John Shearer have recently brought out two heavier seeders with sowing widths of 3m and 3.5m and offering 3 options with tines with lucerne points; tines with mini ‘T’ boots or Double Disc Openers. Spacing is available for the 3m model at 127mm (5″) becoming a 23 row drill or 155mm (6″) spacing becoming a 19 row drill and the 3.5m drill only offers 155mm (6″) spacing being a 23 row drill. These drills offer large capacity grain and fertiliser hoppers (523 litres for seed in front and 640 litres for fertiliser at the rear for the 3m drill and 610 litres for seed in front and 746 litres for fertiliser at the rear for the 3m drill.
These drills are designed to have the wheels at the rear of the machine as opposed to on the side of the drills as in other models.
