April 21, 2022 Photo of a Massey Ferguson 7718 with Väderstad front tank and seeder. Loonbedrijf den Engelsman in action. A beautiful sowing machine that can just deliver sowing work. I understood from the driver that he can put 300 kg of pressure on each element. In combination with such a heavy front tank with 1200 kg of fertilizer in it (I believe it fits 2,000 kg) You drive more on the front wheels than on the rear wheels. Driving straight with GPS is therefore not very tight. Now the corn has been on top for a few days and it was not too bad that we did not have to irrigate for the current drought. In 2020 we lightly hedged the cornland shortly after sowing with our pulled Steketee Maxisprint. For example, the soil was optimal for the proper functioning of the herbicides. We have not done that now and I think it is actually a pity. The result is a bit less neat. I think we needed 11 bags for 88,000 seeds on 10.25 hectares. The sower was there at 7 o'clock, 20 minutes of coffee in between and at 12:30 he drove away again In such a way you sow 25 hectares in a day, I think. The chopper of this contractor takes with him as wide as the sowing machine, but does not drive in the same track I think. The chopper is a bit wider on the straps.
