Mzuri to showcase two latest innovations at
LAMMA 2018
Mzuri, a British producer of specialist agricultural machinery, will be showcasing its two latest innovations at LAMMA
2018. Visitors to Mzuri’s stand G41 will be able to see the new Pro-Til 3T Xzact one pass drill and the self-levelling
Razorback Auto-Level 550 rotary hedgecutter.
tate-of-the-art hedgecutting
technology as standard
Featuring vertical-axis rotary
design and self-levelling Co-
Pilot technology, the Razorback
Auto-Level 550 hedgecutter has
been designed to reduce operator fatigue,
increase productivity and reduce cost. The 1.5-
metre-wide head incorporates a SoftStart triple
rotor and additional mulching blades which are
in continuous contact with vegetation during
the entire 360° cycle, resulting in a much
cleaner and faster cut and chopping action.
Razorback’s Auto-Level Co-Pilot technology
ensures that the main frame of the machine
remains level at all times, irrespective of the
tractor angle in relation to the undulating
ground. Subsequently, the requirement to
make manual adjustments to account for the
unevenness of the terrain is significantly
reduced, making for a much easier, trouble-free
operation.

The high-end specification comes as
standard and includes a 1.5m wide, 5.5m reach
head with hydraulically controlled front hood
and rear roller, the Auto-Level Co-Pilot device
with electronic proportional controls and a fully
independent hydraulic system with an oil
cooler.
Seed placement accuracy and cost savings
from Pro-Til 3T Xzact one pass drill
Pro-Til 3T Xzact, Mzuri’s second innovation
to be presented at the show, combines the
accuracy of seed placement of a conventional
precision seeder with the benefits of a Mzuri
one pass striptill drill which include moisture
retention, improvements to soil condition and
significant fuel and time savings.
The Xzact precision technology is an
optional extra that can be fitted to most Mzuri’s
Pro-Til standard models, thus broadening their
versatility to include crops such as grain and
forage maize, sunflower and soya. The
machine can be just as easily converted back
to a striptill drill.
The Xzact conversion features an electronic
precision seeding unit and coulter assembly to
deliver single seed placement whilst the
constant hydraulic pressure exerted onto each
coulter arm ensures the seeding depth
accuracy.
The system uses adjustable-pressure
vacuum metering to accurately space crops,
regardless of the seed size. Each unit contains
a metering disc and a singulator to prevent
skips or doubles and is driven by an electric
motor which maintains the same seeding
distance at variable speeds.
Unlike with conventional precision seeders,
the mini hoppers on the Pro-Til 3T Xzact drill
are automatically replenished by a bulk fill
mechanism on each metering unit directly from
the Pro-Til’s main tank, thus extending the
drilling time and reducing downtime.
