The ECO S MAX Seed Drill is an advanced agricultural planting machine specifically designed for farming in saline and semi-saline soils. It has been developed to improve seed germination, reduce the negative effects of soil salinity, and increase crop productivity under challenging field conditions.

The machine is suitable for planting a wide range of crops, including wheat, barley, chickpea, beans, mung bean, soybean, canola, alfalfa, camelina, and other grains, legumes, and oilseed crops.

The ECO S MAX is equipped with a precise seed and fertilizer metering system that allows accurate adjustment of seeding depth according to crop requirements and soil conditions. Its double-level openers place base fertilizer in a band directly beneath the seed, ensuring efficient nutrient availability during the early stages of plant growth.

A key feature of the ECO S MAX is its ability to create furrows and ridges during planting. This design helps move salts away from the root zone, reducing salinity stress around the plant and creating a more favorable environment for germination and crop establishment. As a result, farmers can achieve better plant growth and improved yields in saline and semi-saline fields.

Operating Instructions

Before Operation

• Check all bolts and fasteners.
• Lubricate all designated grease points.
• Inspect tire pressure.
• Ensure seed and fertilizer tubes are clean and undamaged.
• Calibrate seed and fertilizer application rates.

During Operation

• Maintain a tractor speed of 6–8 km/h.
• Ensure hoppers are filled evenly.
