Modular Concept: - All frames in each series are standard
- 380 stagger and can be configured to either 150mm or 100mm row spacing seed
- All frames use 50x50x5 box section. The three staggered beams in the frames are not butt welded. Instead they pass through the chassis and end plates to add strength and to avolid twisting and weld fatigue
- Endplates have been designed to carry the seedbox, footplate and gearbox. They also support the mainframe and (as standard) have built in hooks for carrying harrows.
- In-frame wheels are standard with 360 series for reduced overall width
Row spacings: - Two options; 150mm (6 inch) - standard to most tine drills on the market. Or 100mm (4 inch) - unique to the Thian drill
- Thian's 100mm row spacing allows a better seed cover for re-grassing and eliminates the need for cross drilling. This achieves a carpet like result from a better thatch and non clumping. Savings are made in time and fuel costs.
Drives and sprockets: - Wherever possible all drive shafts are hex (6 sided). While hex drives in Thian seed drills area first for NZ made seed drills, internationally they are common.
- All bearings are also hex which don't need grub screws or locked collars
- Sprockets are also hex which eliminates the need for keyways or roll pins. All hex components lessen the opportunity for equipment failure and downtime for repairs.
Unique features: - Drills are built on a modular concept
- Multi-purpose frames with harrow carrying hooks as standard
- Choice of 150mm or 100mm row spacings
- Available sizes from 1.5m to 2.4m width
- variable speed gearbox
- Hex shaft for drives with hex bearings
- Purpose built tines with choice fo two points
- One-piece sponge feed seeders
- Saftety treadboards
- Powder coated finish
Safety Features: - All drills have a wide galvanised tread board with a special non-slip surface
Finish: - All frames and boxes are sandblasted and then powder coated to give a professional finish.
Tines: - Slim design allows 100mm row spacing with superior trash clearance
- The Thian tine is purpose built for seed drilling
- The tine is a unique design, angled slightly forward to enable the seed tube to be below the soil line when the tine is working (loaded).
Points: A choice of the following two points: - Tungsten tip points for most soil conditions: The point has a sharper angle of entry and therefore has a chisel effect on the ground surface
- Tungsten chipped points also available for stoney conditions
Gearbox: - Variable speed gearbox with quick change sprockets (no tools required) for high and low ratio
- Optional slowdown kit available if required for regions where ultra low sowing rates are required (e.g. 600gms/ha)
- Standard gearing is from 1kg for brassicas up to 300kg for peas.
Seeders: - Registered design owned by Thian Agri Manufacturing Ltd
- Fully enclosed sponge feed system which deters rodent and bird access/damage
- Eliminates seed spillage due to wind drift
- Easy clean-down of the drill between plantings
- EAsy replacement of sponges
- Designed with spacer blocks to achieve either 100mm or 150mm row spacings
- Gentle on seeds
- Will plant seeds ranging from clover to peas and maize
