In line with their no-till mantra, AerWorx offers up a drill that is straightforward, efficient and competitively priced.
The AerWorx VIPER series, which attracted much attention at Groundswell 25, will again be on display at this year’s show. Suitable for grassland and arable use, the drill can accommodate a variety of seed sizes from clover to peas.
The linkage mounted drill has a standard hopper capacity of 1000L (other sizes available) mounted over the frame. Seeds are gravity fed to the 19/21/23 staggered rows (depending on model) of 10mm spring coulters with 125mm tine spacing and a working width up to 3m.
Making light work of the tough conditions last year, depth is controlled by hydraulic adjustments of the coulter parallel linkage. Adjustments of individual spring tension and coulter disc positioning enables precise drilling in a wide range of conditions up to 100mm.
The hopper can be easily split between fertiliser and seed, which are each calibrated with separate metering to then mix in the seed delivery tubes.
Following on from the coulters are the press wheels and spring/pigtail tine levelling harrow, ensuring good seed to soil contact.
Optional extras include a tramline kit/area field meter and a trailed version.
Joining the Viper series for 2026 is the COBRA (single disc) and BOA (tine coulter) series with The Cobra offering a 540-650L hopper capacity and the Boa 1000L, both available as mounted options.
Working in synergy with their no-till AerWorx aerator, AerWorx highlights the importance of drilling into aerated ground that is not compacted so that air and water infiltration can be optimised, mitigating the impact of weather extremes and reducing the need for fertiliser use as soil health restores.
“Seriously impressed with this no-nonsense user-friendly drill!”
