1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE SEEDER

The «MTE» precision planting unit is a machine that is particularly
suitable for precision seed planting, for multiple uses and with any
type of seed on soil that has been tilled and prepared by conven-
tional methods or partially tilled with crop residues present.
The planting unit is pneumatically operated and can also be used
for soil fertilization and parasite prevention treatment.
This agricultural equipment, can only operate by means of a Cardan
shaft applied to the power take-off of an agricultural tractor equipped
with a lifting unit, with a three-point univer-sal joint.
The «MTE» series planting unit is currently made in several ver-
sions, each with a basic frame onto which are attached the required
seeding elements equipped with microgranulator and/or fertilizer
spreader units.
There are, more-over, various types of electronic instruments for
seeding control and for the calculating the area seeded (Ha).
The seeder has been designed exclusively for seeding in the
ground. The planting unit must only be transported by road
with the tanks and hoppers empty and at max speed of 25
km/h. Any use other than that described in these instructions
