Eliseo Cofreces from Palencia needed a higher performance seed drill and decided in favour of a TERRASEM 4000T with a working width of four meters. He drilled his 275 hectares of arable fields in combination with a 220 hp tractor in no time. "For me the reduction in costs due to fewer passes and the robust design of the machine really mattered", explains Cofreces, "our stony soil demands a lot from the machine because it requires the highest material and strength specifications."

Contractor Oscar Andrés also based his investment decision on the large seed hopper and the share system for exact seed placement. He also rates the ease of use as "Bueno", saying "the step-less depth control for the leading tillage tools lets you respond to varying soil conditions without having to leave the cab".

Jose Antonio García, who grows potatoes and grain on his 225 hectares, is also convinced. "With the 2400 litre seed hopper I can drill eight to ten hectares without stopping. I also really like the trailed pressure rollers that provide the seed with optimum germination conditions and leave behind a tidy soil surface", reports the proud owner.

Next to his job as mayor of Santervás de Campos (Valladolid), Santiago Baeza also farms approximately 400 ha. He has been using a TERRASEM 3000T since 2004 and is delighted. "With barley I have been able to reduce the quantity of seed by 30 to 40 kg per hectare at the same time as noticeably increasing yield!" explains Santiago. The reason for this is the uniform seed placement depth and spacing, providing ideal conditions for each individual plant. "With my 135 hp tractor I achieve up to three hectares an hour in the larger fields - an enormous increase in performance" says Santiago, extremely satisfied. He uses the time saved to contract out services to other farmers.
