From following the ground to closing the trench, explore the ND-60 row unit, metering system, and available planting options.
Spring-loaded row units independently follow the contours of the terrain. This design maintains consistent down pressure and seed placement across changing ground conditions, helping provide uniform depth and reliable seed-to-soil contact.
The 16-inch lead coulter cuts through heavy canopy and surface litter ahead of the planting disc, creating a clean, consistent groove for the row unit to follow. This helps the planting disc penetrate the soil cleanly while providing a consistent path for accurate seed placement.
The double-ribbed press wheel closes the seed trench by pinching soil over and around the seed. It provides consistent seed-to-soil contact while helping secure the seed in place for uniform emergence.
Gauge wheels provide adjustable planting depth from 0 to 3 inches, so you can set the depth to match your application. A turnbuckle on the closing wheel provides infinite adjustment of closing pressure for precise control of seed trench closure.
Four sets of seed plates come standard: 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 inch. This range allows you to plant a wide variety of seed types, including cereal grains, brassicas, legumes, grasses, mixes, and blends.
Custom seed plates are available to match your specific seed and planting requirements. Rows can also be blocked off to accommodate different row configurations and planting applications.
The optional corn plate kit converts the MULTI-drill into a two-row planter with 27-inch spacing for planting corn or sunflowers.
A 12V power supply from the tow vehicle operates the electric motor and actuator. A pistol-grip on/off controller lets you control planting directly from the seat.
When switched on, the agitator rotates to maintain a consistent flow of seed while the actuator opens the seed plate for planting. When switched off, the agitator stops and the actuator closes the seed plate.
The optional auxiliary hopper adds a second independent seed box, allowing you to plant two different seeds at two different rates in a single pass.
The main hopper can be used alone for a wide variety of seed types and mixes. The auxiliary hopper adds the convenience of applying two different seeds in one pass rather than making separate passes for each.
