Just 18 months after entering the precision seeding and tillage market, Versatile is introducing a new air drill with exciting new technology. The ML Series air drill will debut with the ML930 and ML950 models to enhance the lineup of Versatile precision seeding equipment.
Available in 3- and 5-section configurations from 40’ to 70’, the ML Series air drill features ALIVE technology: Accurate seed placement with Level, Independent openers for uncompromising Vertical Emergence of crops.
The ALIVE technology incorporates three critical features to achieve optimum seed and fertilizer placement. Independent shank technology, mechanical linkage and seed furrow selection.
Unlike traditional parallel link drills, the ML series does not rely on hydraulics to maintain a constant seeding depth, packing pressure or shank trip force. Frame height is adjustable up or down to increase or decrease packing pressure, which allows operators to pass through soft areas and over harder, knolls while maintaining consistent and precise seeding capabilities.
Versatile Director of Marketing Adam Reid, says, "Versatile entered the precision seeding and tillage market last year with products that are recognized for simplicity and efficiency. A team of engineers has been working on this new technology and we are extremely impressed with the results. The ML Series drill is able to maintain seeding depth, packing pressure and shank tip force without hydraulic cylinders on each shank, meaning that the tractor requirement, in both horsepower and hydraulic, is less than comparable existing parallel link drills. Combined with in-cab seed furrow selection, the ML Series drill is an exciting new piece of precision seeding technology."
