Drive and Monitoring Systems that put you in control

Precision planting is about more than placing a seed in the ground. It is about control, consistency, and confidence across every hectare.

At Stanhay, that control comes from the drive and monitoring systems behind the machine. Whether you need advanced ISOBUS integration or a simple standalone setup, there is a solution designed to suit the way you work.

Here is a closer look at the options available across the range.

ISOBUS Electric Drive: precision on every row

Where flexibility and precision are the priority, the ISOBUS electric drive system comes into its own.

Using a Topcon ISOBUS control system, each row is powered by its own electric motor. This enables individual row section control, allowing operators to switch rows on and off as needed to reduce overlap.

Variable rate capability allows seed rates to be adjusted on the move, helping match planting density to field conditions. Typically available from 4 to 12 rows, this system is ideal for growers looking to maximise accuracy, particularly in high-value crops.

It is a modern solution that puts control firmly in the operator’s hands.

ISOBUS Hydraulic Drive: powerful, centralised control

For growers who want a hydraulic based system with full ISOBUS integration, the ISOBUS hydraulic drive offers a powerful and efficient solution.

Built around a Dickey John ISOBUS control system, this setup uses a compact through shaft hydraulic motor to drive up to 20 rows from a single unit. This centralised approach keeps the system efficient while maintaining consistent performance across the full working width.

Automatic pressure relief stall protection adds an extra layer of reliability, helping to protect the system in demanding conditions.

This option is well suited to larger machines where individual row control is not required, and where high-output performance and durability are key.

Jackal Hydraulic Drive: straightforward and dependable

For those who prefer a simpler setup without full ISOBUS integration, the Jackal hydraulic drive provides a practical and reliable alternative.

This standalone hydraulic system features its own controller with GPS capability, offering accurate control without the need for more complex electronics. Like the ISOBUS hydraulic option, it uses a compact through shaft motor capable of driving up to 20 rows from a single unit.

Automatic pressure relief stall protection is included as standard, helping to safeguard the system during operation.

The result is a straightforward, dependable solution that still delivers the performance expected from a Stanhay drill.

DiscEye Camera Monitoring System: see performance as it happens

Knowing your drill is performing correctly is just as important as controlling it.

The DiscEye camera monitoring system gives operators a live view of the seed disc directly from the tractor cab. This allows you to visually check seed flow and confirm that everything is running as it should, without stopping work.

Each monitor can display up to four live camera feeds, making it easy to keep an eye on multiple rows at once.

It is a simple idea, but one that delivers real peace of mind during drilling.

The right system for the way you work

Every farm is different, and every grower has their own way of working. That is why Stanhay offers a wide range of drive and monitoring systems, from simple mechanical drives up to fully integrated ISOBUS solutions.

Whether your priority is precision, simplicity, or visibility in the field, there is a setup designed to support you.

Because at the end of the day, the goal is the same. To give you complete confidence that every row is performing exactly as it should.
