The Sumo 8M DTS is a direct seed drill designed for precision crop establishment across a range of soil types and conditions. Direct seed drills are used to sow seeds directly into the soil in a single operation, eliminating the need for separate seedbed preparation and offering significant time and fuel savings during the spring and autumn drilling seasons.
This 2013 model is equipped with a comprehensive specification of advanced drilling and soil-engaging components. The machine features hydraulic operation of its fan system and is fitted with coulter blockage sensors to monitor and alert the operator to seed-flow interruptions. Radar metering technology provides accurate seed rate control and placement. The drill is furnished with tungsten-tipped duck foot coulters, which are designed to cut through residue and create a precise seed slot while minimizing soil disturbance. A tungsten-tipped auto-reset drainage leg works in conjunction with staggered drainage legs and coulters to maintain consistent seed depth and soil contact across varying ground conditions. Covering discs follow behind to close the seed slot, while front leading slitting discs prepare the soil ahead of the main coulters. Press wheels consolidate the soil over the seed to encourage rapid germination and establishment.
The machine rides on 710/35R22.5 flotation tyres, which provide good ground contact and weight distribution on softer or wet soils. Side stabiliser wheels enhance transport stability and field control. The metalwork is reported to be in very good condition. The machine is located in the United Kingdom and is priced at $23,030.
