Abstract
A seeder including a chassis including a substantially horizontal transverse beam on which seeding elements are distributed in a regular manner, the transverse beam including a central section and two lateral sections arranged on either side of the central section in a work position, and being raised substantially above the central section in a transport position, each lateral section being connected to the chassis by a respective arm and being displaceable transversely and vertically with respect to the chassis by a deformable mechanism controlled by an operating jack. In the seeder one deformable mechanism is offset with respect to the other deformable mechanism, taking into account a direction of advance.

A seeder comprising:
- a chassis including a substantially horizontal transverse beam on which seeding elements are distributed at constant intervals,
- the transverse beam including a central section and two lateral sections arranged on either side of the central section in a work position and being raised substantially above the central section in a transport position,
- each lateral section being linked to the chassis by a respective arm and being displaceable transversely and vertically with respect to the chassis by a deformable mechanism controlled by an operating jack,
- wherein one deformable mechanism is offset with respect to the other deformable mechanism, taking into account a direction of advance, and
- wherein each deformable mechanism includes a connecting-rod linked to a lever by an articulation with an axis which is substantially horizontal and parallel to the direction of advance, and at least one articulation extends beyond the median vertical plane of the seeder in the transport position.
