Greater coverage, higher returns

The 100mm spacing achieved by the Thian Seed Drill is a commercial first in New Zealand. This spacing has been achieved using tines made exclusively for Thian Agri Manufacturing Ltd in Europe.

The slim design and the stagger allows for creation of carpet-like pasture while still clearing pasture trash efficiently. The greater coverage allows farms to carry more stock and achieve higher returns.
