1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE SEEDER

This agricultural equipment, called "SP Pneumatic Seeder", can
only operate by means of a Cardan shaft applied to the power
take-off of an agricultural tractor equipped with a lifting unit, with
a three-point universal joint.
The equipment is 'particularly suitable for precision seeding, for
multi-purpose use and on any kind of tilled land . The seeding
machine is pneumatically operated and may be equipped with
various accessories, such as, for example, a manure spreader,
granulate distribution, and additional seeding elements.
The fundamental concept of the "modularity" has been developed
and combined with that of "simplicity", not only for structure but
also for practicality of use.
