New Holland Air Disc Drills - P2185 - 40 ft

PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE IN THE FIELD

The P2080 disc drill model is specifically designed for P1000 Series air cart applications. It’s offered in 30, 40, 50 and 60 ft. (9.1, 12.2, 15.2 and 18.3 m) widths in 7.5 or 10 in. (19.1 or 25.4 cm) spacing for big acres and maximum productivity. The frame design offers exceptional weight distribution that is ideal for many different crops and soil types. In addition, the narrow V-shape envelope adds additional stability for safe and convenient transport to and from the field.

PARALLEL LINK DESIGN

Industry-leading patented parallel link design provides even seeding placement at higher speeds and on rougher terrains. It ensures best-in-class emergence in a wide variety of soil, seeding depths, and field conditions. The low-maintenance design allows farmers to spend more time where it counts – in the field.

DEPTH CONTROL

For a customer who demands high productivity, look no further than the P2080 disc drill. The true 0-3.5 in. (0-88.9 mm) depth settings accommodate all seeding depths. The single-handed adjustment makes the P2080 the easiest depth adjustment on the market.

ACCURATE SEED PLACEMENT

The accurate seed placement is ideal for small grains such as wheat, barley, rice and canola. The new scraper and opener geometry allow for consistent seeding depth across the range of operations. There is no need for a seed shelf, as the seed can be placed in the bottom of the trench. High mounting of the seed tube ensures reduced wear, long life, and reduced plugging over the competition. The 18 in. (457.2 mm) disc cuts cleanly through the heaviest crop residue to ensure optimal seed-to-soil contact. This ideal disc size reduces residue 'hair pinning' and maximizes seed-to-soil contact for ideal seed germination. The discs are also set at a seven-degree angle to open a uniform seed trench where the seed is accurately placed.

CLOSING SYSTEM DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE VARIOUS SOIL CONDITIONS

A heavy-duty-rubber, smooth-faced concave 4 x 12 in. (101.6 x 304.8 mm) packer wheel is designed specifically for exceptional closing in tough conditions, whether you have clay, sand or both types of soils. The double-edge closing wheel follows behind to seal the trench and is effective in a wide variety of soil conditions. The closed trench is essential to providing maximum seed-to-soil contact for uniform germination and plant stand establishment. The hollow center of the closing system further maintains a smooth field finish and reduces soil compaction.

VARIABLE PACKING PRESSURE RANGE ADJUSTMENT

The operator can further tailor the drill for varying moisture conditions and soil types with the variable packing pressure range adjustment. There are three convenient settings of 60, 75 and 85 lbs. (27.2, 34, and 38.6 kg) of available variable packing pressure for each row unit.

IN-CAB DOWN-PRESSURE CONTROL

In-cab hydraulic down pressure adjustment is standard equipment, allowing operators to make on-the-go adjustments without leaving the seat by using the IntelliView™ IV display. Three convenient presets help maintain ideal row-unit down pressure for changing field conditions. (ISO11783 electronics compatible with IntelliView IV monitors)

SECTIONAL CONTROL

P2080 drills can now be set up with P1000 Series New Holland Air Carts equipped with two-section control. This option provides capabilities to shut off drill sections with the push of a button, or automatically via GPS. This option significantly reduces input costs and increases yields by eliminating overlap on turn rows and odd-shaped fields.

SEPARATE, FIXED PLACEMENT ZONES FOR SEED AND FERTILIZER

The unique precision sideband knife creates an ideal “shelf” for the seed with fertilizer banded one inch (25.4 mm) below and one inch (25.4 mm) to the side of the seed – ideal placement for maximum uptake when the seed germinates, and optimal seed-to-fertilizer placement. 

The seed knife is cast using unique metal chemistry and a carbide edge for durability and extended wear. In addition, the knife is cushioned and rubber shock isolated to prevent damage from impacts. The knife is easy to replace when needed.

The double-shoot precision placement knife places seed and fertilizer in separate planes in a single operation for maximum uptake and optimal seed-to-fertilizer placement.

CUT THROUGH TOUGH RESIDUE WITH REDUCED HAIR-PINNING

Rugged Earth Metal® discs are made with a hardened metal compound that won’t dent or shatter. They cut through the heaviest crop residue and, combined with the precision sideband knife, greatly reduce hair-pinning at the seed.

PRECISE DEPTH CONTROL
