A SPECIALLY DESIGNED SEED DRILL FOR DIRECT DRILLING
DIRECTO NO is a no-till seed drill with a robust design for direct seeding into stubble, catch crops, tilled or untilled soil. The unique seeding coulter is able to establish crops even in the most difficult conditions of large amounts of crop residues or very dry and difficult to work soils. Up to three crops can be drilled in a single pass, or fertiliser can be placed simultaneously during seeding.

DIRECT DRILLING
Discover the agronomic advantages.
The direct drilling technology completely differs from the used crop establishment methods. Direct drilling does not guarantee increased yields, but it can help you fight soil erosion and degradation. The considerable reduction in the number of passes reduces soil hardening and avoids disrupting soil capillarity. The soil cover of the field guarantees minimum moisture evaporation. The root system helps recover the soil structure.
DIRECT STAR
Patented seeding coulter for direct drilling.
The DIRECT STAR single disc seeding coulter has been developed over several years to be able to work at 100% in almost all seeding conditions directly in stubble, catch crops as well as in tilled soil. Row sapcing 16.7 cm, seeding coulter distance in a row 33.4 cm. The high downforce of 300 kg on the seeding coulter guarantees proper seed placement even in heavy soils. The minimum seeding depth is 2 cm.
FERTILISER COULTER
Unique equipment of the DIRECTO NO seed drill.
For the DIRECTO NO seed drill, we have designed a unique fertiliser coulter that places the fertiliser “under the seed” and slightly to the side. The fertiliser placement depth can be adjusted from 3 to 10 cm. The fertiliser coulters are mounted on a beam. The fertiliser placement depth of the fertiliser coulter is set centrally – there is no need to adjust each disc individually
INCREASE THE YIELD POTENTIAL
With the fertiliser coulter
The fertiliser coulter places the fertiliser deeper and slightly to the side. This fertilizer deposited by zone ensures plant nutrition in the later stages of growth and supports targeted root development in the lower layers of the topsoil, thus eliminating stress factors, especially a lack of water. Zonal application improves the development of crops especially in autumn and helps the plants to overwinter better.
Different options for seeding crops.
CLOSING WHEEL
Smooth or notched with sophisticated adjustment.
The DIRECTO NO seed drill can be equipped with two types of closing wheels – notched or smooth. The robust frame of the closing wheel keeps the direction straight. The closing wheel downforce can be adjusted mechanically to close the seed row back, and the angular position of the wheel can be changed (multiple positions – angles). The closing wheel downforce is adjusted on the scale of each seeding coulter. The downforce is created by a tensioned spring. The spring does not release from the holder.
ALFA DRILL SEEDER
Even more variability in a single pass.
In combination with the ALFA DRILL seeder, it is possible to seed up to three types of seed in a single pass or to apply microgranulate at the same time. The ALFA DRILL 400 seeder provides a hopper capacity of 400 litres. The material from the ALFA DRILL seeder can be directed into the seeding coulters, fertiliser coulters or in a 50:50 ratio.
PRESSURISED HOPPER DESIGN
Increases accuracy and allows application of even high doses.
The BEDNAR brand uses a pressurised hopper solution for all its seed drills. Overpressure is created in the hopper thanks to the airtight closure. This technical design allows for dosing large seeding amounts with high precision independent of the seed/fertiliser granule size. DIRECTO NO is equipped with a double-chamber pressurised hopper with a total capacity of 5,000 litres.
FILLING AUGER
For easy and comfortable filling.
In addition to the standard hopper filling, DIRECTO NO also offers filling with the use of a filling auger. The filling auger is a part of the optional equipment for the machine. A suitable solution for filling the seed drill is through the rear dispensing window of the semi-trailer.
INTUITIVE AND CLEAR CONTROL
ISOBUS connectivity, new control software.
Ease of use is a priority for today’s operators. DIRECTO NO is equipped with the new BEDNAR EASY CONTROL software, which guarantees easy and clear operation. The software offers clear, easy and intuitive control of the seed drill. If the seed drill is equipped with an ALFA DRILL 400 seeder, the seeder control is fully integrated into one system (no additional monitor required).
COMFORTABLE CALIBRATION
With the FARM LINK mobile application.
BEDNAR developers designed an application for mobile phones that provides easy and simple calibration of the seed drill from your mobile phone. The mobile application includes a guide that helps with the right selection of the seed metering roller based on the type of seeds/fertiliser, working speed and seeding amount.
