Quad-Max Coupled Section Planter can be built as a thoroughbred No-Till planter or as a conventional machine. It comes in an option A & B. Planter configurations off up to 32 rows (Type A) and 36 rows (Type B) are possible without any heavy framework folding forward or upward for transport.
Fertiliser tools include the popular No-Till coulter & Trip-Tine as well as a new Coulter & Double Disc combo.

Wide configurations are built by hooking 2 sections of 10, 12, 14 or 16 rows permanently side by side.
Type B
Row spacings from 152cm to 60cm, mainly 91.4 and 76.2cm.
Wide configurations are built by hooking 2 or 3 sections of 6, 8, 10 or 12 rows permanently side by side.

Seed Metering Unit
Better seed spacing – The flat seed disc allows seeds to fall straight down from the seed disc at the 5 hour mark. The lower drop position decreases the likelihood of mispositioned seed in the seed furrow. The seed wiper at the bottom of the Monosem seed metering unit ensures that seeds fall down the centre of the seed tube. This accuracy ensures the correct positioning of each pip in the planted row.
Adjustable – The seed singulator is adjustable to fit different seed types (maize, soja, sunflower etc.). You can check for doubles or skips through the control window. You don’t have to make constant adjustments to get the perfect seed spacing. The Monosem system is not sensitive and you don’t have to adjust the vacuum.
Durable – The Monosem seed metering unit is made of aluminium. The agitator, singulator and seed wiper are made of bronze. The components are machined to the micron and calibrated at the factory for life.
Affordable replacement parts – It takes years to have to replace the wear gasket or seed disc. The seed disc is made of 1.5mm stainless steel. The wear gasket of Polyacetal Copolymer has superior friction and wear resistance characteristics.

Adjusting the Seed Singulation :
The more the lever is set towards PLUS the less aggressive the Singulator. The more the lever is set towards MINUS the more aggressive the Singulator.

Key Features :
Reliable Flow rate:
Easy maintenance
The rain cap (1) can be taken off to enable the tractor driver to see the fertiliser flow. Should there occur a blockage in the opener, the fertiliser will overflow through opening (a) even if the rain cap is in place.
Emptying, cleaning and checking of the FertiSystem auger is made easy. Just clip off two latches and the front spout (2) can be taken off. Thereafter the auger screw (4) can be pulled out by hand.
The overflow plate (3) inside the outlet spout ensures uniform fertiliser distribution even if the planter runs uphill, downhill or leans sideways on slopes. The corkscrew design of the FertiSystem auger screw make it self cleaning and fertiliser is unable to clog around this screw even if damp or
powdery.
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.
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.
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).
Independent wheel
Independant from the planting system and the rear press unit, the PRO wheel follows the ground contours for a
consistent pressing.
