Brief description
Aquila - the trailer drilling machine for mulch
sowing and mulching/direct sowing. This compact
version of the machine combines extra-lightweight
frame construction with a carefully-balanced centre
of gravity. The operating widths are 3 m, 4.50 m
or 6 m. With its MegaDrill, Ceria, MegaSeed and
Aquila units, Rabe now offers a new range of seed-
drill machines designed to cover the needs of both
conventional seeding and mulch sowing.
The front of the Aquila is fi tted with a Field Bird
two-row disc mulcher (5.1/1). The tyre-mounted
packing roller (5.1/2) (Ø 780x264) running behind
it covers the entire operating width of the machine.
This ensures that the sowing coulters (5.1/3) have
a smoothly-levelled and fi rm surface to sow on.
A hydraulic system lowers an integrated twin-tyre
running mechanism for the packing roller to allow
transport by road.
The mulch-sowing coulters are a particularly
reliable combination of tilling coulter (5.1/4) and
trailing coulter with 12.5 cm line clearance. Maxi-
mum coulter pressure is 80 kg. A wide, trailing
pressure roller (5.1/5) with soft rubber tyres reliably
guides each of the two coulters to the required
depth in a parallelogram pattern. This machine
makes running speeds of about 15 km/h with
consistently high operating accuracy a practical
possibility.
The centrally-located seed hopper has a volume of
approx. 3000 litres. The large opening (2.50 long)
with hinged fl ap and wide loading platform ensure
easy fi lling from a front-loader shovel, worm feed
or Big Bag.
The Artemis electronic module controls the dosing
system and tramline settings, while monitoring all
important machine functions.
