„This seed drill, equipped with large packer wheels, consolidates the soil well, and the offset wheel system is really well thought-out. It’s a seed drill that’s very well thought out for everything. That’s why we chose it and we don’t regret it at all..“

Join us in our series to meet BEDNAR OMEGA seed drill users who have bet on the quality of these versatile seed drills.

Offers even more seeding options.

The OMEGA OO_FL air drill can be equipped with the BEDNAR ALFA DRILL seeder, while in production, for even higher drill versatility and crop establishment options. The cover crop seeder can be used for seeding a third type of crop or applying micro-granulate when both tanks are used for seeds. The seeder has a capacity of 11 bu.

Place the seeds deeper, or plant them in every other row.

The specially designed distribution tower also allows seeding the crop in every other row, for example, for row spacing of 9.8″ or 13″ . This solution is suitable for establishing canola crop. When using the OMEGA OO_FL air drill for establishing two crops in every other row, you can place each crop at a different depth level. The drill opener packer wheel can be set at various holes with a spacing of 0.8″ . Adjusting every other packer wheel sets a different seeding depth in the even openers than in the odd openers.

Highly precise air drill guidance in the right track.

The OMEGA OO_FL air drills have disc blade gangs arranged in the shape of X. This innovative technical design eliminates drifting of the drill to the side. That allows the air drill to precisely follow the tractor track.

For low rolling resistance and improved clearance in muddy conditions.

The large and wide wheels mounted in an offset system under the tank perfectly consolidates and level soil. The offset arrangement of the packer wheels increases soil and crop residue throughput, which reduces rolling resistance and thus the power demand. The wheels can be easily replaced in the case of a puncture! The wheels are mounted independently and the air drill turns at headland using the packer, except for the two central wheels, which prevents the undesirable formation of tracks.

For even placement of seeds at a constant depth level.

The double-disc drill openers are mounted on the seed bar frame with a parallel linkage. That allows the individual drill openers to perfectly contour the terrain and place seeds evenly at a constant depth level along the entire working width.

5" or 6.5"

The OMEGA OO_FL variable air drill can be equipped, while in production, with drill openers with an row spacing of 5″ suitable for cropping systems with a high ratio of cereals in the crop rotation. The row spacing of 6.5″ is suitable for seeding with large quantities of crop residue on the surface.

Save up to 6% of the cost of seeds.

The OMEGA OO_FL air drill with fertilizers placement is equipped with two distribution towers, which makes it possible to deactivate a half of the working width of the air drill – mechanically, or electronically from the comfort of the tractor cabin. It prevents undesirable excessive seeding.

Keep track of the throughput of each drill opener.

The air drill can be equipped with blockage sensors on request. The device ensures that if a drill coulter gets clogged, the information is displayed on the screen. That guarantees maximum seeding precision.

Precisely designed drill opener.

The double-disc drill opener with an offset disc cuts crop residues and creates a clean and perfect seedbed for even seed placement. There is either a standard, or carbide scraper between the two discs of opener. The seeds are then covered with fine soil and pressed down into the soil by the packer wheel. The packer wheel is available in two sizes: 13″ × 0.2″ and 13″ × 2.6″.

For comfortable filling.

The fast and comfortable filling of the OMEGA air drill tanks is ensured by an easily accessible platform and steps. To fill the tanks, the steel lid swings by 90°. The tanks filling level is indicated by two sensors. One is installed higher and its angle is adjustable, the other one is installed in the lower third of the tank.

Comfortable and safe calibration at the rear of the air drill.

We have developed the OMEGA air drill also with an easy and comfortable operation in mind. The seed calibration at the rear of the drill is also easy – a calibration bag is simply placed below the pipe. You do not need to climb the disc section and perform complicated calibration under the tank. The outlet also makes it easy to empty the tank contents.

An air drill drill fully compatible with ISOBUS.

Emphasis was placed on easy control when developing the OMEGA air drill. The air drill can be connected to the tractor via the ISOBUS technology, or it can be controlled using a BEDNAR ISOBUS display. A series of control displays with basic or advanced control functions are available.

With the FARM LINK mobile application.

BEDNAR developers designed an application for mobile phones that provides easy and simple calibration of the air drill from your mobile phone. The mobile application includes a guide that helps with the right selection of the seeding roller based on the type of seeds/fertilizer, working speed and seeding amount.
