A multi purpose hopper

The TF 1512 hopper can be hitched to mechanical seed drills, precision seed drills and tillage tools. It is the versatile seeding solution: one unique hopper for seeding, fertilisation, and planting cover crops! Technical features and ISOBUS compatibility make the TF 1512 hopper very easy to use.

A wide range of applications

The TF 1512 hopper can be hitched to mechanical seed drills, precision seed drills and tillage tools so you can plant crops, cover crops and apply fertiliser.
A front packer with 4 wheels is also available for soil levelling between the wheels of the tractor, or a carrying frame to prevent compaction. In both cases extra balance weights can be added for more stability.

An easy-to-use, easy-to-adjust hopper

Calibration button easily accessible to start the flow test sequence without having to get into the cab.

Even easier to use!

The calibration button is next to the metering unit to start the flow test function without having to get into the tractor cab.
The TF 1512 hopper is available as an ISOBUS machine: control the machine with an ISOBUS CCI terminal or the tractor's ISOBUS terminal. Alternatively, it can be controlled with the QUANTRON S-2 terminal for total and precise seeding management.

Better balance facilitates manoeuvring.

The TF 1512 front hopper provides excellent balance between the tractor and the machine. Driving is easier with improved balance, and a lighter load on the rear axle facilitates manoeuvring and road travel. Soil compaction is also reduced with better load balance.
