You can also mount wheels (4 – Pict. 32) with a
different width, of 1’ and of 2’ ; the first ones are
good for an hard soil.

EVOLUTION) (Pict.33)
MASCAR press-seed wheel located beside the
pipe for the seed fall pipe, leads the seed in the
sowing channel, in order to grant a better contacta
between seed and soil.

The press-seed whell has been used for years in
the crops and sugarbeet sowing.
MASCAR has made this concepì suitable also for

by inserting a press seed wheel with
a big diameter.
This sowing “concept” allows a better growing up,
by avoiding air bubbles, which could come out
after closure of the sowing channel. Moreover the
“continuos” dinamic regulation of wheel allows to
set the seed at constant depth and to have better
sowing conditions.
The use of the press seed wheel is suitable for
sowing on very dry soils, because it grants a good
contact between seed and soil along all the row.
It i salso possibile to set up the press seed wheel
pressure in combination with the width press seed
wheel, as forecast in the paragraph 4.6.3.
Advantages of sowing with the press seed wheel
can be so shortly listed:
- “Constant” dinamic regualtion of the wheel
depth;
- Optimal growing up
- Better conditions of seed laying
-
- Better contact “Soil – Seed”.
It is also possibile to exclude the press-seed
wheel in conditions, where wetness, kind of soil
(etc, etc..), could create conditions not suitable for
its use.
4.6.4 PRESS-SEED WHEL
REGULATION (Pict.34)
Concordino with the kinds of soil and with the
sowing needs, there could be the need of more or
less presure on the wheel in combination with the
balancing system of the coverseeds wheels.
Regulation of press-seed wheel depth is dinamic
and “continuos” thank to the balancing system
actively adjustable with the channel edge,
prepared by the depth disks, moreover the
pressure of the press-seed wheel is actively
regulated in combination with the coverseed
wheels.
Picture 34 – PRESS-SEED WHEEL
The press-seed wheel pressure on the seed (1-
fig.34) is adjustable by operating on the lever (2-
fig. 34) setting it on the gear on the cover-seed
wheels support.
