Seeder-Roller:SmP Set-Roll 1.0 for horse traction

摘要

By multiple field tests, the possible range of use of the new seeder-roller combination SmP Sei-Roll Concept 1.0 for seeding by horse traction was analyzed.Tests and measurements in summer 2014 showed that this implement requires a medium draft power and is thus suited to a single horse hitch.By seeding and rolling in one pass, it comes up with good operating results, especially on light soil and this even at the low working speed of a draft horse. Thanks to an adequate working width and fully adjustable hitch and traction devices, a good working comfort for the horse is guaranteed.In order to improve the working results on heavier soils, the retrofitting of a seed covering harrow should be envisaged. Furthermore a support leg could simplify the hitching and unhitching of the draught horse.Further information about a horses acceptable draft power can be found at www.schaffmatpaerd.org.
