On the quality of sowing work, the time spent on it, as well as the consumption of seed, fertilizers, etc. depends on the economic efficiency of the farm. Gaspardo products will allow you to perform this part of agricultural work with high performance, making a corresponding contribution to the overall efficiency of the entire farm.
Seeders Gaspardo
The history of the Gaspardo brand begins in 1836, when the production of sowing equipment began. Nowadays it is one of the most popular manufacturers of equipment for tillage, cultivation, sowing, spraying, fertilizing, etc.
Advantages and disadvantages
The equipment is distinguished by its ease of use, efficiency, reliability, and the ability to select the necessary modification by installing a different number of sowing sections, containers for fertilizers or devices for drip irrigation organizations. A variety of optional equipment is available. This brand is not often found on domestic fields, but deserves more attention.
Design features
Most models allow you to vary the row spacing, sowing with control of the depth of seed distribution; if the seeder consists of separate sections, depending on the size of the frame, it is possible to install different numbers of them.
The transmission of Gaspardo seeders uses a cardan drive instead of a chain drive, which increases reliability and reduces maintenance requirements for the unit. Depending on the soil characteristics, different press wheels can be used.
Quick reconfiguration of the seeder to work with a different type of seed reduces downtime and increases the efficiency of using equipment.
Gaspardo – GASPARDO MT8
The Gaspardo MT8 pneumatic seeder is a perfect high-performance equipment for all types of row crops. It is effective both on prepared soils, soils with minimal tillage, and in the presence of crop residues.
Gaspardo MT guarantees high performance both when sowing on prepared soil (traditional sowing) and on soil with minimal tillage.
High sowing speed, constant seed placement depth, and precise contour following ensure uniform germination of sown crops. Gaspardo makes sure that your equipment serves you for a long time.
The MT sowing sections are installed on independent parallelograms with powerful pressure springs, which, together with two rubber depth control wheels, guarantee a constant set sowing depth regardless of the conditions.
The design of the vacuum disc metering device uses a double regulator, which guarantees the highest sowing accuracy of both treated seeds and irregularly shaped seeds. The dosing unit is driven by a precise, lubrication- and maintenance-free cardan transmission.
The Gaspardo company's patented MiniMax design of volumetric dosers for dry mineral fertilizers ensures a precisely specified dosage ranging from 50 to 700 kg/ha without loss of accuracy. Dosage regulation is carried out quickly and conveniently by the centralized Speed Set system.
High reliability and ease of maintenance of the seeder is observed in every detail. These include sealed, maintenance-free Super Seal coulter bearings, self-lubricating parallelogram sinter bushings, and simple adjustment and adjustment elements. All this makes the Gaspardo MT seeder very easy to maintain and highly reliable in operation.

Pneumatic precision seeders for vegetable crops
The Gaspardo company produces several series of pneumatic seeders for vegetable crops. Depending on the conditions, they can have a different number of sowing sections and are easily rebuilt when changing seeds of different crops.
SP
A series of universal precision seeders for any field, from stubble to plowed fields. The design of the seeder allows you to install a different number of sowing sections. Each of them has its own support wheel, which allows you to accurately repeat the profile of the surface and the contact of the opener with it. Replaceable seed discs simplify and speed up the transition from sowing one crop to another, which uses seeds of different sizes. Special spatulas prevent the seed from sticking together.

Olimpia
Pneumatic seeder Olympia, a distinctive feature of which is a double seed distributor, which allows you to sow them with a distance between lines from 40 to 90 mm. If a press wheel is used, the minimum value is 70 mm. In each section, the sowing elements are arranged in a checkerboard pattern. Depending on the size of the frame used, from 3 to 12 sections can be installed.
The seeding disc used has a diameter of 220 mm and, due to the fact that it rotates at a lower speed when moving, high precision of seed distribution is ensured.
The fan, driven by the tractor PTO, creates a vacuum to fill the holes of the seed discs with seeds and blow them through after placing the seeds in the soil.

Seeder Maschio-Gaspardo MT 8 rows 70 cm with fertilizers (disc coulter, MTR sowing unit)
The MT mounted pneumatic precision seed drill with fertilizer application is designed for sowing corn, sunflower, beets and other crops (with replaceable discs).
Suitable for working in difficult conditions and minimally prepared soil.
Advantages
1. The sowing unit is designed for sowing in difficult conditions at high operating speeds. The parallel cast beam is made of high-strength steel. The design allows it to withstand large torsional and bending forces and shocks that occur under difficult working conditions.
2. Pneumatic control of the working position of the machine. Adjustable springs make it possible to adjust the working force on the soil depending on its type. Pressure force adjustment range from 115 to 140 kg.
3. large double cultivator discs with a diameter of 420 mm, a thickness of 4 mm guarantee long-term preservation of performance indicators, long service life due to the restoration of the cutting edges of the discs by removing the spacer washers from the assembly of the fastening unit.
4. The adjustable clod breaker discards the clods and topsoil before cutting by the front-mounted independent cultivator, allowing it to cut the soil and create excellent turning conditions.
5. Innovative drive shaft drive. Forget about chains, grease and bearings clogged with dust. Don't be afraid to work in fields with a lot of crop residue. Stems and roots will not damage the car.
7. Super scraper! The scrapers are equipped with a wear-resistant profile made of tungsten carbide and designed for non-stop operation.
8. Super compacted hubs. Bearings with two rows of balls with larger than nominal dimensions and guaranteeing reliable operation in the most adverse conditions. Long service life is ensured by a triple seal and the hub is dustproof and ideal for use in wet conditions.
9. Gauge wheels compact the soil immediately after opening the furrow. Most of the compaction pressure is distributed to the sides, and the top soil towards the center of the furrow is lightly compacted to allow the rear wheels to pass to close the furrow.
10. Absolute precision of sowing. The vacuum system gently pulls out the seeds and holds them in the holes of the seed plate, regardless of their size or shape. Seeding tube: The special tube design prevents the seeds from bouncing off when dropped. The clamp alleviates potential seed tube contact with opening disc harrows, which can cause vibration and wear. The absence of vibration in the seed tube ensures more consistent seed placement. Seed Braking System: When seeds enter the narrow V-shaped furrowers, they stop instantly, keeping them evenly spaced. The seed falling speed decreases from 10 to 0 km/h in less than 1/12 of a second.
12. Seed separator. The operation of the twin seed separator is easily checked through the rear inspection door and can be adjusted quickly and easily. Seed separation is carried out both on the inner and outer sides of the slab opening, which effectively avoids sowing twins.
13. Self-lubricating, sintered bearings, automatically discharging oil contaminants, resulting in no maintenance required.
14. Can be mounted with tractors of traction class 1.4 (71 - 100 hp), such as Belarus (MTZ) 82.1, provided that the REAR HITCH REINFORCEMENT KIT is used.
15. The MINIMAX volumetric distributor is easily adjustable and allows you to distribute fertilizers with different dosages, without losing distribution accuracy: 50-700 kg/hectare. Centralized, convenient, quick setup - SPEEDY SET! The SOFT FEEDER volumetric distributor continuously dispenses the product without causing damage to the grain. An element made of silicone rubber and with a plastic body guarantees durability against corrosion.
