AN EXTREMELY VERSATILE SEED DRILL

Apply fertiliser or seed different crops at the same time.

Seeding together with fertilisation
Seeding several types of crop
Seeding one crop

The double-chamber pressurised hopper enables seeding the crop together with row fertiliser placement in one pass, or mixing seeds with fertiliser in the dosing unit. The fertiliser dosing and the selected seeding amount are completely independent of one another.

The OMEGA OO_FL seed drill can also be used for establishing several types of crops. One chamber can be filled with the main crop seeds, the other chamber with the subsidiary crop seeds. The structural design makes it possible to seed two crops together, bringing new agronomic opportunities in response to the current farming requirements. The seeding amount of the individual crops as well as their placement in soil can be set individually.

To use the performance potential of the machine, both chambers can be used for one type of seeds. It will reduce the time needed for refilling the hopper and increase the efficiency of the OMEGA OO_FL seed drill.

ALFA DRILL SEEDER

Offers even more seeding options.

The OMEGA OO_FL seed drill can be equipped with the BEDNAR ALFA DRILL seeder for even higher machine versatility and crop establishment options. The seeder can be used for seeding a third type of crop or applying micro-granulate when both hopper chambers are used for seeds. The seeder capacity 400 litres.

SEEDING AT VARIOUS DEPTH LEVELS, OR IN EVERY OTHER ROW

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

The specially designed distribution head also allows seeding the crop in every other row, for example, for row spacing of 25 or 33 centimetres. This solution is suitable for establishing oilseed rape. When using the OMEGA OO_FL seed drill for establishing two crops in every other row, you can place each crop at a different depth level. The drill coulter support wheel can be set at various holes with a spacing of 20 mm. Adjusting every other support wheel sets a different seeding depth in the even coulters than in the odd coulters.

SEEDING AT VARIOUS DEPTH LEVELS, OR IN EVERY OTHER ROW

A WIDE RANGE OF OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

Adjust the seed drill to your farming needs.

Front Crushbar (levelling bar) + tyre packer
A unique coulter section

No other seed drill on the market offers the option to combine the front levelling bar with the tyre packer. Perfect soil levelling before the drill coulters is an important part of seeding. The Crushbar breaks the rough furrow and levels off any unevenness, the tyre packer evenly consolidates soil along the entire width of the machine, and contributes to maintaining its stability at high working speed.

The working section behind the disc section is definitely what makes BEDNAR machines distinct. It can be equipped with the popular PROFI coulters for better soil cultivation, or TURBO coulters for creating a groove for drill coulters in the case of direct drill.

X-PRECISE SYSTEM OF THE DISC SECTION

Highly precise seed drill guidance in the right track.

The OMEGA OO_FL seed drills have disc sections arranged in the shape of X. This innovative technical design eliminates drifting of the machine to the side. That allows the machine to precisely follow the tractor track.

OFFSET ARRANGEMENT OF REAR TYRE PACKER

For low rolling resistance and improved clearance in wet conditions.

The large and wide wheels mounted in an offset system under the hopper perfectly consolidates and level soil. The offset arrangement of the tyre packer increases soil and crop residues 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 seed drill turns at headland using the packer, except for the two central wheels, which prevents the undesirable formation of tracks.

MAINTENANCE-FREE DOUBLE DISC SEEDING COULTER MOUNTED VIA PARALLEL LINKAGE

For even placement of seeds at a constant depth level.

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

TWO ROW SPACING OPTIONS

12.5 or 16.7 centimetres.

The OMEGA OO_FL variable seed drill can be equipped with drill coulters with an row spacing of 12.5 cm suitable for cropping systems with a high ratio of cereals in the crop rotation. The row spacing of 16.7 cm is suitable for seeding with large quantities of crop residues on the surface.

DEACTIVATING A HALF OF THE WORKING WIDTH

Save up to 6% of the cost of seeds.

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

FLOW SENSORS

Keep track of the throughput of each drill coulter.

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

EXCELLENT SEED PLACEMENT

Precisely designed drill coulter.

The double-disc seeding coulter with an offset disc cuts crop residues and creates a clean and prepared groove for even seed placement. There is either a standard, or carbide scraper between two discs. The seeds are then covered with fine soil and pressed down into the soil by the depth wheel. The depth wheel is available in two sizes: 330×50 mm and 330×65 mm.

SAFE ACCESS TO HOPPERS

For comfortable filling.

The fast and comfortable filling of the OMEGA seed drill hopper is ensured by an easily accessible platform and steps. To fill the hopper, the steel lid swings by 90°. The hopper 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 hopper.

EASY CALIBRATION

Comfortable and safe calibration at the rear of the machine.

We have developed the OMEGA seed drill also with an easy and comfortable operation in mind. The seed calibration at the rear of the machine 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 hopper. The outlet also makes it easy to empty the hopper contents.

INTUITIVE AND WELL-ARRANGED CONTROL

A seed drill fully compatible with ISOBUS.

Emphasis was placed on easy control when developing the OMEGA 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 matering roller based on the type of seeds/fertiliser, working speed and seeding amount.

OUR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

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“.

DRILL COULTER PSP SYSTEM

The double-disc drill coulters are attached to the seeding bar frame with a parallelogram. The design provides perfect terrain contouring and even seed placement at the same depth along the entire width of the machine.

X-PRECISE SYSTEM OF THE DISC SECTION

The unique technical design ensures precise machine guidance in the track. Thanks to that, the entire width of the disc cultivator is used because there is no drifting of the machine.

TWIN-DISC MOUNTING SYSTEM

One arm for two discs provides a high material throughput. Crop residue can easily flow through the machine (large quantities of straw, crop residue after grain corn). Most compact disc harrows only have one arm per disc. Such design restricts the flow of material namely in wet conditions, or when there are large quantities of crop residue.

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

PRESSURISED HOPPER MODEL

OMEGA OO_FL is equipped with pressurised hoppers for precise seeding and crop establishment, even with higher seeding amounts. The pressurised hoppers for OMEGA OO_FL seed drills are available with a capacity of 4,000 to 5,000 litres.

WHAT DO THE FARMERS HAVE TO SAY?

“OMEGA OO_FL perfectly processes even heavy clayed soil thanks to the front levelling bar and the disc section, it prepares a quality seedbed, and distributes seeds evenly. As far as the quality of seeding is concerned, I am satisfied. We purchased the seed drill according to the technical parameters we required – seeding two crops, row fertiliser placement, and less travelling across the field thanks to quality prepared soil.”

AGRONOMICAL GUIDE

COMPANION CROPS ESTABLISHMENT
The main reasons for using companion crops in the seeding methods in the past few years lie in the legislation and ecology. The pressure on implementing better principles to limit soil and air erosion is increasing, as well as on improving the balance of organic matter, increasing water infiltration in soil, and reducing the application of chemicals. In the long term, companion crop can improve the condition of soil environment, increase the share of organic matter and thus work better with the limiting factors of yield, such as moisture and nutrition of the main crop.
