Pro Wheel Option
The press wheel has been used for years on the vegetable and sugarbeet planters. MONOSEM has adapted this concept to the multipurpose planters with a large diameter press wheel, the PRO wheel.
- Consistent pressing
- Improved plant emergence
- Optimal germination
- Better seed placement quality
Large diameter press wheel
The PRO wheel in aluminium has a stainless steel coating and a plastic scraper. Wide diameter (295mm), it keeps its shape and offers a quality pressing and a better seed placement. By improving the seed-to-soil contact, the emergence is more rapid and regular.
Combined adjustment
The packing down pressure of the PRO wheel is adjustable. It is combined with the pressure adjustment of the rear packing unit (a).
Integrated hooking up system
When the conditions are not suitable for the use of the PRO wheel, it can be very quickly retracted. Just lift the PRO wheel up by hand and lower the lock with the other. And the wheel is no longer in contact with the ground.
Independent wheel
Independant from the planting system and the rear press unit, the PRO wheel follows the ground contours for a
consistent pressing.

Fertiliser Auger
The Fertisystem Auto-Lub® augers are made from highly durable corrosion free components. The stainless steel Fertisystem® auger shaft runs on two 6006.2RS ball bearings that are extremely well protected. The protection consists of a stainless steel washer, felt seal, exit hole, o-ring, oil seal and bearing seal. This design ensures many years of supreme performance without much maintenance.The Fertisystem Auto-Lub® augers are superbly performing fertiliser augers of a new generation. These augers are maintenance free and require minimum cleaning. Their open, spiral-like screw is very accurate and works very well even with damp or powdery fertilise
Key Features:
Reliable Flow rate:
Easy maintenance
Cream colour rain cap (1) can be taken off completely. Without cap (1), the tractor operator can easily monitor the fertiliser distribution. Even with cap, fertiliser will overflow through opening (a) in case of blockage in the opener. Service and cleaning is made easy as the front spout (2) clips off and the auger screw (3) can be pulled out by hand.
Dry Fertiliser Bins
8-Row with four 600 litre bins
350 litre fertilizer bin with two Fertisystem® augers
6-row fitted with three 500 litre bins
Dry fertiliser bins are offered with 250, 350, 500 or 600 litre capacity. The are made from a heavy duty polyethylene that makes them lightweight but still highly durable. The lightweight tanks allow for larger fertiliser loads to be used and effectively reduces down time due to refilling.
Electronic Control Options

9-pin ISOBUS connector
Possible options include :
• Hydraulic drives for seed or fertiliser
• Electric drive for seed or fertiliser
• Variable seeding rate
• Variable fertiliser rate
• Individual row shut-off

Granular Options
Separate MICROSEM hopper 20 Litre for two row units
Adjustment of the Microsem
Adjustment of the microgranulators is made using a gearbox with 18 ratios. If needed, other sprockets are available and also a quick declutching system.
40-litre hoppers are also available on option
Distribution by auger
The principle of the Microsem distribution is based on a system of auger. The microgranules contained in the hopper are picked up by 2 augers (1). The agitators (2) allow for a regular feed of these augers. A finger wheel (3) then distributes the product uniformly in the chutes (4).
