Northern Irish-based machinery manufacturer Erth Engineering has been planning an agriseeder for a number of years. Up until now, this direct drill has been limited to a 3m working width. The firm is set to unveil a new 4m folding version at this year’s Ploughing in Carlow.
The new 32-row 4m folding, galvanised unit will have 125mm row spacings, with row widths of 7mm. Units can be fitted with front and rear harrow options, as well as double-entry coulters for fertiliser application.
The drill weighs in at 2,250kg, with the option of adding weights to the main frame for increased downward pressure. Either mechanical or electrical seed-metering units are available.

It has a 400l seed hopper fitted as standard, but larger options are available.
Erth Engineering will be bringing a new 4m agriseeder to the Ploughing.
The firm will also be showcasing its arable and grassland range of panbusters. These machines have hydraulic resets that allow break-back pressure to be varied to suit different conditions. The grassland version has spring-loaded discs that cut a neat slot through the sod, and a special rubber, mounted main pivot that allows the leg to oscillate sideways around obstacles. A tooth packer allows for depth control. A hydraulically adjustable rear-roller comes with an indicator.
The company will also be unveiling a new 3m grass front harrow with hydraulic levelling paddles. This machine folds up to 2.6m for road transport.
