The Miedema CP series are high-precision cup planters engineered for efficient and accurate potato planting. Designed with modular flexibility, they offer professional growers the ability to combine multiple operations—such as planting, fertilising, ridging, and spraying—in a single field pass. Their design emphasizes durability, planting accuracy, and minimal maintenance.
Key Features
- Precision Planting Unit: The heart of the CP series is the reliable planting element featuring a parabolic planting tube, potato-friendly cups, eccentric agitators, and integrated cleaning brushes. This setup ensures excellent singulation and gentle handling of seed potatoes.
- Eagle-Eye Miss Detection: Optical sensors continuously monitor each planting unit and alert the operator if a miss occurs, helping to maintain uniform crop stands.
- Consistent Depth Control: Each row is equipped with V-shaped furrow openers and depth-control discs on a parallelogram system, guaranteeing consistent planting depth and line placement, even in uneven terrain.
- Moving-Floor Bunker System: The bunker features a moving floor to prevent bridging of potatoes, ensuring consistent feeding to the planting units and efficient unloading.
Advantages
- High Planting Accuracy: Singulation and placement precision reduces seed waste and increases yields.
- Multifunctional: Perform multiple field operations at once—saves time and fuel.
- Operator Friendly: Intuitive interface, low-maintenance parts, and high reliability make it suitable for long workdays.
