An agricultural machine for dispensing material to be distributed, which agricultural machine comprises at least one metering element having a metering roller for metering the material to be distributed mounted in a metering housing and is rotatably driven. The metering roller has a plurality of metering wheel segments, each metering wheel segment of the metering roller is assigned a separate drive to drive the metering wheel segments independently of each other to ensure exact metering of the material to be distributed within finely subdivided partial widths of the agricultural machine. The drives of the metering wheel segments of the metering roller are arranged in the interior thereof, for example within a tubular hollow body, on which the metering wheel segments are mounted, such that the drives are ideally accommodated with protection from external influences and in a space-saving manner.
An agricultural machine for dispensing material to be distributed, the agricultural machine comprising at least one metering element having a metering roller for metering the material to be distributed, which metering roller is mounted in a metering housing and is rotatably driven, wherein the metering roller of the metering element has a plurality of metering wheel segments which are mounted on a hollow body extending coaxially to the rotational axis thereof and each metering wheel segment of the metering roller is assigned a separate drive in order to drive the metering wheel segments independently of each other, wherein the drives of the metering wheel segments of the metering roller are arranged in the interior of the metering wheel segments, wherein the drives of the metering wheel segments of the metering roller are fixed in the interior of the hollow body bearing the metering wheel segments and in each case have a gearwheel which is assigned to one respective metering wheel segment, the outer surface of the hollow body has a through-opening at least on an axial portion thereof assigned to one respective gearwheel and one respective gearwheel is in engagement with one respective internal toothing of one respective metering wheel segment.
