Trailed pneumatic precision planter with hydraulic front closing frame
CHRONO 700 is the model with a semi-mounted frame that fits within CHRONO range. The high speed planting at 15 km/h and above, together with the high versatility of the homonymous element, allow to excel in all situations, from conventional to minimum tillage and then to direct planting, working in a very wide range of conditions and always guaranteeing the best precision of seed placement. The result of decades of experience in the precision planter sector, CHRONO is in fact the flagship of MASCHIO GASPARDO group. Equipped with a mounted frame with double telescopic extension, CHRONO 700 is available in the 708 version with 8 rows and 70 or 75 cm spacing.
CHRONO planting unit is characterised by the most advanced and innovative solutions found on the new generation precision planters. The independent pneumatic system with lobe compressor, allows the transport of the seed from the distributor to the planting furrow, guaranteeing high forward speeds and varying the air flow according to the different types of seeds, from the smallest such as sorghum to the most irregular like sunflower.
The HEAVY DUTY setting of the planting unit is amplified by the sturdy double parallelogram connection system with AIR SPRING that allows to vary the pressure of the unit on the ground up to a maximum of 300 kg, which can be operated directly from the tractor cab. This allows direct planting even on very compacted heavy soils.
CHRONO planting unit is coupled to the trailed type frame with side wings and front folding which guarantees a road footprint of only 3 meters, complying with the European Mother Regulations for on-road travel. The long drawbar guarantees high stability and allows a greater turning radius.
The ISOTRONIC electric transmission with ISOBUS GENIUS MASTER communication protocol allows to take advantage of all the Precision Farming functions for laying the seed, for the distribution of the microgranular product and of the fertilizer.
The 8-row semi-mounted frame with front folding and the possibility of planting even on firm soil are the main features that make CHRONO 700 the ideal companion for the most demanding contractors.
