FJD APS Precision Seeding Control Kit

Consistent seeding. Less waste. Better yield. The FJD APS upgrades traditional seed drills with electric motor drive and high-precision positioning, auto-adjusting seeding rates for perfect planting regardless of speed. It senses implement lift to stop seed flow instantly at headlands, and it's compatible with any ISOBUS terminal, turning your drill into a centimetre-precision machine that saves seed and time and boosts efficiency by 20% or more.

Constant seeding rate

A direct motor drive on the seed metering shaft removes the errors that come from ground-wheel slip on wet or sloped ground. Motor speed is matched to tractor speed for a constant per-hectare rate, holding actual seeding rate deviation within ±2%.

Automatic operation control

The system detects the implement raising and lowering: planting begins the moment the drill hits the ground and stops instantly when lifted. That prevents double-planting at headlands and cuts seed waste by 3-5%.

Quick seeding rate adjustment

Change the seeding rate instantly on the terminal screen, with no stopping for gear changes or calibration tests. A new field is set up in seconds, saving up to 15 minutes with every switch, and ground-speed changes are compensated automatically to prevent over-application.

Autosteering and ISOBUS ready

The APS works seamlessly with FJD autosteering for automated driving and seeding at ±2.5 cm RTK precision: perfectly straight rows with zero overlaps. It also plugs directly into ISOBUS-compatible terminals from other brands, a cost-effective upgrade for existing machinery.

Seeding scenarios

• Cereals (wheat, barley): uniform row spacing with consistent accuracy and repeatability
• Oilseeds (winter rapeseed): dense planting over large fields with reduced overlap and misses
• Forage crops (lucerne): repeatable paths that protect regrowth across multiple harvests a year
