Novag Drill Demo

Novag will be at Cereals demonstrating their T-ForcePlus 650, which offer a significant time saving – a bonus in terms of productivity and when there is only a short window for drilling.

They demonstrate extreme performance and reliability with impressive features:

• Exceptional seed positioning
• Ability to work under the residue cover better than any other drill on the market
• Excellent fertilizer placement
• Outstanding in design
• Immediate start up
• Very high productivity

Novag offers its no-tillage drills in different working width.  The drills come in an array of working widths for different uses: 3m, 4m, 6m, 8m, 9m or higher upon request.

 

Founded as a start-up in 2011, Novag SAS has developed into a no-till technology specialist and is successful in more than 20 countries, in and outside Europe. Our product range contains innovative sowing technology for modern arable farming in the ‘Conservation Agriculture’ system with no soil tillage, permanent organic soil cover and broad crop rotation.

We offer seed drills with working widths from 1.5 to 10 metres to provide the right machine for every farmer. All our machines are equipped with our world-renowned coulter system, which combines the advantages of a disc drill with those of a tine drill, without the disadvantages of each. In addition, it is possible to work with up to four product hoppers. With the four fully integrated hoppers, the farmer has maximum flexibility when sowing all types of crops.

The T-SlotPlus coulter system comprises a large vertically operating cutting disc (576 mm) with two separate sowing boots. This inverted-T concept derives from research that started 40 years ago in New Zealand and made its way into many farms in the UK. The cutting disc cuts the green material or stubble to “open up” the soil. The sowing boot clears the seed furrows and places either seed or fertiliser to the right and left of the cutting disc and above its working depth. The cutting disc pulls overlying straw residues into the soil below the seed horizon, thus preventing the adverse effects of hairpinning and ensuring optimum soil/seed contact. Optimum seed placement requires high pressure on tough, dry, and challenging soils. All Novag models can apply up to 500 kg coulter pressure, and they can be ballasted accordingly. You get perfect seed germination in all conditions.
