2017 Maschio Gaspardo MIRKA 8

Mirka is the 8 row folding vacuum planter for the big maize grower, the farm contractor or the biogas plant. The reliable and precise Gaspardo MTR planting unit guarantees on any soil condition perfect establishment of crop, productivity and profitability.

The stainless steel seed presswheel increases seed to soil contact improving emergence in dry soils. It can be easily excluded when not needed.

Forget chains, lubrication and dust wear.

No fear while working on high residues, corn stalks cant damage it.

The PTO shaft drive guarantees an even seed plate rotation with no maintenance needed.

Maximum reliability with user friendly operation!

Side wings have their own transmission and can float to follow uneven soil profiles. Each time machine is lifted an hydraulic compensation system brings the two wings higher than central section: this feature makes easier maneuvering at field border.

The double row ball bearings are oversized and guarantee reliability in the most demanding working conditions including rocky soil. Long life is guaranteed by triple seal protection. The hub is dust proof which makes it ideal to work in wet conditions as well.

Self-lubricating bushings release oil particles that lubricate the hinge points and are maintenance free.

The scraper has a wear resistant Tungsten carbide profile for NON-STOP working.

The Tungsten carbide scraper makes it very easy to plant in heavy soil conditions.

Our improved seed tube design keeps the precise accuracy that comes from the meetering unit all the way into the furrow. Its special design prevents seed from bouncing during the drop.

The double seed singulator action can be checked from the back inspection window and it can be very quickly and easily adjusted. Singulation is carried out on both sides of the seeding plate holes avoiding seed doubles regardless of inconsistency in shape and size. Singulator adjustment allows delivery with high accuracy even using different hybrids of seeds without seed plate replacement.

When seed falls into the narrow V shape furrow it stops immediately, maintaining an even spacing and a great seed to soil contact. Falling seed speed decreases from 10 to 0 km/h (6 to 0 mph) in less then 1/12 of second.
