If you’re looking for seeding rigs in or near Melbourne, Seville Tractors delivers personalised advice, local support, genuine parts, and the best machines for the job.

Why Choose Aitchison & Maschio Gaspardo Seeding Machines?

• World-class engineering & proven performance
  Both brands have decades of R&D and field experience. Maschio Gaspardo’s “Gigante Pressure Seeder” is built for rugged conditions and consistent results under Australian soil and climate. Aitchison seeding machines are modular and spec-customisable, allowing farmers to tailor features according to local soil, crop type, residue levels etc.
• Precision & flexibility
  Features like pneumatic seed delivery, precision seed drills, seed plate/singulator options, and good seed & fertiliser settings allow more accurate seed placement, improved emergence, and reduced wastage. Maschio Gaspardo’s SP range of precision seed drills is a good example.
• Optimised for Australian & Victorian field conditions
  Rugged build, ability to handle stubble, variable soils, and adjustable depth/pressure settings so you can use them in dry, wet, high residue, or mixed cropping zones. The Gigante Pressure Seeder is designed to handle these tough conditions.
• Dealer support & parts availability
  Distributed in Australia via PFG Australia. Seville Tractors, being part of that network, ensures that genuine parts, service, warranty, and technical backup are accessible locally in Victoria.
• Cost savings and efficiency
  High throughput, fewer passes, accurate seed/fertiliser application → less waste, lower fuel/time costs. The modular spec-system in Aitchison allows you to choose just what you need.

Key Features & Technical Highlights

Here are standout technical features for Aitchison and Maschio Gaspardo seeding machines, especially relevant for Victorian farms:

Feature	Benefit for Victorian Farmers
Pneumatic seed delivery (pressure seeder)	Better seed metering, even in irregular seed sizes; helps with consistent emergence over large paddocks. (Maschio Gaspardo Gigante Pressure Seeder)
Modular drill/tine/disc/air-seed combinations	Lets you configure seeder to match soil type, crop rotation, residue levels (disc or tine, air or conventional). Aitchison’s modular build allows this.
Good down-pressure / depth control	Ensures seed is placed at consistent depth even in variable soil firmness or residue, improving germination and yield. Maschio Gaspardo’s Direct Seed Drill range has down-pressure up to ~260 kg; SP unit has independent furrow openers / closers.
High speed seeding units	Ability to sow at higher forward speeds while maintaining accuracy means you can cover more area in less time. Maschio Gaspardo’s CHRONO range is one such system.
Trash / residue handling	Disc coulters, front disc kits, tine options help cut through stubble; rear closing wheels or rollers help seal the furrow; useful after harvest with high residue loads.
Seed singulator / double seed protection	Minimising seed doubles or misses improves seed usage efficiency, especially for higher cost seed species. Maschio Gaspardo’s Magica MTR Plus has adjustable seed singulation.
Solid parts & service network	Less downtime, access to spares, support with calibration, repairs, via PFG and local dealers in Victoria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which seeder is best if I have a lot of crop stubble and want to do minimal soil disturbance?
Look at models with disc coulters (to cut residue), pneumatic seed delivery (to place seed accurately), good down-pressure and closing wheels or rollers. Aitchison AirPro and some Maschio Gaspardo Direct Seed / SP models are good fits.

How wide should my seeder be?
That depends on your tractor horsepower, how much ground you need to cover, road transport width limitations, and your field layout. For larger broadacre farms, 4-6m widths like Gigante do well; for smaller or more irregular shaped blocks, something narrower for better manoeuvrability might be preferable.

What seed placement / accuracy should I expect?
With the right machine, good soil prep, matching the seed plate or seed meter, you can get very accurate seed depth, singulation, and spacing. This matters most for higher value crops or when seed cost is large. Maschio Gaspardo’s SP & Magica units highlight tight singulation and adjustable meters.

Is support & spare parts easy to get in Victoria?
Yes. Aitchison & Maschio Gaspardo are distributed by PFG Australia, and Seville Tractors as part of the dealer network, can provide parts, support, servicing and warranty locally.
