2024 Maschio Gaspardo Maria S

The result of GASPARDO's experience in the sector, S MARIA and SC MARIA are characterised by ease of use, reliability, strength and versatility, thanks to the possibility of being able to sow even on minimally tilled soils. Based on a mounted or trailed frame, the latter available on request, they are available with a working width from 8.2 to 13.1 ft with a maximum of 28 rows, ideal for sowing cereals and rapeseed.

S MARIA and SC MARIA models are characterised by being extremely compact seed drills thanks to the proximity to each other of all the main units such as the hopper, the distribution system and the furrowing elements. The HEAVY DUTY machine setting is emphasised by the high ground clearance of the frame and the arrangement of the coulters on three rows, which ensure sufficient spacing to avoid clogging of the soil and possible crop residue.

The 3-cam continuously variable transmission in oil bath, with inspection window, ensures constant and uniform motion transmission. Thanks to this it is possible to vary the speed of the seed distributing groups in a fast and precise way. The use of ball bearings ensures greater wear resistance of the transmission shafts.

SC MARIA version (seed - fertilizer) allows the distribution of seed and fertilizer, with a system whereby the two products are independently controlled but distributed in the same sowing furrow, reducing operating times and costs.

To meet the needs of all farmers, S MARIA and SC MARIA are available with 3 different coulters: with tine and spring for light and residue-free soils, with simple disc for any type of soil even in the presence of crop residues and finally with double disc, ideal for heavy soils. In the single disc and Corex double disc versions, the depth adjustment wheel is also available on request.

Features may include:

The three-cam transmission in oil bath, situated on the side of the machine, transfers movement from the drive wheel to the distribution line. The seeding population can be varied from the transmission by acting on the adjustment lever calibrated on a continuous scale from 1 to 55.

The nozzle closing blades have three positions to adjust the quantity of seed coming out of the hopper.

SC version allows to spread seed and fertilizer at the same time. The distributors, independent of each other, direct their respective products within the same delivery tube and therefore within the same furrow.

Three variants are available to make the machine suitable for working on any type of terrain:

Specialised planting unit for coarse, tough and stony soils. The movement of the double coil spring allows precise and safe sowing even on particularly uneven ground.

Planting unit particularly suitable on coarse, tough and stony soils with little presence of crop residue. The adjustable load spring allows the unit to adapt to different bed conditions, optimizing the sowing depth.

Suitable for all types of soil even with plenty of residue. Constant control of the seeding depth by means of an adjustable limiter or rubber wheel. The slight pressure exerted on the seed promotes rapid germination.
