Seeding bigger profits

SEEDMaster specialised seeding equipment has been added to the O’Connors stable of farm machinery products and equipment, providing more choice for farmers to suit their systems.

O’Connors’ group sales development manager Tom Sheridan says the Canadian-based manufacturer builds innovative, precise seeding equipment, helping customers produce better crops with higher profits.

Mr Sheridan says his company is “really excited about the inclusion of SeedMaster into our range of leading products – and are particularly excited about the company’s 60-foot, 70-foot and 80-foot toolbars”.

He says they provide excellent broadacre paddock coverage “with exceptional results and a purchase price that really stacks up in the market”.

“SeedMaster toolbars are a true double-shoot system, which offers separation between seed and fertiliser, with precise seed placement,” Mr Sheridan says.

“Seedmaster openers are designed to achieve effective, reliable separation – giving growers confidence in their seed placement.

“It is a simple and effective design with good trash flow in paddocks with high stubble loads, particularly when fitted with deflectors on each tyne.”

With precision, simplicity, and durability, Mr Sheridan says the SeedMaster range offers the lowest-maintenance seeding systems on the market.

The terrain-following openers place seed and fertiliser with pinpoint precision and the100 feet-wide air drills mean farmers can seed more hectares per day across a range of soil types.

He says the SeedMaster toolbar is both versatile and adaptable and has compatibility with all types of air carts.

“Another advantage of the SeedMaster toolbars is their width when folded for travel,” Mr Sheridan says.

“The 60ft range folds to less than 6m in the transport position, perfect for business owners who know they will need to move between paddocks on major roads,” he says.

O’Connors marketing manager Tom Draffen says SeedMaster also has a great reputation, so the inclusion of the range across his dealership network is a great opportunity for O’Connors customers.

“Stocking another leading brand in tillage and seeding means we can provide more choice for our customers to suit their farming systems,” Mr Draffen says.

“SeedMaster’s precise seed placement has been particularly noticeable during the recent harvest.

“Some of our current SeedMaster customers have provided excellent feedback about the preciseness of the seed placement in the rising edge of the press wheel farrow.

“They could see it very clearly from the combine cab during harvest, visible results when the work is paying-off at the end of the year are indicators of a great seeding program – which sets you up for the rest of the year”.

Selected SeedMaster toolbars and openers are now available from O’Connors dealerships for the upcoming season.
