The Maestro SX L is based on the well-proven machine concept of the Maestro SV.

Number of rows 12 - 54
Row spacing 20 - 30 in.
Seed capacity 82 - 140 bu.
Fertilizer capacity 760 - 1000 gal

The seed supply for the 24 rows is carried out centrally from the large seed hopper with a capacity of 140 bu. There is a large 1,000 gal hopper on the seed wagon for liquid fertilizer application, and with the 500 gal optional saddle tanks the total liquid fertilizer capacity is 1,500 gal. The seed supply for the 16 rows is carried out centrally with a capacity of 83 bu. There is also a large 772 gal hopper on the seed wagon for liquid fertilizer application. With the one-level centrifugal pump with a flow rate of up to 92 gal/min between 2 and 10.5 gal/acre of liquid fertilizer can be applied at an operational speed of up to 10 mph. The fertilizer can either be applied into the furrow with the seeds shortly in front of the seed tube or the fertilizer is placed directly behind the seed tube into the still open furrow.

For an optimum contact to the young developing plant, starter liquid fertilizer is applied into the seed furrow directly at the seed. As an option liquid fertilizer can also be applied behind the catching roller into the seed furrow. This might be required in wet or sticky conditions to guarantee that the seed is embedded optimally by the catching roller.
