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 S12 HI-LIFT SINGLE DISC SEEDER 12m Features
Better 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!Â
This will result in faster repair work, a higher likelihood of operators actually maintaining the machine and happier operators.
Simple operation
Simple single function hydraulic lift through an innovative gear driven valve block ensures that the machine lifts up & down smooth and even.Â
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.
Proven 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 HI LIFT is a great match for any broadacre farmer.
Narrow transport width
Although not as narrow as the original Ultisow S12 frame, the new HI LIFT model still comes in at a respectable 4.8m transport width which is still a single escort.Â
This is achieved by keeping the hydraulic rolling bar, allowing the row units to be pulled back in towards the centre of the machine instead of being left in a lowered position.Â
Â
Designed for flexiblity
For those of you looking for narrower row spacings whilst keeping excellent trash flow, we have designed the new Hi Lift frame with the ability to have 2 or 3 ranks of row units.
This ability was achieved by ensuring that the bridge frame design was structurally strong enough to take the extra weight and added stresses of this longer centre section.
3m CTF wheel package
Featuring 8x 500/60×22.5 flotation tyres the new HI-LIFT frame has plenty of rubber on the ground. They are setup on 3m wheel centres as standard so the S12 HI-LIFT is CTF ready!
Having strong casting front wheels and fixed rear wheels allows the operator to turn tightly at the headlands as well, ensuring that even though this is a big machine it remains nimble.
Customer Testimonials
We had a 2012 model 9 metre Serafin Ultisow, and we've now updated into a 12 metre Hi-Lift Ultisow. Serviceability with the Hi-Lift is definitely a major feature over the previous one. Seed placement is terrific... Serafin Machinery have been great to deal with.
Paul Buerckner, Ariah Park NSW
We have been very impressed with the seed placement, the robustness of the machine, and just how easy the Hi-Lift frame makes adjusting & servicing the units.
Paul Brook, Goroke VIC
I have been super impressed with our new Serafin Ultisow Hi-Lift. The frame is really well built and makes maintenance a breeze. I couldn't imagine not having the Hi-Lift now.
