PS 1600 M1: THE GIANT AMONG THE PS IMPLEMENTS

The PS 1600 M1 can be combined with many trailed soil tillage implements and has various seeding shafts for coarse and fine seed. This giant among the seed drills saves time and effort, since far less refilling is required. The large opening also enables big bag filling. Furthermore, the PS 1600 M1 is equipped with implement monitoring sensors such as a speed sensor and fill level sensor. The implement has crane straps for easier mounting.

Which is the right pneumatic seeder for me?

Selection of the right hose length

Good spreading results depend on the hose lengths and proper hose laying. On hydraulic fans, connect the longest seed hoses starting on the gearbox motor side.

Max. hose length	Max. working width	Suitable Seeder
4m	6m	PS120-500 with elec. fan
8m	6m	PS200-500 with elec. fan PLUS or hydr. fan
8m	12m	PS120-500 with elec. fan PLUS and Y-divider (fine seed)
8m	12m	PS200-500 with hydr. fan with Y-divider
10m	12m	PS800-1600 with hydr. fan
14m	12-24m	PS800-1600 with special equipment²

Selection of the right hopper size

Selection of the right fan

Calculate the spread rate per minute and using this value, find out whether you need a Pneumatic Seeder with an electric, electric PLUS or hydraulic fan.¹

Max. kg/minute	Suitable seeder
Up to 3.5 kg/min	PS120-500 with elec. fan
Up to 8 kg/min	PS120-500 with elec. fan PLUS
Up to 14 kg/min	PS200-500 with hydr. fan
Up to 30 kg/min	PS800-1600 with hydr. fan

Example

The Johnson family wants to spread 45 kg/ha of a cover crop mixture at a speed of 10 km/h, the Pneumatic Seeder will be mounted on a 6 m cultivator.

With this result, the Johnson family could purchase a PS of the versions 200–500 with electric fan PLUS or hydraulic fan. The Johnson family does not have a pressureless return on their tractor. Therefore, the hydraulic fan is not possible. For this reason, the Johnson family chooses from the versions PS 200–500 with electric fan PLUS.

1. A hydraulic fan must always be used for heavy seeds (beans, peas, wheat, fertiliser). 2. Contact OzAg Machinery for more information.

5.2 Controller

The Control Box 5.2 is the most popular version of the APV Control Boxes; it handles an extensive range of functions. For example, functions such as adapting spread rate to travel speed, automatic shut-off on headlands, precise adjustability of the electrical fan, or automatic execution of the calibration test, massively facilitate your work.

Isobus Controller

All Pneumatic Seeders from APV can be controlled via the tractor‘s own terminal using the ISOBUS function. Only one ISOBUS connection needs to be available on the tractor. This enables even more professional operation and efficient use of the PS. You do not need an additional monitor in the cab and thus have a better overview. There is only one cable from the seeder to the tractor. The Section-Control enables automatic seeding wave shut-off depending on the GPS position. You can name your seed individually in the seed library. All functions of the Control Box 6.2 are available to you.
