SP Sprint

SP SPRINT model is the result of GASPARDO brand’s over ten years’ experience in the precision planter sector. Simplicity, reliability and accuracy are the strengths that make the machine ideal for precision planting on cultivated soils, with minimal or no crop residue. SP SPRINT with fixed frame is available with 45 or 75 cm row spacing, as well as special sizes, for a number of rows between 2 and 8.

SP Planting Units

The well-known planting unit uses the parallelelogram connection system with load spring which guarantees both to faithfully follow the profile of the ground and to adjust the pressure on the ground. The mechanical transmission, synonymous with maximum reliability, allows the quick disengagement of one or more rows, guaranteeing control of the individual sections.

High Specialization

SP SPRINT model is characterized by a fix mounted frame. SP SPRINT is available with a corn-type unit, with suffolk and clod breaker or with a double disc coulter (on request) and with a beet-type unit with a rocker arm system and dedicated ejector for pelleted seeds. The versatility in the field can be increased thanks to optional equipment such as the microgranulator and the fertilizer spreader.

Planting Quality

The lowered position of the pneumatic vacuum spreading system, very close to the planting furrow, guarantees high precision of the seed placement distance, while the constant depth is ensured by a special adjustable rear wheel.

Shaft Transmission 

The system with bevel gears and cardan shaft guarantees extremely reduced maintenance compared to chain machines, providing for only periodic greasing of the bevel gears.

SP Unit Has 3 Variants To Ensure It Adapts To The Needs Of Different Soils & Crops:

1.Standard Corn Version
The front clod breaker facilitates the action of the suffolk coulter. With the right seeding disc, this version is suitable for all crops (corn, sorghum, soy, sunflower, cotton, bean, tomato, …) on well-worked soils.

2. Double Disc Version
The 370 mm double front disc facilitates the opening of the planting furrow on the more difficult soils. This configuration maintains the front clod breaker and the suffolk coulter. The two discs are kept clean by the mud scrapers.

3. Beet Version
The configuration with wheeled rocker arm guarantees an absolutely constant placement depth.  The seed press wheel facilitates contact between seed and soil, for rapid and uniform germination. The closure of the planting furrow is ensured by the rear “V” wheels.

Distribution Of Fertilizer & Microgranular Products

MINIMAX volumetric metering unit is easily adjustable and allows the spreading of both fertilizer and microgranular products, while maintaining high distribution accuracy. Furthermore, through SPEEDY SET, setting the dose to be distributed is quick and convenient.

The burying of the fertilizer on the side of the planting row is made possible thanks to the coulter. Two versions are available:

Suffolk Coulter: 
Suitable for well-prepared soils, especially very fine ones, where there is not much crop residue on the surface.

Double Disc Coulter:
Suitable for tougher worked soils or with crop residues present on the surface.
