Key properties

A seed drill for strip-till systems responding to the new agronomic trends in crop establishment.

STRIP-TILL TECHNOLOGY

MATADOR MO is a perfect combination of a seed drill that manages tillage and seeding in one pass. The advantage of this procedure lies in loosening soil in the strips of future crop roots and precise fertiliser placement. The strip-till technology offers interesting agronomic benefits in the form of moisture preservation, anti-erosion protection or reduction in the number of passes across the field.

ACTIVE-MIX TINES

With a robust AUTO-RESET hydraulic system.

The MATADOR MO is equipped with ACTIVE-MIX tines for active loosening up to a maximum depth of 35 cm with the option of placing fertiliser in the soil profile or on the soil surface. The tines are equipped with a robust AUTO-RESET hydraulic protection with a maximum release force of 870 kg (maximum lift height of 30 cm). The tines can be equipped with 40 or 80 mm points in LONG LIFE version.

DISC SECTION BEHIND TINES

It makes it possible to adjust to the required operation.

The disc section works behind the tines and it is hydraulically adjustable. The disc section can be set to level soil in front of the off-set tyre packer (suitable for most types of cereals) or to create ridges (suitable for rapeseed).

PRESSURISED HOPPER MODEL

Increases accuracy and provides applications of high amounts.

The MATADOR MO seed drill is equipped with a double-chamber hopper with a total capacity of 5,000 litres (40:60 ratio). The MATADOR MO hopper is pressurised. Overpressure is created in the hopper thanks to the airtight closure. This technical design allows for dosing large batches with high precision independent of the size of the seeds/fertiliser.

OFFSET ARRANGEMENT OF TYRE PACKER

High clearance even in wet conditions and low resistance.

Behind the disc section is a tyre packer with large diameter wheels (280/85 R20). The tyre packer is arranged in two rows (offset arrangement) with each wheel mounted independently. The independent mounting of the wheels means easy replacement in the event of a puncture. The double-row arrangement reduces the tractor’s power demand, the packer has an excellent self-cleaning effect and seed drill is highly stable.

CORSA CN SEED BAR

MATADOR MO + CORSA CN = The Right Choice.

CORSA CN is a versatile seed bar of 6 metres working width that is connected to the MATADOR MO seed drill thanks to its three-point hitch. The standard equipment of the seed bar includes double-disc seeding coulters with individual PSP system (parallel linkage) ensuring quality and even crop establishment.

FRONT EQUIPMENT

Increases the versatility of the seed bar.

Front Crushbar levelling bar
Tyre packer
TURBO coulter working section
PROFI coulter working section

The Crushbar levelling bar is used for initial levelling of the furrows and terrain unevenness. The working angle of the levelling bar can be modified hydraulically during the work from the tractor cab.

The Frontpack with a diameter of 390 mm ensures even soil profile levelling and back soil consolidation in front of the drill coulters.

TURBO coulters are sharp discs with a diameter of 400 mm. The TURBO coulter cuts crop mulch and soil. TURBO coulters work in the same line as the rear drill coulters. The coulter spacing is 12.5 cm. The TURBO coulter downforce can be modified hydraulically during the work from the tractor cab.

PROFI coulters are specially shaped discs with a diameter of 400 mm, offering an excellent crumbling effect. They are suitable for quality tillage of heavy soils. The PROFI coulter downforce can be modified hydraulically during the work from the tractor cab.

ROW DISTANCE OPTIONS

New crop organisation options.

Row distance of 12.5 cm (48 drill coulters)
Row spacing of 12.5 cm + double edge drill coulters (50 drill coulters)
Row distance 25 cm
Row distance of 12.5 cm + row distance of 25 cm (32 drill coulters)

Suitable row distance for establishing cereal with a profile soil fertilisation of all the surface.

Suitable row distance for establishing cereals with a profile soil fertilisation of all the surface. The seeding bar is equipped with double edge drill coulters. The seed flow splits into two parts with the double edge drill coulters, which prevents creating empty spots between follow-up passes.

Suitable row distance for establishing cereals with a profile soil fertilisation of all the surface. This organisation enables mechanical weeding between the rows.

Suitable row distance for establishing winter rapeseed in double rows with an row distance of 12.5 cm. The double rows get fertilisation from the fertilised strips with a distance of 37.5 cm. This organisation enables mechanical weeding between the rows.

INTUITIVE AND WELL-ARRANGED CONTROL

A seed drill fully compatible with ISOBUS.

Emphasis was placed on easy control when developing the MATADOR MO seed drill. The seed 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.

COMFORTABLE CALIBRATION

With the FARM LINK mobile application.

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

VARIOUS CONNECTION OPTIONS

They increase the use of the machine during the year.

Besides the standard seed bar in the rear three-point hitch, the MATADOR MO seed drill can also be connected with a precision planter for planting corn, sunflower or sugar beet. The distance of 37.5 cm with an option to deactivate every other tine enables crop organisation with an row spacing of 75 cm. In one pass, you will loosen, fertilise your soil and establish the crop. The technology brings considerable savings in time and financial costs.

ALFA DRILL SEEDER

Offers even more seeding options.

The MATADOR MO seed drill can be equipped with the BEDNAR ALFA DRILL seeder while in production, for even higher machine versatility and crop establishment options. The seeder can be used for seeding a third type of seeds or applying micro-granulate. The seeder is pressurised and has a capacity of 400 litres. The control of the seeder is integrated into the control interface of the MATADOR MO.

OUR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

HYDRAULIC DRAWBAR

The hydraulic cylinder of the drawbar provides excellent terrain contouring. It removes tension affecting the machine drawbar and absorbs shocks, even at high working speed

DOUBLE EDGE DRILL COULTERS

The machine moves away from the ideal line and wobbles when seeding. That creates increased gaps, or so-called “eyes” between the individual rides in the field (with standard arrangement of the drill coulters). All those deficiencies are eliminated with our innovative design – the double edge drill coulters. When there is a deviation from the ideal line, the growth is only thinned locally without any significant gaps, or eyes“.

LONG-LIFE POINTS

The reinforced LONG-LIFE points with an extended service life are fitted with carbide tips. The durability of such points is multiple times longer, namely in abrasive soils. The time spent replacing points can be thus used more efficiently.

ROBUST HYDRAULIC PROTECTION

The basic equipment of the machine includes tines with hydraulic AUTO-RESET protection (max. stone release of 870 kg, max. lifting height 30 cm). The protection uses massive cast-iron mounting on the seed drill frames.

SPRING-LOADED PART OF THE TYRE PACKER

The central part of the tyre packer is suspended using a spring (patented design). This design increases the comfort when transporting the machine on roads and reduces the pressure on the frames when the hoppers are full.

AGRONOMICAL GUIDE

STRIP-TILL SEEDING WITH TARGETED FERTILISER PLACEMENT
The strip-till technology with simultaneous fertiliser placement and seeding in tilled strips offers many agronomic benefits, including erosion control, reduced field traffic, and water conservation. The tine section ensures the removal of compacted soil layers and quality tilling of strips with the possibility of simultaneous fertiliser application. Subsequently, the seeds are placed in the tilled strips, providing plants with sufficient nutrients and promoting the development of a healthy root system.
