Abstract
Combined farm machine performing all of the seeding operations in one pass, comprising: a frame with a three-point attachment for the connection to the tractor and a hydraulic pump; several soil rippers; a roller for the macro- and microtillage of soil; a mechanical hopper seeder with rotating devices, from which several tubular seeding members project; several spring harrows and a levelling blade or door, which machine also includes a ploughing roller for the differentiated tillage of the soil, having several annular ribbings projecting in the same number as the seeding members and aligned therewith, the ploughing roller being rotated by motor.

A combined farm machine comprising:
- a main frame (10) having a three-point attachment (11A, 11B) adapted for connection to a tractor (TR);
- a hydraulic pump (30) mounted on main frame (10);
- a plurality of soil rippers (14) supported by said main frame (10);
- a roller (15) for the macro and microtillage of soil, said roller (15) being supported by main frame (10);
- a mechanical hopper seeder (12) supported by said main frame (10) and having a plurality of rotating delivering devices (39);
- a shaft (38) for rotating said delivering devices (39);
- a plurality of tubular seeding members (13) projecting downwardly from said mechanical hopper seeder (12);
- a plurality of spring harrows (16) supported by said main frame (10);
- a leveling blade (18) attached to said main frame (10), said roller (15) and said leveling blade (18) being supported upstream of said tubular seeding members (13);
- a frame (43) pivotally attached to said main frame (10);
- and
- a ploughing roller (20) having a shaft (36) attached thereto, said roller (20) being supported by said frame (43) and located downstream of said tubular seeding members (13) to perform a differential tillage of the just seeded soil that is then worked by said harrows (16) which operate to cover the sown seeds.
