SKY Agriculture Sets a New Standard with the Multi-Product Front Hopper "Progress TF"
SKY Agriculture proudly unveils a major advancement in seeding technology with the launch of its new front hopper, the "Progress TF." Available with 2, 3, or 4 hoppers
The "Progress TF" is the first front hopper on the market capable of managing up to four distinct hoppers, all controlled through a single ISOBUS interface. Farmers can therefore adjust four different dosages and seed at two distinct depths, offering the flexibility needed to meet even the most advanced farming practices.
Thanks to a pressurized pneumatic circuit, the "Progress TF" achieves record flow rates of 60 kg/min while maintaining optimal user comfort.
Unlike other models, the hoppers themselves are not pressurized, offering numerous practical advantages:
• Management of additional hoppers: additional hoppers can be added without complexity.
• Large hopper openings make filling and maintenance easier.
• Inspection during use: the inside of the hoppers can be checked without interrupting the blower.
• Simplified sealing: no need to ensure perfect sealing of the hopper.
As an option, the "Progress TF" can be equipped with an innovative front packer, positioned in front of the hopper to facilitate driving.
Safety and user comfort were top priorities in the design of the new "Progress TF" front hopper. On the road, this hopper stands out with features designed to give farmers peace of mind. Equipped with two side cameras, it offers optimal visibility at intersections, reducing the risk of accidents during transport. For those who need to work late at night or in low-light conditions, the "Progress TF" also features numerous work lights, allowing safe operation in any conditions.
With its exceptional performance of 60 kg/min, the PROGRESS TF is perfectly suited for high- output requirements, particularly for intensive localized fertilization operations. It proves especially effective in contexts such as potato planting, organic farming, vegetable cultivation, or corn seeding.
with the new CCI console paired with a guidance system, automatic tramlining is possible without having to sow in a back-and-forth pattern, optimizing both comfort and efficiency.
The new "Progress TF" is compatible not only with the entire range of SKY Agriculture seed drills but also with the Methys cultivator, providing maximum versatility for various farming operations. Thanks to a specialized high-output distribution head, the "Progress TF" can also be used with a single-seed drill or a hoe, further expanding its range of applications.
With the "Progress TF," SKY Agriculture not only meets the current needs of farmers but also anticipates future challenges by offering a solution that is both innovative and practical, perfectly aligned with field requirements.
