MILESTONES Since 1834, Gaspardo designs and manufactures implements following just one aim: to satisfy professionals’ requests from all over the World. Nowadays, seeding technology has affected the production, leading to machines that can sow without tillage, or reducing it to a minimum; the number of handled rows has increased according to the risen power of tractors. The Company is able to product out-and-out monuments up to 48 rows to meet the requirements of the biggest cereal farms in the world.

PLANTING UNIT RUGGED FOR ROUGH! Arm Strong This planting unit is designed for seeding in rough conditions and at high working speeds. The parallel linkage arm is made of one high tensile steel cast piece. This design prevents from twisting and bending under loads and impacts which can occur in the toughest working conditions. Unit down-pressure The adjustable spring allows to set the down-pressure compared to the soil condition. Adjust it to set the proper downforce from 115 kg up to 140 kg.
High working range No manteinance 60 l hopper capacity Self lubricant bushings Accuracy Prevent doubles with the fine adjustment of the doubles eliminator Match soil condition The adjustable spring allows to manage the down pressure Versatile Replacing the seeding plate is quick and easy Fine depth control Continuos adjustment from 1 to 12 cm Free of maintenance Even seed placement The shaft is dust proof and lasting long Walking gauge wheels Fine adjustments Front blade and clod pusher can be i
OPTIONS AND FEATURES CUSTOMIZE YOUR PLANTER TO MATCH PLANTING CONDITIONS! Different front attachments are available to guarantee perfect seeding in different soil conditions. Clods Pusher The adjustable clod pusher moves dry soil and clods away from sowing slot, the front mounted independent coulter can cut the soil for a prime furrow opening on tilled soils conditions. Front disc Unit front mounted disc coulter cuts into hard soil in reduced till conditions.
LONG LASTING PERFORMANCE WITH LOW MAINTENANCE! Save money and time reducing maintenance operations. Cardan Shaft Drive Forget chains, lubrication and dusty wearing. No fear while working on high residues, stalks can’t damage it. Bushings Self-lubricating sintered bushes, release oil particles that lubricate the hinge and are maintenance free. Super Scraper The scraper has a wear resistant Tungsten carbide profile for NO-STOP working.
PLANTING CONSISTENCY DEPTH CONTROL Set planting depth from 1 up to 12 cm thanks to the two wide gauge wheels with equalizing system to control seeding depth by counteracting left and right wheels. Even seeding depth control is guaranteed in rough soil conditions.
Gauge Wheels Gauge wheels consolidate soil immediately after furrow opening. Most down pressure is given on the side while the top soil closer to the furrow is just gently firmed before rear closing wheels. Walking gauge wheels Due to the largest diameter of double disc the walking gauge wheels action is guaranteed also planting at high depth (ex: 8 cm in dry soils) .
ACCURACY AND EXPERIENCE ACCURACY PLANTERS Accuracy The vacuum system gently pulls and individually holds the seeds into flat seed plate holes, regardless inconsistency in shape and size. Seed Singulator The double seed singulator action can be checked from back inspection door and it can be very quickly and easily adjusted. Singulation is carried out on inner side and outer side of holes avoiding in this way doubles.
The excellent Gaspardo’s precision improves your yield significantly reducing payoff. Seeding faults are avoided and even spacing guarantees higher productivity. …A story that last long. My family have owned nine GASPARDO planters over the years. The latest MANTA stroke me the most for the great furrow opening capability and the accuracy of seed delivery. I like the folding frame and its flexibility to follow every contours.
SEED COVERING PERFECT SEED COVERING AND OPTIMAL SEED TO SOIL CONTACT Closing Wheels Adjustable Wheels Staggered Wheels Rubber Tire 2” Rubber Tire 1” Cam adjustment Closing rear press wheels with sealed bearings and bolt through design. Standard 2” rubber-tire closing wheels suitable for conventionally tilled and loose soil. The soft rubber prevents soil from sticking in wet conditions. 14 Adjustable wheels to optimize furrow closing up.
NUTRIENTS ARE AVAILABLE LOCALIZED FERTILIZER: NO WASTE! The in-row fertilize distribution reduces and improves its efficiency. Thanks to the big tank capacity and Flexeed metering system, a fine calibration of granular fertilizer is easy to achieve. The fan blows the air flow which takes granular fertilizer to the distribution heads and eventually to the rows. The granular fertilizer is evenly distributed into the furrows which are opened by the double disc coulters.
Double Disc Coulter Depending on the planter version and on crop requirements, fertilizer can be distributed by suffolk opener, double-disc opener or by pneumatic distribution directly into the seeding furrow.
