ValoTerra

The ValoTerra represents a new generation of 100% electric single-seed planters.
This solution developed by Monosem ensures that land is used to its full potential while also protecting it.

The ValoTerra's new 100% electric architecture, unique seed metering box and planting accuracy and uniformity guarantee improved emergence and productivity.

the ValoTERRA
metering unit

Several years of research and exchanges with farming professionals have enabled us to design a seed metering unit that is ultra-precise and user-friendly.
From unit adjustment to machine maintenance and metering box calibration, everything has been optimized with the sole aim of saving you time.
The new ValoTerra precision planter offers efficiencies both in the field and when preparing the equipment.

METERING SYSTEM

Benefits of the Ultimate

METERING SYSTEMSETTING NEW STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE FOR PRECISION PLANTERS

Besides offering improved performance, it has been specifically designed to be easy to use, versatile and heavy-duty. Its electric motor and user-friendly design offer a great combination of air-tightness and vacuum, providing utmost planting precision at high speed.

ValoTerra planter parts

With its electric motor in the seed disc shaft, floating insert allowing the seed disc to rotate more easily and new 3-toothed singulator, this new patented metering box sets new standards for precision and efficiency. It boasts an energy-efficient system, and what's more, maize seeds remain attached at speeds of up to 18 kph.

Since every last seed planted offers potential to boost yield, it's now possible to monitor metering quality using the viewing window, ISOBUS terminal or smartphone app. Easily adjustable precision settings ensure highly accurate metering.

It's now possible to switch crops in less than a minute per row:

  • Only the seed disc needs changing
  • Fixed agitator and seed singulator
  • Quick to empty with the integrated chute
  • 2 integrated quarter-turn handles in the cover

The ValoTerra metering box is vacuum-operated, which is the best technology for planting the most diverse possible range of seeds at all speeds. Maize, Sunflower, Rapeseed, Soya Beans, Sugarbeet, etc.

Active Seed Guidance (ASG)

THE NEW SEED GUIDANCE SYSTEM IS USED TO APPLY OUR ZERO-GRAVITY CONCEPT.

Our active guidance system controls all stages of the seeds' journey, from the seed disc to the cellular loading wheel and finally, the conveyor outlet.
The seed ejection speed is proportionate to the tractor's working speed, avoiding any roll back, and spacing in the furrow is kept consistent on both flat and uneven ground.
This means that speed is no longer an issue, since each seed is positioned precisely at speeds of 4 to 18 km/h.

ASG-valoterra

Each seed is supplied to the Monosem-patented cellular loading wheel, which then inserts it into the brush conveyor using a system of guide rods.
The system is designed to ensure that seeds are inserted precisely in the brush before being carried down for placement in the furrow.

The conveyor belt for the brush is grooved to ensure optimal alignment, perfect rotation, and minimal wear: a new Monosem-patented innovation.

The rotating brush conveyor guides seeds to the furrow at a rate proportionate to the tractor's working speed, eliminating any bumps and vibrations.
This is the ideal solution for ensuring accurate and consistent seed placement in the furrow!

Its revolutionary design guarantees accurate application and a high gravity-based drop rate of up to 600kg/ha.

The FertiSmart unit provides optimum performance whatever the terrain, slopes included, even where demanding fertilizers are concerned, thus overcoming the limitations of current technologies.

Optimized fertilization: variable rate fertilizer application and row-by-row section-control

  • Precision application in all conditions, including on sloping land
  • Consistent flow: its fluted metering cylinders can handle any fertilizer regardless of its physical properties
  • The flow rate can be tailored to your requirements: up to 600kg/ha by gravity
  • Promotes organic farming: compatible with granulated organic fertilizers


The FertiSmart distribution unit is designed to be highly effective and versatile. Its 360° gravity-based and pumped outlets contribute to this by ensuring an accurate and even flow.
Moreover, its fluted metering cylinders optimize system performance whatever the physical properties of the fertilizers applied. The distribution units' precision and performance remain unchanged on sloping land.

2 possible configurations:

  • MSM: One motor per row. Allows you to tap the full potential of the FertiSmart solution equipped for section-control and row-by-row control.
  • ISM: One motor for several rows. This allows you to choose the right configuration for your working practices and requirements

  • The motor locks in a quarter turn.
