NEWS IN THE FIELD OF BEDNAR…
The seed drill portfolio has long been one of BEDNAR's key segments. In addition to the existing products for conventional, direct or strip…
The FERTI-CART FC single-chamber trailed air-cart has a capacity of 3,500 litres. The FERTI-CART FC is primarily designed for supply fertilisation in combination with soil cultivators, such as FENIX FN, TERRALAND TN or TERRASTRIP ZN. It can also be used for seeding in combination with the CORSA CN seeding bar. The pressurised design provides quality application, even at high fertiliser amounts.

A single-chamber trailed air-cart for precise fertiliser application into soil during deep loosening and seed application in combination with seeding bar.
FERTI-CART FC is a single-chamber air-cart designed to work with machines for deep soil cultivation for supply fertilisation applied in one pass. The robust three-point hitch enables combination with the TERRALAND TN chisel plough, the TERRASTRIP ZN cultivator, or the versatile FENIX FN.
The FERTI-CART FC has one chamber with a capacity of 3,500 litres. The tank is made of plastic and it is shaped to also enable application of lower-quality fertiliser.
The hopper of the FERTI-CART FC is pressurised. Thanks to the air-tight closure, overpressure is created in the hopper. This technical solution enables the application of large doses with high precision, regardless of the size of the seed/fertiliser granules.
The metering unit is made of stainless steel and driven by an electric motor, as a result of this the dispensed amount is precise at any speed. It is equipped with a GPS speed sensor.
Our product range 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.
The FERTI-CART FC can be equipped with a tensometric weighing system. The system is based on three tensometric weight sensors that provide information both on the quantity of fertiliser or seeds in the hopper, and on the already applied or seeded amount.
The FERTI-CART FC trailed hopper enables 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-CART FC is supplied with BEDNAR EASY CONTROL software developed by BEDNAR engineers.
In the basic equipment, the trailed air-cart is equipped with one outlet that does not allow the switching off of half of the working width as with, for example, the CORSA CN seeding bar. For maximum precision and economy of seed or fertiliser for connection to machines with half-working width shut-off, the FERTI-CART FC can be equipped with two outlets.
As an option, the FERTI-CART FC 3500 air-cart can be equipped with integrated tractor track eradicators. These cultivators are used for the loosening of compacted tracks created by the tractor. The track eradicator is equipped with double-sided chisels.
BEDNAR developers have designed a mobile phone app that makes it easy and simple to calibrate a trailed hopper right from your 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.
The FERTI-CART FC can be equipped with a camera system that provides an overview of the connected equipment in the three-point hitch of the trailed hopper. In relation to the equipment, the camera image is shown on the tractor display or BEDNAR terminal.
The FERTI-CART FC trailed cart is equipped with large floating tyres with a dimension of 550/60-22,5. The floating tyres have a low specific pressure on soil, they prevent potential soil compaction, which most often occurs when the set turns at headland, or works in wet conditions.

It is used for the connection of different types of mounted or semi-mounted machines.
The transport axle is equipped with large floating tyres that reduce pressure on soil and provide stability during transport.
The tensometric weighing system provides overview of the quantity of fertiliser in the hopper and the applied quantity. The system allows easy data transfer to the tractor display.
Driven by an electric motor, provides a high precision of batching.
The pressurised hopper ensures precise dosing of high application doses of fertiliser or seed, regardless of the size of the seed/fertiliser granules.
With weight of up to 1,500 kg, it adds extra weight to the rear axle of the tractor and improves its towing properties.
Equipment for the loosening of compacted tracks created by the tractor.
The fan is used to create an air flow that transports the fertiliser/seed to the distribution head of the tillage or seeding machine.
“At the beginning, I was worried about how it would work. But I no longer worry. The setting is very easy. The NPK batching is precise. We even counted it and it matches. To me, it is a joy to drive this machine. Currently, I am working at a depth of 40 cm, travelling at a speed of 9 km/h. The NPK batch is set at 200 kg per hectare. I am able to do 25-30 hectares per day. It depends on the field.”

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 rape.
