Mechanics share — Precise but relaxed sowing with Precision Planting

In the series “Mechanizers Share” we meet you with operators of agricultural equipment who share firsthand their impressions of the machines and inventory with which they work.

This time the team of NIK is in the village of Trastenik, where we met the mechanic Ivan Todorov, who works in the farm of Terra Globul Ltd. Ivan Todorov shares his impressions of the work with Planter Harvest International, equipped with Precision Planting.

“My first impressions of the planter were with fright, as there are a lot of electronics on it. However, in the process of work, I did not have any problems with the machine. The parameters that I monitor during sowing are in what moisture we lay the seed and the accuracy of the planter. As well as whether DeltaForceadjusts the pressure to achieve the depth we set,” says Ivan Todorov.

DeltaForceis the perfect solution for farmers who know that lack of control over seeding pressure leads to losses. In fact, one of the most important tasks of any farmer during sowing is to make sure that the seeder uses the right pressure when sowing. That's why he cares DeltaForce. With it, you achieve a uniform seeding depth and compaction of the soil around the seed, which contributes to the uniform germination of plants.

Ivan Todorov also highlighted another advantage that he noticed during his work.

“The work becomes much easier and faster, because with other planters, when you change varieties, you have to call cleaners. The fastest thing about this planter is that you just set the sowing rate and inside the monitor you monitor the performance,” he added.

The planter is also equipped with a display SeedSense 20|20which is the third generation.

“In the display cabin SeedSense 20|20almost everything can be monitored — distance from seed, accuracy of sowing. The only thing you're down for is to adjust the seeding depth. But I know Precision Plantingthey have a project with which this will also change and it will be carried out automatically,” Ivan Todorov said.

The service team is extremely important especially during a campaign. About his experience with the experts from NIK, he shares the mechanism.

Ivan Todorov: My impressions of the service team of NIK are quite good. They help me in every situation. If they do not have the opportunity to come, they can make an appointment by phone call!

In conclusion, Ivan Todorov advised his colleagues not to worry about novelties and innovations, but simply to experiment.

“For colleagues who have not worked with machines that are quite advanced, I would tell them not to be afraid - there is nothing complicated. You just drive and that's it!” concluded Ivan Todorov.
