CHRONO
CHRONO unit is designed for the need of greater accuracy in planting distances and reduction of timeslots useful for the farmer. Furthermore, an accurate seed placement in the furrow favours the development of the crop by minimizing the competition of nutrients.
High speed planting
CHRONO precision planters use a high speed planting unit with an exclusive pneumatic seed transport system that allows them to operate at speed rates of 15 km/h and beyond, with a guaranteed precision standard. Whether it is about planting on conventionally tilled, minimally worked soil or even direct planting, CHRONO guarantees the best seed placement accuracy regardless of its size, planting depth and speed rate.
1st class accuracy
The two independent pneumatic systems for the distribution (depression) and the transport of the seed (pressure) represent the most significant asset of CHRONO which always guarantees the correct positioning of the seed, with any working speed and with seed size. For example, the air flow can be reduced if rape or beet is planted, as small seeds require shallow planting activities.
The importance of each single seed
The micrometric adjustment of the selector allows the correct singulation of the seed, attracted by depression on the seeding disc, according to the shape and size of the seed, in order to offer maximum accuracy in all circumstances.
Each planting unit has an electric motor that manages the transmission up to the seeding disc. Thanks to the aluminum distribution body, the frictional wear on the seeding disc is reduced to the minimum.
ISOBUS COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL

Electric distribution of the fertilizer
The innovative fertilizer distribution system is based on volumetric distributors driven and modulated by ISOBUS-managed electric motors dedicated to each single row. This novelty allows CHRONO planters to integrate precision farming functions, fundamental also in fertilizer distribution, allowing dosage variation and section control.
In this way, CHRONO precision planters allow total electronic management of inputs via ISOBUS, including the microgranular product.
The design of Chrono
The design of CHRONO unit comes from the precious collaboration between the Research and Development Department of MASCHIO GASPARDO with the Italian School of Design (SID), to create a fast unit, with a functional design that makes planting even faster, easy to use and effective. An element with a unique design conceived to facilitate operator's actions, such as the reduced height of the unit to facilitate the filling of the hopper.
