The RAUCH AERO 32.1 proves that a pneumatic fertiliser spreader can do far more than just distribute fertiliser precisely. Thanks to its innovative technology, it also serves as a cost-effective solution for sowing. One farmer who has successfully put this into practice is Nico Zimmer from Atzendorf in the Magdeburger Börde region.

Zimmer uses the AERO 32.1 not only for fertilising, but also for sowing catch crops such as wild oats and phacelia. “Sowing with the Rauch Aero is an important step in keeping our cultivation costs under control,” explains the farmer, who is keen to experiment. “The machine enables us to work quickly and precisely, even in difficult conditions such as wind or low rainfall.”

With a working width of 30 metres and an area coverage of over 30 hectares per hour, the AERO 32.1 stands out in particular for its efficiency. Special adaptations, such as clips for the metering shafts, allow for precise distribution even with lower seed rates. Nico Zimmer has already successfully demonstrated this on several occasions, most recently with excellent emergence in his catch crop fields.

The RAUCH AERO 32.1 not only reduces sowing costs but also offers farmers like Zimmer the opportunity to test innovative cultivation methods. In the coming season, he plans to use the machine for sowing rapeseed as well – further proof of the spreader’s versatility.
