In several previous posts, we have already talked about the points and shares (wear parts in general) that use Tungsten Carbide and have delivered outstanding results in terms of durability. On more than one occasion, we have even explained how these wear parts are manufactured and how Tungsten Carbide plates are brazing to the critical wear areas. This seeding season, we have expanded the use of this material to the shares on our seed drill, and we would like to share our experience with you.
Our friends at Bellota sent us some parts (15023 CP C1 DURATOP) to test on our seed drill, allowing us to compare them with standard shares. At the end of the seeding season, we will assess the wear on both types, but based on our experience, these parts will be practically everlasting for us.
One of the key features we highlight in these seeder shares is their thickness, which is usually much thinner on standard models (in fact, this one weighs over 1 kg), as you can see in the image showing its technical specifications. In addition, the Tungsten Carbide plate is located in the most critical wear area, making it a very well-designed and well-manufactured wear part.
As you can see in the photos, they also sent us some points for our Ovlac cultivator. What makes them special, besides the use of Tungsten Carbide? The angle of attack to the soil is different… but we’ll talk about that in a future post.
