The Ndume Direct Drill has tines fitted with bar points 5/8” wide that penetrate the soil 7” deep. Seed and fertilizer
is placed 1” – 2” deep on the parallelogram unit that is attached to the rear of the tine. Depth is controlled by the
presswheels. Tines are shear bolt protected. The main tine creates a mini seed bed 7” deep with minimum soil disturbance, and the parallelogram unit puts the seed into a furrow behind the main tine.
The presswheels ensure good seed to soil contact and hence good germination. All tines are fitted with adjustable contour-following disc coulters ahead of the tines which cut surface trash ensuring no blockages when planting.
Planting units can be fitted with twin-row shoes instead of the single-row unit. This effectively splits the row into two rows 5” apart.
