Vredo Twin Agri Seeder
Vredo Twin Agri Seeder

Following the success of the Vredo Agri Seeder last year, JC Machinery is launching a new range into the UK - the Vredo Agri Twin Overseeder

The Vredo Agri series has an excellent reputation in the global agricultural sector. These heavy duty but precise constructed machines are a must for every contractor who wants to offer a total package for grassland rejuvenation. Whether in autumn, after heavy winters, or following the first silage cut, it is necessary to renovate and direct overseed grassland areas to create a new and healthy sward. The new wide Vredo Agri Twin series has the capability to overseed all your grassland areas at the right time, throughout the year.

Overseeding is only useful if the seed is being sown direct into the soil. Vredo’s widest overseeders are also equipped with the famous Double-Disc-System. This system guides all seed into the small slit, which guarantees a quick germination and deep rooting of the injected seed. The pairs of discs have a row distance of only 7.5 cm, which guarantees a complete close and healthy sward. Research in Germany confirmed that the Vredo system generates a germination rate of 96%.

The Vredo Agri Twin overseeder has two sections, each with a 2.90 meter working width. This results in an overall working width of 5.8 meters. These sections fold hydraulically into transport position and lock automatically. In transport position the machine is only 3.0 meters wide and is equipped with a light kit for safe road transport. There is also an Agri Twin overseeder with a working width of 4.4m and 7.5 cm row spacings. This model only comes with a smooth roller and weighs approximately 2000 kg.

It follows undulations very accurately as the 2 sections pivot and every pair of discs is spring loaded. The seed hopper with a 200 litre capacity can be filled safely via a standing platform. The pneumatic / mechanical seed distribution is adjustable from 3 to 210 kg/hectare. This enables an accurate and quick calibration, with a working speed of 13 km/hr.

As an option the Vredo Agri Twin can be supplied with a digital hectare counter and ring roller. The packer rings are perfect for following undulations on rough, stony surfaces.

The Vredo Agri Twin overseeder is the most professional seeder of its kind. If quality, capacity and results make the difference to you. The innovation of Vredo is once again taking the lead in efficiency and improvement in equipment for the worldwide agricultural sector.
