Whether working on ploughed ground, mulch ground or direct, the weight of the ULTIMA is carried on the pre-press rollers. The large transport wheels are raised during work allowing the weight of the machine (including a full tank of 3000 litres) to transfer to the pre-press wheels and the STS roller.

Sowing on plough ground or mulch ground the reconsolidation allows even germination. In front of the sowing tine the prepressand depth guide roller firms the ground. After sowing the levellers even the soil and the STS rollers reconsolidates. The STS roller is constructed so that a roller ring matches a sowing element. This ensures that the total soil area is not firmed avoiding the danger of capping.

The single acting hydraulic ram on the sowing element gives sowing depth adjustment while at the same time acting as a shock absorber against stones.
