The reason for choosing OMEGA OO 3000 L
Michal Ondra explains why they decided to purchase this seed drill: “When we were purchasing a new seed drill, we decided to go for a mounted seed drill with disc soil cultivation and a double-disc drill coulter. After looking at several offers from various manufacturers, we saw that the BEDNAR option was the best for us, both with regard to the purchase price and the quality of accessories.”
The OMEGA OO 3000 L seed drill has a robust frame and the seeding amount can be calibrated comfortably and quickly
OMEGA OO_L prepares the seedbed precisely thanks to the coulter section and the discs with a diameter of 460 mm
“Since last year, we have seeded 120 hectares of wheat, oilseed rape, phacelia, grass to a series of catch crop and peas without any difficulties. We are satisfied with the seed drill, both with the quality of seeding and the delivery of spare parts that are available by the following day,” adds Michal Ondra at the end of our interview.
