STANHAY X-SERIES VACUUM SEED PLANTER

STANHAY X-10 / SINGLE-LINE

A dedicated single line row unit offering a more economical solution for growers who do not require multi-line performance. Every aspect of the row is designed for easy and precise adjustment to give uniformity of seed depth and seed soil contact, ensuring regular and even germination in all soil conditions.

STANHAY X-30 / MULTI-LINE

A multi-line row unit capable of seeding 1 to 4 lines of seed from each row. Every aspect of the row is designed for easy and precise adjustment to give uniformity of seed depth and seed soil contact, ensuring regular and even germination in all soil conditions.

Stanhay X-10 and X-30 units feature:

  • Manually operated row unit clutch in an easily accessible
    location to disengage rows in seconds
  • Weight limiting spring allows up to 130 lbs of reduced down-force
    on the row
  • Row unit connection via simple mechanism that can be operated
    by single operator
  • Reliable 2-stage chain drive
  • Infinitely adjustable depth control over a 3.5-inch range
  • Weight of row distributed evenly over front and rear wheels
  • Sharp edged disc opener cuts through trash and hard soil before
    the coulter, eliminating potential row unit bounce from
    obstructions in the row


ELECTRIC DRIVE SYSTEM OPTION

An electric drive system is available for 4 to 12 rows. Electric drive
has been designed into the X-Series from the outset and the motor
is well protected and fitted centrally within the chassis meaning a
7.87" minimum row width is still achievable.

This allows the planter to have section control and seeding rate
changes on the go. The machine can be controlled from the ISOBUS terminal in the tractor cab where target seed rate, speed, and
individual row operation information will be displayed. From here
the machine can be set and adjusted in minutes and combined
with other implements, guidance systems and section control.

 

STANHAY X-SERIES METERING UNIT - HOW IT WORKS

Stanhay X-Series vacuum planter metering unit







The industry leading Stanhay small seed vacuum metering unit
has been continually developed and improved over the last 30
years to give unmatched versatility and performance in the field.
The X Series metering unit features further advancements to
improve performance.

Seed plates

Thin seed plates flex to give a perfect air tight seal and
consistent seed pickup while reducing the chance of seeds
sticking in seed holes . A large area of the disc is viewable to
aid initial setup and check performance.

Galleries

A hard wearing plastic moulding directs vacuum and pressure
to exactly where they're needed for optimal seed pickup and
disc clean-out after the seed release. Easily replaced when
required with a simple paper gasket system to seal the gallery
block into the metering unit.

Singulators

Simple design to enable precise singulation of up to 4 lines of
seed with one cam adjustment, they also feature a simple
calibration adjustment. Singulatrs ensure all metering units
perform the same on the same singulation setting.
