The NC planter is enormously efficient.

Simplicity and durability are the key features of this outstanding metering unit for traditional tillage conditionsThe NC planter is enormously efficient.Metering unit

The NC unit is designed for use in traditional tillage conditions. The simple, heavy-duty NC Classic is ideal for planting crops such as maize and sunflower. In contrast, the NC Technic is a more versatile planter. Its modular design offers a range of opening control and furrow depth settings. Moreover, it can be used with a broad array of crops, further increasing its efficiency.

This unit combines quality metering with disc planting, resulting in optimal use of the planter over very large areas reducing its operating costs. Below are details of the NC classic planting system. The NC Technic planting system varies by model.

Microsem's primary objectives are to nurture and protect seeds.

Distributing microgranules requires just as much care and precision as planting.

Our auger-based Microsem system ensures consistent distribution of insecticides, molluscicides and even fertilizers.

Microgranules are positioned very close to seeds, protecting them from pests and providing them with all the nutrients they require for uniform shoot emergence.

Features may include:

• The clod remover clears the way for the seed line, removing any clods or stones.

• The shoe opens the furrow to a depth defined by the rear wheels.

• The 2 tilted sheet-metal rear wheels (or one 370 x 170 wheel) close the furrow around the seed for optimal germination. The rear wheels also control depth.

• In the "rear gauge" configuration, the rear closing wheel unit controls depth.

• In the "balancing system" configuration, the front wheel and rear closing wheel unit control depth. An adjustment spring is used to distribute front/rear loading until "front gauge" depth control is achieved.

• The metering box is made of cast aluminium. This means it will lose none of its accuracy over the years regardless of temperature variations.

• The wear gasket is in permanent contact with the disc. It makes the metering box leak-proof and can be replaced.

• These 1.5mm thick discs are made of stainless steel. The agitator fixed to the disc strengthens the unit. Discs are easy to change tool-free. A full range of discs is available meeting all single-seed planting requirements.

• The bronze singulator prevents any duplicates. A spring on the metering box cover holds the singulator perfectly in place against the disc for optimal metering, even with small seeds.

• The cast-iron cover is specially designed for planting with minimal seed reserves.
