Spaced at 16.70cm, coulter pressure is adjustable from 5.0-150kg and the PowerDisc is claimed to guarantee optimum depth control, even in heavy conditions with a lot of clods. Seed quantity, depth and coulter pressure adjustment of is said to be simple.
Additional equipment options are available, but the standard configuration of the 3.0t heavy Taro 6SL is a RollFlex packer and third generation TurboDisc seed coulters (12.5cm and 15cm row spacings).
