FAQs

What is the outstanding feature of the PeterpoinT™?
The PeterpoinT™ is designed to place seed in a trench with approximately 40 – 50 mm of soil over it, no matter what depth the point is put into the ground. This importantly gives quick even establishment of most crops.

What conditions can the PeterpoinT™ be used in?
It works equally well in both wet soils at 50 mm, or for deep sowing down to 150 mm + when moisture seeking in dry soils.

What row widths are used?
300 – 350 mm works well in most cases. Widths out to 450 mm have been used in some soils when sowing very deep.

What speed can the PeterpoinT™ operate at?
Any conventional planting speed preferably between 8 and 12 km/h.

What about when deep sowing?
Due to the unique design of the PeterpoinT™ you plant at the same speed as normal.

Are there any special requirements such as tyne breakout?
The PeterpoinT™ can be fitted via adaptors to virtually any tyned implement from cultivators to chisel ploughs.

Are presswheels necessary?
They will work without them but are ideally setup with 50 mm presswheels to get optimum results.

Why is the PeterpoinT™ reversible?
So it can be used in a wide range of soils and or conditions to optimum effect.

What condition will the PeterpoinT™ leave the soil surface in?
The soil will be left in furrows that are larger the deeper you sow. These furrows funnel small falls of rain to the plant row as well as protect newly emerged seedlings from excess wind heat and cold.
