Let's go through the main functions and features of the AD140 direct drill.
Machine Options
Increase the versatility of your AD140 with a range of machine options including bean rollers, coulters, road kit, harrows, small seeds box, presswheels, rear-tow hitch, and more.
Independent roller rings allow the Flexi-Roller to follow the contours of the earth, providing maximum ground contact and ensuring the best possible seedbed finish.
The gang of solid rubber tyres press firmly into the ground following seeding with enough weight to distribute the gentle compaction evenly across flat paddocks.
Step through this guide to set up your machine and verify your sowing rate before heading to the paddock.
