ULTISOW HI-LIFT: EASY TO OWN & OPERATE
Proving to be a customer favourite, our Hi-Lift model in the Ultisow range is helping farmers make small adjustments to depth or checking for blockages without ever getting their clothes dirty. No more crawling on hands and knees or reaching over frames this gives you the ability to walk straight through one side of the machine to the other. The main objective was to build a frame that was able to hydraulically lift around 1m higher than the standard bar to allow for easier access to the row units making it a comfortable height for faster, easier and safer maintenance and adjustments.
Our Ultisow range is renowned for it’s strength and heavy frame for effective penetration, the Hi-lift doesn’t stray from this formula. Built with 9mm powder coated thick steel using a three stage process ensuring that the frame lasts a life time. It also comes standard with 3m CTF wheel centres and optional rolling bar with a wide range of row spacings available to provide flexibility when sowing various crops.

SERAFIN ULTISOW S15 HI-LIFT SINGLE DISC SEEDER 15m Features
Easy access to row units
Not only do you have better access for any maintenance you may need to do, you have much better access for making simple adjustments such as seeding depth or press wheel pressure. No more crawling around in the dirt!
This will result in faster repair work, a higher likelihood of operators actually maintaining the machine and happier operators.
Basic operation
Simple single function hydraulic lift through an innovative gear driven valve block ensures that the machine lifts up & down smooth and even.
The operator lowers the machine to the working height and then uses the hydraulic rolling bar to lower or raise the units to the ground, just like any other Ultisow.
Tried & tested design
By keeping the rolling bar concept including valve block and rolling bar height the same, you have the confidence that the new frame design will work like it always has.
Continuing on with the Ultisow fundamentals of being robust, simple and easy to use, the new S15 HI-LIFT is a great match for any broadacre farmer.
Easy to transport
With some clever design, the new S15 Hi-Lift has the same transport width as the standard S15 model. A simple fold over centre frame with a good wheel package makes transport easy.
Wide yet nimble
Even though this is a big, wide machine, having a long drawbar and strong casting front wheels allows tight headland turns so that it remains nimble.
Good wheel package
Featuring 8x 500/60×22.5 flotation tyres the new S15 HI-LIFT frame has plenty of rubber on the ground. They are setup on 3m wheel centres as standard well.
Customer Testimonial
The Hi-Lift part of it is certainly user friendly. The row units stand up to a variety of soil types and they have been very good over the years. Most of all, Serafin's have been very easy to deal with.

Common options for the SM Row Unit
Serafin Ultiforce is a low-maintenance hydraulic down pressure system with it’s own cylinder. It allows for more consistent down pressure, reduced row-unit vibration and increased durability, improving seed placement.
D-Cup Air Diffuser
Not standard but highly recommended are the D-cup plastic air diffusers which are fitted to the row unit to allow for higher rate of air flow to reduce blockages as well as reduce seed bounce.

Serafin Spiked Closing Wheel
Serafin’s own Spiked Closing Wheel replaces the standard smooth closing wheel. It provides some tilth next to the seed slot that assists with closing the seed slot more efficiently in harder conditions.
It also reduces the amount of closing wheel bounce resulting in more even, consistent closing wheel down pressure
Needham Press & Gauge Wheels
New for 2021 we can offer now both the Needham V8 firming wheel and Needham Urethane Gauge wheel options for our SB2019 Disc Opener.
The V8 firming wheel is known for its longevity and ability to flex so that the press wheel continually gives the optimum seed to soil contact.
The Gauge Wheel is also very long life and quality bearing system.
An upgrade option over the plastic D-cup diffusers is the Serafin Stainless steel diffuser,
Working on similar principles as the D-cup but with a longer life and stronger housing.
It also has a rubber cap that fits neatly onto the stainless steel housing, ensuring that it doesn’t vibrate off or have latches that break. And has optional shield as shown
Individual Small Seeds Placement kit
Allowing the operator to sow pasture seed and canola through a separate seeding tube that runs along the press wheel arm and places the seed into the seed slot once the press wheel has gone through.
This separates the main seed / fertiliser from the small seed plus sows this at a very shallow depth, independent to the main seed depth.
The narrow gauge depth wheel hub on the new Serafin SM are now able to offer the BUCO narrow gauge wheel with the open 3 spoke hub.
This means that whether you are chasing the narrow spacing on the unit or just wanting to have a smaller footprint on the ground, you can still benefit from the SM open hub design.
Manutec Single Press Wheel
Replacing both the small BUCO press wheel and the cast closing wheel is the single arm with 15″ Manutec press wheel.
This works very well in soft, sandy conditions where the seed slot closes over itself. It is low maintenance and long wearing.
Manutec Mud Razor Gauge Wheel
A complete replacement of the standard BUCO depth wheel is the Manutec Mud Razoe option.
Fitted with a 4 1/2″ solid rubber wheel with an inbuilt metal scraper ring on the inside, this gauge wheel works well is muddy conditions.
Available on the Serafin SM unit is the Ryan NT (formerly RFM NT) Spring gauge wheel. Featuring improved resistance to mud build up and less weight.
The flex in the steel spring ensures that any mud build up will release, keeping the unit turning in the most sticky conditions.
Other Machine Options
- Available also in 9m & 12m working width
- Available with or without rolling bar
- Can be setup for front or rear tow air carts
