«This is already our third Mascar Maxi seeder. The first one appeared on our farm three years ago. Each seeder covers around 1,000 ha a year, sowing sunflower, commercial corn, and sweet corn. Along with sowing, the seeder also applies fertilizer – that was actually the main reason we bought it. For the needs of our two farms – one 1,900 ha, the other over 6,000 ha – these seeders are quite enough at the moment.
We’re very happy with the seeder. It’s reliable. The metering unit can also work in dry conditions. There’s a special device in front of the coulter that keeps soil and plant residue from getting into the metering mechanism.
It’s clear the Mascar Maxi is very solidly built. So we expect our seeders to last for many years. Based on our experience with the first seeder, I can say we haven’t had any problems over these three years».

«This will be my fifth season sowing with the Mascar Maxi seeder. It’s worth noting that it works quite well. Every year on our farm, which works 1,600 ha of arable land, we sow around 800 ha with it, and sometimes it reaches up to 1,000 ha.
The model we’re using doesn’t apply fertilizer. For sunflower, for example, we only apply chicken manure, which is done using other equipment.
A distinctive feature of the Mascar Maxi seeder is its reliability. Over all five years, I’ve only replaced four bearings on the press wheels. Repairs are quite simple and don’t require additional help from «Astra»’s service engineers.
