapid 300-400, is available either as the seed-only version Rapid 300-400S or as the combi version Rapid 300-400C. Thanks to its versatility the machine is able to handle multiple crops, grass leys and cover crops, as well as micro granulates or slug pellets. You benefit from reliable results and a modern design, allowing easy access throughout the machine.
Upgrade kit low lift sensor
To improve the functionality, efficiency and performance of the low lift feature, a linear sensor has been developed to fit as an upgrade option for the Rapid box drills from s/n 16001-.
The linear sensor has higher accuracy for controlling the seeds on/off metering separately from changing the low lift position.
The kit mounts on the frame and wheel suspension beam, and consist of a linear sensor and plates with fasteners.
