One disc direct seed drill SDN SA for seeds and fertilizer Pneumatic direct seed drills with disc; Double off-center discs with internal cleaning system; Discs mounted on parallelogram with 20-25 cm stroke; Set designed to work with seeds and fertilizers (2 separate dropping points); Set of compacting wheels with adjustable working angle; Possibility of mounting 20″ front cutting discs; Models from 3 to 6 meters (seed only, or seed+fertilizer).

International Conference on Conservation Agriculture

On September 22, SOLANO HORIZONTE significant human and material resources at the International Conservation Agriculture Conference organized by the AEACSV at Finca el Pozo in Barruelo del Campo (Valladolid). In line with the conference’s theme, we presented—both in static and dynamic demonstrations—four models of minimum-till and direct-seeding planters, as well as a 1,500-liter sprayer equipped with 18-meter SH hydraulic booms. The sprayer was tested with a full tank for most of the morning, at a speed of 20–25 km/h, and stood out for the boom’s excellent stability.The four seeder models presented and tested in the afternoon were: SDR 500-4-31 Pneumatic Minimum Tillage Seeder A 2,000-liter mounted seeder with 5-meter direct-seeding arms, model SDR 500-4-31, featuring a roller and a single-row harrow with angle springs. In addition to the good penetration of the tungsten-reinforced tines into the soil, this model stood out for its excellent stubble clearance. SNC 6000 Pneumatic Direct Seeder A 6,000-liter trailed seeder with minimum tillage arms, model SNC 6000 SEM, featuring a 6-meter SDL 600-4-40 seeding unit (40 arms with tungsten-reinforced tips, in 4 rows). SDN 6-35 Pneumatic Direct Seeder A 2,565-liter trailed seeder with single direct-seeding discs, model SDN 6-35, 6 meters wide, with cast iron packer wheels. SDN+ 450-27 pneumatic direct-seeding planter A 4,000-liter trailed planter with dual offset direct-seeding discs mounted on a parallelogram, model SDN+ 450-27, 4.50 meters wide, with dual seed-fertilizer circuits, 20” front cutting discs, dual rear rubber packer wheels with adjustable working angle.

BGVL ALU aluminum hydraulic rods (side folding)

The BGVL ALU booms are structured with a central body mounted on a pendulum system and 4 arms (2 on each side). They have 9 hydraulic functions that are controlled from the tractor (cab control, electro-valve body): independent arm opening/closing (4), parallelogram lifting (1), central body locking (1), slope corrector (1) and variable geometry left +/- and as always, we have taken care and optimized the damping of the movements that impact on the structure of the bar, combining 2 systems: a. - Pneumatic suspension (air + gas shock absorber) in the parallelogram lifting (1). Pneumatic suspension (air + gas shock absorber) in the parallelogram elevation. b.- Hydro-pneumatic suspension by nitrogen balls to dampen the movements with whiplash effect and soften the work of the variable geometry.  

Solano Horizonte at DEMOAGRO 2017

We are pleased to inform you that we will participate as an exhibitor at DEMOAGRO 2017, organized by ANSEMAT on May 9, 10 and 11, 2017 in San Clemente (Cuenca). We will present you the most representative agricultural machines, both statically in our stand nº S19 and dynamically, with demonstrations in the field, of our four main product lines: Soil works Olive and almond harvesting Sowing With special emphasis on direct pneumatic seeders and minimum tillage. Spraying and atomizers With special emphasis on our hydraulic boom sprayers The exact location of the event is: Finca "la Granja" Road CM-3009 - San Clemente - La Alberca de Záncara (Latitude: 39.438528 | Longitude: -2.460833): (Map missing here) we look forward to your visit.

DEMOAGRO 2017 (San Clemente, Cuenca. Spain)

We thank all the people who have passed by our stand at DEMOAGRO 2017, where we have made a representative display of our four major lines of machinery (soil, seeding, spraying, olive and almond harvesting), and presented our new products for 2017. In soil work, we presented our new model of stubble cultivator, the RASTRO CHS, for which we have modified the design of the mooring of our long-standing and more than proven spring safety, to obtain the vertical clearance required by farmers today. We have made a large deployment of pneumatic seed drills, a line that we have expanded in recent years to have a more than complete range: conventional, minimum tillage and direct seeding, both coulter and disc (single and double); suspended models, and large capacity trailed models with the possibility of a split hopper for seed and fertilizer. This year, we have further expanded our range with a front hopper model (with electric motor-driven metering unit and speed radar), presented at the fair: As for spraying, we have exhibited a 3,000-liter atomizer with turbine Ø 1.060 mm turbine and sonar to automatically open/close spraying as it detects the leaf mass of the tree; a 3,200 liter ZEUS trailed sprayer with 24 meter aluminum booms, which have stood out for their great stability and performance at speeds of 15-20 km/h, both in a straight line and in turns. In terms of new products, we presented our new range of ELEGANT mounted sprayers for vertical hydraulic booms. At the show, we exhibited an ELEGANT 1,500 liters with 18-meter aluminum hydraulic booms, and an ELEGANT 1,800 liters with 24-meter hydraulic booms. We will shortly be providing more information on all new products for 2017. Once again, we thank you for your visit at DEMOAGRO 2017.
