The Stanhay Webb Star precision air drill incorporates over 100 years of experience of Stanhay Webb’s design, test and manufacture of precision seed drills.
The most accurate, versatile and precise drill for all growers of vegetable and salad crops.
Parallel linkage allows the drill to ‘float up and down’ more effectively, following the ground and giving more accurate and consistent seed depth.
The drive chain is encased between the parallel link, lessening the chance of ‘chain jump’ and seed misses, giving you, the grower an even and consistent crop.
With its double side chassis the strength of the Star is in the design and engineering and with an easy change sprocket system the operator need only change the seed rate on different rows rather than have individual discs for each row.
The Star focuses on ease of operation and maximising profit for the grower.
The Star allows the 100% use of natural seed. Year on year comparisons would predict that the cost savings simply on natural seed use in comparison to pelleted seed would significantly outweigh the cost of the Star drill.
The Stanhay Star is able to plant up to 4 lines from each row unit. Seed discs and coulters are available in a wide range of differing options allowing the grower to tailor the drill for specific crop types, crop densities and spacings.
