A FRONT-MOUNTED HOPPER FOR FERTILISER APPLICATION IN ONE PASS

FERTI-BOX FB_F is a single-chamber hopper with a capacity of 1,900 litres. The FERTI-BOX FB_F Dual model provides two chambers with a capacity of 2,200 litres, each at the ratio of 40:60. The front hopper is suitable for connection with mounted or trailed machines using the rear three-point hitch of the tractor.

Key properties

A front-mounted version of the hopper for fertiliser application or seeding in one pass connected to the front three-point hitch of the tractor.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL FRONT HOPPER

Suitable for soil cultivators and seed drills.

Combination with a chisel plough
Combination with a strip-till cultivator
Combination with a seeding bar
Combination with an inter-row cultivator

The front-mounted FERTI-BOX FB_F and FB_F Dual can be used for supply fertilisation in combination with machines for deep soil cultivation such as TERRALAND TN or TN_PROFI chisel ploughs. The double-chamber model can be used for variable of two types of fertiliser.

The front-mounted FERTI-BOX FB_F and FB_F Dual can be also used in strip-till soil cultivation when fertiliser is applied into the soil profile in combination with STRIP-MASTER EN or TERRASTRIP ZN cultivators.

The hopper can also be used for seeds in combination with the CORSA CN seeding bar. The double-chamber model, FB_F Dual, offers an interesting option of applying two types of seeds, or seeding together with supplementary fertilisation, when fertiliser can be placed in every other row, or mixed with seeds in the distribution pipes.

To apply fertiliser during cultivation, or seeding catch crop in cultivated inter-rows, the front FERTI-BOX FB_F hopper can be combined with the ROW-MASTER cultivator.

ONE OR TWO CHAMBERS

FERTI-BOX FB_F and FERTI-BOX FB_F Dual.

The basic version of the FERTI-BOX FB_F front hopper is a single-chamber model with a hopper capacity of 1,900 l. For the simultaneous application of two types of fertiliser or for mixing seed with fertiliser, the FERTI-BOX FB_F Dual with two chambers with a total capacity of 2,200 l is recommended.

PRESSURISED HOPPER DESIGN

Increases accuracy and enables the application of even high doses.

The hopper of the FERTI-BOX FB_F and FB_F Dual machine is pressurised. Overpressure is created in the hopper chamber by the air-tight closure. This technical solution enables the application of large doses with high precision, regardless of the size of the seed/fertiliser granules.

VARIOUS TYPES OF

Seeding rollers.

Our portfolio includes various types of seeding rollers for the application of different fertiliser and seed sizes. We offer seeding rollers from 30 cm³ to 790 cm³.

INTUITIVE AND CLEAR OPERATION

Fully ISOBUS-compatible mounted hopper.

The FERTI-BOX FB_F / FB_F Dual mounted hoppers enable connection to the tractor via ISOBUS technology or control via BEDNAR’s own ISOBUS monitor. A range of control monitors is available with basic or advanced control functions. FERTI-BOX FB_F is supplied with BEDNAR EASY CONTROL software, which was developed by BEDNAR engineers.

EXCELLENT VISIBILITY

Safe both in the field and on the road.

Front-mounted FERTI-BOX FB_F hoppers are shaped in a way that ensures safe work. The tractor cabin provides an excellent view of the space in front of the hopper, thanks to the inclination of its top part. The hopper is also equipped with lights for transport and efficient lighting for working at night.

CONVENIENT CALIBRATION

With the FARM LINK mobile app.

The BEDNAR developers have designed a mobile phone app that makes it simple to calibrate a mounted hopper right from your mobile phone. The mobile app also includes a guide to help you choose the right seeding roller based on the seed/fertiliser type, working speed and seed rate.

ONE OR TWO OUTLETS

For even greater versatility.

The front-mounted FERTI-BOX FB_F / FB_F Dual hoppers feature a single outlet from the metering mechanism as part of their basic equipment. In order to use the function of switching off half of the working width of the machine, for example, in connection with the CORSA CN or KATARA KN_S seeding bar, two outlets can be utilised.

CAMERAS AS EYES

Safety is important to us.

For better visibility, we have equipped the FERTI-BOX front hoppers with a system of cameras placed on the right and left side of the hopper. The cameras are positioned under the transport lighting and are the operator’s eyes – they provide an excellent view in front of the front hopper for maximum safety.

Take a look at your future machine.

Pressurised hopper

The pressurised hopper ensures precise dosing of high application doses of fertiliser or seed, regardless of the size of the seed/fertiliser granules.

Transport lighting

The front LED transport lighting ensures safe transport and excellent visibility on the road. For field work, the machine can be equipped with additional lighting.

Camera system

The camera system (one camera on each side) provides an excellent view in front of the front hopper for maximum safety.

Fan

The fan is used to create an air flow that transports the fertiliser/seed to the distribution head of the tillage or seeding machine.

Additional weight

The additional weight adds weight to the front hopper and increases the weight on the front of the tractor. The additional weight is particularly suitable for work in combination with heavy machines in the rear three-point tractor hitch.

Tyre packer

The front tyre packer fills the gap between the tractor wheels. It also serves to lighten the load on the tractor’s front three-point hitch.

OUR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

PRESSURISED HOPPER

The pressure pushes fertiliser through the metering unit. Thanks to this design, FERTI-BOX can apply even lower-quality fertilisers or higher amounts of fertiliser in a better and more precise way.

REMOTE FARM LINK CALIBRATION

The BEDNAR FARM LINK mobile app allows operators to calibrate the metering mechanism and enter calibration values directly from the machine without having to enter the tractor cab and use the terminal.

WHAT DO THE FARMERS HAVE TO SAY?

“We decided to cultivate soil only partially based on two circumstances – legislative measures and the climate change. Therefore, we use the strip-till soil cultivation technology in combination with profile fertilisation by BEDNAR, namely the STRIP-MASTER EN cultivator and the front-mounted FERTI-BOX FB 2000 F hopper.”

AGRONOMICAL GUIDE

PROFILE FERTILISATION
The application of fertiliser into the soil environment known as profile fertilisation should be carried out together with depth loosening using FENIX cultivators, combined ACTROS cultivators or TERRALAND chisel ploughs. Such precisely placed fertiliser motivates the root system to grow faster and bigger which helps solve current issues with soil moisture. This fertiliser placement system is most often used for establishing deep-rooting crops such as corn, sugar beet or oilseed rape.
