Dutch manufacturer Zocon has introduced its latest innovation in seeding boom technology, drawing attention from last year’s AgriTechnica event in Hannover.
The booms are available in three working widths: 3, 8 and 12 m, corresponding to the ZB300, ZB800 and ZB1200 models. Designed for versatility, these units can be folded either mechanically or hydraulically.
“This makes them ideal for seeding between other crops or for use in combination setups, such as pairing a seeding boom at the front of a tractor with a disc harrow or cultivator at the rear,” says Martin van der Goot, Sales Manager for Export at Zocon BV in Joure, Netherlands.
Built on a tough, fully galvanized modular frame, the seeding booms are compatible with both Cat. I and Cat. II 3-pt. linkages for front and rear mounting. Integrated folding support legs provide stability during setup, and lighting along with warning plates are included for safety. Each boom is available in either a mechanically or hydraulically folding version.
“Each model is compatible with all types of Zocon seeders,” van der Goot says. “For those opting for a seeder, variably adjustable dispersion plates ensure precise distribution.”
Additional options include stairs with a platform, a 7-pin signal cable for monitoring driving speed and lifting position, and the ability to upgrade to a stainless steel version or a hydro blower instead of electric on certain models. Zocon also offers a touch-screen TOPCON controller, available only when ordered directly with the machine.
The three models differ in weight and working width, with the ZB300 weighing 240 kg and spanning 300 cm, the ZB800 at 300 kg and 800 cm, and the ZB1200 weighing 350 kg with a 1,200 cm working width.
Van der Goot recommends contacting the nearest Zocon dealer for pricing and availability information.
