Products - 870 Belt Drills

Used all over the world the 870 is the market leading belt planter. With a 7 speed pulley drive courtesy of adjustable height landwheels, the 870 can work on the flat or bed setups. Available from 2 rows up to 18 rows and capable of multiline planting, the 870 is robust, scalable and adaptable for every seed type.

The metering unit accurately places seed in the ground with the minimum of damage as every moving part is rubber covered. Seeds in the hopper fall past the choke A which regulates the quantity of seed in the chamber. The seed belt B is rotated clockwise by the drive wheel C while the repeller wheel D rotates anticlockwise to remove excess seed away from the holes in the belt only allowing the required amount to drop through at the end of the spring base E . The seed drop into the bottom of the furrow is only 25mm minimising bounce or roll of the seeds.
