NEW RELEASE! The Duncan Enviro folding ATD is the ultimate next generation, 125mm spaced triple disc seed drill.
Featuring hydraulically controlled opening turbo tilth discs, followed by large diameter, narrow “V” spaced double disc sets for unbeatable ground penetration. The hydraulically adjusted parallelogram disc mounting assemblies give you independent ground contour following at every row, with a massive 400mm of vertical travel.
Customise your drill by adding from our range of bin cameras, cranes, ISOBUS and extra hoppers for small seeds and pesticides.

Key Features
- Duncan touchscreen electric drive system. Integrates with WIFI to the Duncan Calibration App
- Optional ISOBUS system upgrade for integration to the tractor terminal
- Stainless steel Amazone metering units with exchangeable cartridges to sow a wide variety of small to large seeds and fertilisers. Very accurate and easy to calibrate
- Large 406mm diameter turbo tilth opening discs are set on hydraulically adjusted rotating beams for variable depth control, cutting slots into the toughest ground conditions and heavy cover crops or trash
- Easy access platform for the operator to reach and calibrate the metering systems
- Hydraulic downforce on folding wings with constant oil flow from the tractor
- Outer land wheels are standard, assisting with depth control across the full machine width and can be easily folded away for sowing against fence lines
- 2 point hitch tow coupling and compact overall length for great manoeuvrability
- Large 400mm plain discs mounted in a ‘V’ set, penetrate and widen the slots for accurate seed and fertiliser placement
- Triple sealed disc bearings and wide ACM TRIBOTEX™ L7G 'Tube Graphite Filled' pivot bushes for extra-long life and reduced operating costs
- Depth control press wheels are adjusted hydraulically from the cab, accurately controlling the sowing height and closing the slot, capturing moisture held in the soil for best germination results
- Bin level sensors are standard in each hopper
- Large split hoppers. 1500 litres in the front hopper and 1500 litres in the rear hopper. Twin lids on each for easy loading with bulk bags or small bags
- Oil cooler and heat exchanger to warm and dry the seed delivery air
- 620/50R22.5 wide flotation transport wheels. The wheels can be lifted fully clear or left in hydraulic float for worked ground
- Hydraulic drum brakes on the transport axle
The heavy duty 2 point hitch gives a more compact design and improved manoeuvrability
Press wheels are solid reinforced rubber tyres on aluminium hubs. They are controlled hydraulically from the tractor seat to set the drilling depth and close the slot, creating a humid atmosphere and good seed to soil contact for excellent germination results
Large 620/50R22.5 flotation tyres carry the drill in transport, and can partially support the drill in loose arable ground with minimal soil disturbance and compaction. Mudguards, tail lights and visibility panels are standard for road transport.
Stainless steel metering units have large diameter interchangeable seed and fertiliser metering wheel cartridges, to control sowing rates of high volumes of fertiliser through to very low rates of small seeds, and can handle all seeds types. The high torque DC electric motor and gearbox drives provide accurate and variable rate control.
The twin hoppers carry 1500 litres each for high work rates. Each hopper has a dual lid for filling from large and small bags or augers. The wide access platform between the hoppers makes it safe and easy to manually fill the bins and check inside them.
Large diameter 'Turbo Tilth' disc openers cut through trash and hard ground, preparing a seed bed for excellent germination results. Depth is controlled hydraulically from the tractor seat, allowing the discs to be lifted clear of the ground if needed. Constant downforce pressure comes from rubber torsion mounts.
Technology
Air seed distribution
Our air distribution system has a high-speed hydraulically powered fan, blowing air through a venturi system and distributor heads out to the planting double disc set at each run.
Seed and fertiliser is metered out of the storage hoppers and drops into the passing airstream.
The high speed fan has an oil cooling radiator mounted to the suction inlet to warm and dry the air, minimising blockages in humid conditions.
The metering heads distribute the seed and fertiliser evenly to each run, and can be fitted with optional blockage monitoring kits, either on each run or each distribution head.
Triple disc technology
The power and planting precision of the ATD drill is achieved with our smart design of a leading turbo tilth disc to cut through trash and hard ground, followed by a 'V' shaped double disc set for precise placement of seed and fertiliser.
Key features include our revolutionary new contour following design with 400mm of vertical travel, and simple accurate depth control of the opening discs and planting double discs all made hydraulically from the tractor cab.
The front disc openers can be raised and not used if the conditions don't require them, or forced down more in hard ground or heavy trash to provide a worked seed bed for planting.
Our 'V' double disc planting coulters have triple sealed bearings which will provide maintenance free drilling for thousands of hectares.
Press wheels control the sowing depth, and they are all mounted on common gang sets, so there's no need to adjust every press wheel individually.
Rubber torsion mounts provide the downforce on each opening disc and double disc planting set. They have a low wear rate and give a continuous downforce pressure. They are simple and cost effective to maintain.
Wide ACM TRIBOTEX™ L7G 'Tube Graphite Filled' pivot bushes on the contour following linkages provide an extra-long life for reduced operating costs.
Duncan touch screen electric drive
Our ATD drills have high torque electric drives and a touchscreen electronic rate control. This advanced system is simple to use and gives the user instant feedback about the operating state of the drill.
Packed with features, including:
* Precision and flexibility to vary planting rates electronically
* Fingertip calibration adjustments
* Includes touch-screen control for turning planting on and off
* Checks drilling rates and areas planted in real time
* Connects wirelessly to the Duncan calibration app
* High torque electric motor drives and reduction gearboxes
* Visual and audible warnings of drilling rates and bin levels
* Coverage mapping, record keeping and proof of planting
* Transfer job data between the field and the office using a USB port
Easily upgraded to ISOBUS with the addition of an optional ISOPOD to the standard control system.
Calibration App
Use the Duncan Seed Drill app on your phone for easy and accurate job configuration and calibration of the Duncan ATD, and take your drilling operations to the next level of productivity.
The Duncan seed drill app contains step-by-step user guides for making calibration and mechanical adjustments to your drill. Great for any new operator or if you're just a bit rusty yourself!
Connect wirelessly to the Duncan E-Drive to set up the sowing rates and run calibrations while you are right beside the drill. No more trips back and forth between the tractor and the drill, making the job easier and quicker.
Calibrate multiple machines with the app, and get every operator set up with it too so they can do calibrations from their own phone.
