Buying farm machinery can be a difficult choice at the best of times however the array of air seeders and toolbars on offer makes it even tougher.

One of the keys when deciding which implement to purchase is matching the cropping requirements to the machine.

This will involve finding a seeder and bar that fit the agronomic parameters of the farm, taking into account factors such as stubble retention and load, inter row sowing ability, controlled traffic systems, soil types and soil throw just to name a few.
