Description:
The Rapid A 800S is a pneumatic seed drill designed for high-performance seeding in various tillage conditions. It has a working width of 8 meters and a row spacing of 125 mm, with 64 seed coulters. The seed hopper has a volume of 3,100 litres. The drill is equipped with the Fenix metering system, which can handle seed rates from 1.5 kg/ha up to 500 kg/ha without requiring part changes. The hydraulic drive allows high seed rates to be metered without lowering the driving speed. The integrated fan runs at low speed for low fuel consumption and quiet operation. The machine features Väderstad SeedEye for seed counting and monitoring, allowing farmers to set the number of seeds per square metre without calibration. Depth setting can be controlled from the cab to instantly adapt to varying soil types.
