Fixed-frame coulter precision planter with fertilizer and microgranule options

Fixed-frame coulter precision planter with fertilizer and microgranule options

This profile defines a sourcing requirement for fixed-frame coulter precision planter. Suitable suppliers, origin, availability, and commercial terms are confirmed for the buyer’s project. The sourcing brief is structured around capacity, application, operating environment, required standards, destination, and delivery scope; the exact configuration requires supplier confirmation.

The fixed-frame coulter precision planter is configured from two to twelve rows for maize, sunflower, sugar beet, cotton, soybean, and other compatible seeds. Coulter openers, crop-specific seed discs, adjustable row spacing, fertilizer placement, microgranule metering, vacuum generation, monitoring, transport equipment, and tractor matching are selected as one engineered package.

Reading the family specification

The planter is configured by row count, row spacing, transport width, operating weight, tyre package, seed and fertilizer hopper capacity, and tractor power. A representative four-row arrangement uses 70–75 cm or 90 cm spacing, approximately 300 cm transport width, about 670 kg minimum weight, and 60–70 hp indicated power; a fertilizer-equipped four-row arrangement is approximately 880 kg. Final values follow the selected frame, hopper package, soil, slope, and tractor.

The equipment package can include coulter row units, crop-specific seed discs, PTO-driven fan, area counter, and hydraulic markers, with optional microgranule metering, seed-monitoring sensors, transport or trailed kits, hydraulic fan, and larger fertilizer hoppers. Required tractor power can vary by roughly ±20% with soil resistance, terrain, ballast, operating speed, vacuum demand, and tractor configuration.

Field fit and acceptance

Define crop, seed size distribution, treatment/coating, target population, row spacing, field residue, tillage system, soil texture, slope, tractor linkage and hydraulic/PTO capacity. Ask for the metering mechanism and singulation adjustment, available seed discs, downforce and depth control, fertilizer placement, microgranule calibration, fan requirements, row shutoff or monitor options and transport compliance. Check total loaded mass and axle/linkage limits rather than using empty weight alone.

A field acceptance test should measure skips, doubles, within-row spacing, depth, emergence uniformity, fertilizer rate, seed damage, turning/headland operation and calibration repeatability at several realistic speeds. Record soil moisture and seed lot so results are reproducible. Obtain operator and parts manuals, lubrication and wear schedule, critical spares, service tooling, warranty, assembly/commissioning and export packing.

Field-level singulation, skips, doubles, seed-spacing variation, maximum operating speed, hectare capacity, fuel demand, durability, and wear-part life are defined with the selected seed, disc, soil, target population, and field acceptance protocol. Price, lead time, warranty, and service scope are documented in the project quotation.

Procurement and project delivery

AgriTech.tr can structure the technical requirement and compare current supplier responses for the buyer’s project. Installation, commissioning, operator training, warranty, spare-parts, and after-sales scope must be confirmed in each supplier quotation. The final scope should be documented against the approved application, capacity, site conditions, destination, and delivery schedule in the selected supplier quotation and contract.
