The transplanter carousel is turning in clockmotion (STOP&GO). This specific feature is extremely important to guarantee a constant drop of the plants from the double-row carousel to the ground. The clockmotion allows to increase the performance per hour, the precision of the planting depth and the accuracy in the row distance. MULTIPLA is equipped with a self-cleaning kicker in the ploughshare. This device is extremely important to prevent the accumulation of the dirt in the ground opener. These features are essential to guarantee a more uniform crop that means quality and competitiveness. The MULTIPLA frame can be equipped with a 3 point hitch, a draw-bar assembly or a self-propelled unit. The self-propelled version can guarantee: easy manoeuvrability, reduction of dead times, no need for tractor driver. FERRARI offers different MULTIPLA versions according to the required row spacing (min 21 cm – max 100 cm).
