4 Row Corn and Sorghum Planting Machine 2BYSF-4

The 2BYSF-4 is a tractor-mounted pneumatic planter designed to accurately plant multiple seed types (corn/maize, soybean, bean, cotton, sorghum, onion, sugar beet, etc.) in four rows. It supports zero-till planting and can apply fertilizer simultaneously.

It can plant a wide range of seeds including corn/maize, soybean, common beans, cotton, sorghum, onion, sugar beet and similar-sized seeds. Changing the seeding plate (seed disc) allows the machine to meter different seed shapes and sizes.

For the 4-row model the row spacing is adjustable in the range 428–570 mm. Plant spacing is selectable from standard options: 140 mm, 173 mm, 226 mm or 280 mm (depending on seed plate and gearbox settings).

Ditching (seed) depth and fertilization depth are both adjustable and typically set in the 60–80 mm range. Exact depth is set mechanically on the machine to match seed size and required coverage.

Yes — the design provides simultaneous fertilizer application with selectable fertilization depth (typically 60–80 mm). Confirm whether your specific unit includes the fertilizer hopper and metering kit or if it is an optional accessory.

Yes. The product description lists it as a zero-till corn seeder. For best results on no‑till residues, ensure row openers/coulters are appropriate for your field conditions and verify configuration with your supplier.

Typical steps: stop the tractor and shut off the pneumatic system, lock and secure the planter, remove the seed-meter cover, unbolt or release the current seed plate, install the correct plate for your seed, resecure the plate and cover, then run calibration checks before planting. Always follow the machine's manual for the exact procedure and safety precautions.

Calibration generally involves setting the seed plate and gearbox for the desired plant spacing, adjusting pneumatic pressure (if applicable), performing a static seed count (catch and count seeds per a set number of plate revolutions), and making fine adjustments until the seed-drop rate matches desired population. Do a field test pass at working speed and re-check spacing and singulation before full operation.

Common causes: wrong seed plate for the seed size, dirty/clogged metering or seed tubes, incorrect pneumatic pressure or leaks, worn plates or seals, incorrect ground-drive or gearbox settings, and debris blocking seed outlets. Troubleshooting steps: inspect and clean seed metering components, verify correct seed plate, check and fix air leaks, replace worn parts, and recalibrate the meter.

The planter is tractor-mounted and attaches to the tractor's hitch. Exact hitch category and recommended horsepower depend on machine configuration and field conditions. Confirm hitch category, PTO/drive interface (if any), and minimum recommended tractor horsepower with your supplier or in the equipment manual before purchase.

Regular maintenance includes: cleaning seed meters, tubes and seed boxes after use; inspecting and replacing worn seed plates, seals and bearings; lubricating moving parts as specified in the manual; checking and tightening fasteners; inspecting pneumatic hoses for leaks; and calibrating the meter periodically. Store the machine dry and protected when not in use.

Spare parts such as seed plates, discs, coulters, bearings and seals are commonly available from the manufacturer or dealer. Contact the supplier or your local dealer with the model number (2BYSF-4) and part identifiers to order correct replacement parts.

General safety: turn off tractor engine and set brakes before servicing; depressurize any pneumatic system; keep hands clear of moving parts; use lockout/tagout procedures; wear appropriate PPE; follow the operator's manual for safe hitching, transport, and field operation; and be mindful of bystanders during operation.
