The new MATRIX 1800

Mechanical precision seeder, 18-rows, row width 45 or 50 cm, for seeding of beets, canola and chicory roots.

Product features | The new MATRIX 1800

The latest generation of the MATRIX series impresses with its exact depth guidance, precise singling and depositing as well as convenient operation. The 12-row or 18-row mechanical precision seeder can be used for seeding beet, canola-seed and seed of root chicory. Thanks to the new parallelogram suspension, the seeding unit is guided precisely in the row and, thanks to the additional coulter pressure available, even in difficult soil conditions. The machine is suitable for conventional seeding (after ploughing) and mulch seeding (with reduced tillage), using a row width of 45 or 50 cm. A wide range of different caster wheels is available for various soil conditions. The precision seeder is operated via an ISOBUS compatible CCI 800, CCI 1200 operator terminal or alternatively via the tractor terminal. Smart assistance systems such as Section Control, Clever Planting, the new MATRIX-seed or Variable Rate Control can be used to implement targeted agricultural measures. Relevant machine information can be accessed, managed and exchanged via a data interface using the myGRIMME end customer portal.

Precice seed placement

Low drop height leads to a precise seeding into the seed furrow

Fast movement between fields

The hydraulic lifting and folding mechanism, without sensors, ensures a quick change from field to field.

Quick and tool-free adjustment

The new frame and single row concept allows the MATRIX to be adjusted without tools and without having to move between the rows. To ensure that the seeding units of rows with a running wheel are also easily accessible, the running wheels can be folded up and locked into place without tools for maintenance and cleaning work.

Electrical single row drive

The electric single-row drive enables variable spacing of tubers and seed, Clever Planting, Section Control, MATRIX-seed and the creation of so-called turnpike-rows as well as harvest-windows.

Easy creation of so-called "harvest windows".

Defined "bed markings" can be created by selecting the number of rows (e.g. 6 rows) and the distance (e.g. 2 m).

Dust and splash-proof seed boxes

Dust and splash-proof seed boxes with snap-on lids and a practical handle for secure closing.

Optimum adaptation to the ground contour

The increasing importance of mechanical weed control makes a precise, central placement of the seed in the row necessary. The revised parallelogram meets these requirements in a perfect way, thanks to its true-to-gauge seed-placement.
