Flexi-Coil’s Aussie-spec 7200 Precision Hoe Drill

Tillage expert Flexi-Coil has introduced the new 7200 Precision Hoe Drill, designed specifically for Australian conditions to deliver industry-leading seeding depth consistency and optimal crop emergence.

The 7200, which made its Australian debut at the 2024 Henty Machinery Field Days on September 17, has undergone significant modifications from the Canadian model, including a completely redesigned row unit, updated bushes and pivots, and a balanced parallelogram to stop the row unit from twisting to maintain seed placement.

Key features of the 7200 include the movement of the parallelogram to maintain a 1:1 ratio, a short row unit frame depth, and ISOBUS cab control for packing and trip pressure.

The 7200 can reach a sowing depth of up to 75mm in 1mm increments, and can easily fold back for safe transport and storage with four-wheel drive tractors.

“The Flexi-Coil 7200 is designed to be a versatile machine, different options for openers and press wheels are available to accommodate varying soil types,” said Andrew Kissel, Product Manager for Crop Production ANZ/APAC.

“It’s built to be efficient and reliable for small grain farmers looking to gain an advantage in yields by having superior seed and fertiliser placement.

“Crop emergence is one of the key concerns for our customers, and the 7200 has been designed with a focus on maximising this. Using agronomically proven design principles, such as ensuring consistent seed depth and even plant population across the field, the 7200 can significantly enhance yield potential.”
