The evolution of VENTA seed drills:
a journey through innovation
VENTA AL: groundbreaking loading!
The VENTA AL seed drill, a silver medallist at SIMA, made a strong impression thanks to its mobile hopper offering a comfortable and innovative loading solution. This model, equipped with Suffolk coulters, was particularly appreciated for allowing seeding in difficult conditions. The FLEXIDRILL seeding units, consisting of Suffolk coulters and a rotor with paddles, quickly became available to facilitate passage in the presence of residue.
VENTA LC: unmatched seeding precision
The VENTA LC seeding combinations marked a significant step in the field of seeding thanks to the introduction of the new double discs and SEEDFLEX seeding units, renowned for their precision. Their 1200 l hopper with a wide opening, combining compactness and large capacity, was a real success.
VENTA EC: a compact and light-weight seed drill
The VENTA EC seed drills are characterized by their light weight, which limits the required pull power. Single disc seeding units were introduced, providing an economical and versatile solution, capable of working in wet conditions or in the presence of residues.
VENTA NC: seeking operational autonomy and speed
To meet the growing needs of farms, the hopper capacity of the VENTA NC seed drills has been increased to 2000 litres. The Combining the SEEDFLEX seeding units and the positioning of the seed drill on the power harrow roller frame has offered new possibilities to farmers looking for precise and fast seeding while limiting downtime.
VENTA 1000 & 100: an optimal comfort
User comfort was given top priority. It takes less than 10 minutes to hitch or unitch the seed drill which is directly coupled to the chassis of the power harrow, offering numerous advantages in terms of maneuverability, work quality and ease of adjustment. Seeding is now managed via the VT 30 terminal or an ISOBUS terminal for precision farming! The difference between the 100 & 1000 ranges? Their size. The VENTA 100 series is characterized by its compactness and light weight while the VENTA 1000 series offers a larger capacity.
We thank everyone who has contributed to the history and success of the VENTA. Together, let's continue this wonderful adventure!
