Pneumatic combined seed drill with disc harrow

OPERA 600 is the new universal combination seed drill capable of enhancing daily productivity and 3 operations in a single pass. Equipped with a pressurised hopper with a capacity of 5100 l, it is suitable for large farms and contractors. Available in a single 6 m version with up to 48 rows, it is designed for tractors with 240 to 360 hp. By combining several operations in a single implement (tilling, fertiliser burial and seeding) OPERA 600 aims to maximise the efficiency of field operations, reducing costs and contributing to a more sustainable future.

The Combination Advantage

The machine is equipped with three independently adjustable working sections that combine six operations in a single pass. All working parts, from the discs for tilling the soil to the seed and fertiliser coulters, are equipped with independent arm connection elements with respective supports cushioned by 4 rubber silent blocks. This solution guarantees the greatest possible degree of movement of the working parts in order to operate efficiently even on uneven or unworked soil. The sturdy, semi-mounted chassis (optionally carried by means of an eye), with folding side members and crossbars, makes it possible to reduce the overall dimensions from 6 to only 3 metres for road transport, and thanks to the long drawbar, both road transfers and headland turns are made easy.

Better performance under pressure 

The new pressurised hopper features a high capacity of 5,100 l and has the possibility of varying the internal partition (60/40 or 50/50). This modulation allows for the best possible operation by combining different varieties, crops or fertilisers. Pressurisation is a technology already adopted in other MASCHIO GASPARDO seed drills, which improves the efficiency of product distribution along the entire working face and reduces the effort required by the hydraulically driven impeller, even in hilly areas. A solution that reduces the power required and consequently consumption and emissions. 

Precise and reliable

The newly developed X-FORCE seeding bar ensures a constant seeding depth even when working at high speeds and is capable of applying a ground pressure of up to 140 kg. The system consists of a double disc coulter with the same diameter as the fertiliser coulter (380 mm) and, thanks to its special V-shaped design, always ensures a uniform seeding depth even on heavy soils. The double-disc furrow opener has a mud scraper inside the V, which, together with the rear depth wheel made of soft self-cleaning rubber, makes it possible to work effectively even on wet soils, avoiding mud accumulations that could compromise correct deposition.

ISOTRONIC electronic technology

ISOTRONIC's electric drive with ISOBUS communication protocol allows digital control of the seed drill and all Precision Farming functions, simplifying calibration procedures for seed and fertiliser. Sensors and actuators help improve the operator's experience, allowing them to work more efficiently, saving time, effort and money.

Special contents
DISC HARROW

The disc harrow consists of two rows of 460 mm discs. They are widely spaced between them to ensure good soil flow even when there is a fair amount of residue. The particular inclination and concave nature of the discs reduces the accumulation of soil inside them even when working on wet soils. 

FERTILIZING

The OPERA 600 is also available with dedicated fertiliser coulters positioned between the rear roller and disc harrow. Starter fertilisers can be precisely positioned between the seeding lines and at a greater depth than seed.

RUBBER WHEELS

The machine has no less than two sets of wheels: the first, which is optional, is mounted on the same fixed axle to break up the larger aggregates before the disc cutter intervenes; the second, containing the transport wheels, consists of two staggered rows and acts as a packer roller, creating a uniform seed bed.

INTERCHANGEABLE ROLLERS

Dosing of the products is done by electrically driven volumetric dosers that, relying on the ISOBUS communication protocol, allow the implementation of Precision Agriculture functions such as Variable Dose (VR). The rollers are interchangeable and of large diameter to reduce the number of revolutions and avoid loss of load.

TRAMLINE

The seed drill can be equipped with a row exclusion system for creating traffic lanes and seed transport control via sensors, as well as systems for managing correct operation during seeding.

TASK CONTROLLER

Thanks to the Task Controller function, the hydraulic movement sequence of the sections can be set to speed up operations at the start and end of the field.

Why choose OPERA 600

The ability to perform multiple operations in a single step not only saves time, allowing actions to be taken within shorter timeframes, but also reduces fuel consumption and equipment wear. All this translates into greater efficiency, savings, and sustainability—needs that are increasingly essential due to climate change. A state-of-the-art machine that is highly versatile and productive.
