Overview of the P-BOX-STI by Einböck: when seeding becomes part of cultivation
In modern agriculture, it is no longer enough to simply cultivate the soil well or seed accurately. The key objective is to do both in as few passes as possible. This principle defines today’s machinery concepts, and the P-BOX-STI from Einböck is a clear example of that approach.
In essence, this is not a traditional seeder. The P-BOX-STI is a seeding module that is mounted on another implement, adding an additional function. You operate a cultivator or a weeder - and at the same time, you sow a cover crop. No second pass, no additional machine.
How it works in practice
The concept is simple but highly practical. The P-BOX-STI is integrated into an implement that already performs soil cultivation. This can be a tine weeder, an inter-row cultivator, or a field cultivator - exactly the types specified by the manufacturer.
As the implement moves, the system meters the seed and delivers it to the working area using an air flow. As a result, seeding is performed simultaneously with soil cultivation, saving time and reducing unnecessary soil compaction.
This is particularly relevant for cover crops, where perfect seeding depth is often less critical than speed and even distribution.
ISOBUS without unnecessary complexity
The key difference of the P-BOX-STI version is ISOBUS control. What matters here is not just the presence of the standard, but how it is implemented.
The operator works via the standard in-cab terminal. There is no separate control unit and no additional electronics that need to be installed or configured. The system uses tractor data - speed and hitch position - to operate correctly.
In practice, this means fewer settings, fewer potential errors, and a faster start in the field.
Electric drive instead of mechanics
Another detail that reflects modern engineering logic is the E-POWER system. In the P-BOX-STI, the fan is powered by an electric motor and supplied via ISOBUS.
It may seem like a small detail, but in reality, it eliminates the need for PTO drive, reduces mechanical complexity, and simplifies implement setup. For farms, this translates into easier operation - especially during busy seasons.
Where it delivers real value
The P-BOX-STI is not designed to replace a conventional seeder. Its role is to enhance existing operations.
It provides the greatest benefit in situations where:
- cover crops are actively used;
- reducing the number of field passes is important;
- a fleet of cultivators or weeders is already in use.
In such conditions, it effectively adds a seeding function to equipment that is already working in the field.
Seeder spare parts from BAS-Agro
Reliable machinery performance always depends on quality components. BAS-Agro (Cherkasy, Ukraine) offers spare parts for seeders of various brands:

The company supplies:
- seeding elements and coulters;
- press rollers and assemblies;
- metering system components.
In addition, BAS-Agro provides manufacturing and refurbishment services based on drawings or samples, helping extend the service life of components and reduce maintenance costs.
The P-BOX-STI from Einböck is not just another seeder - it represents a different approach to field operations.
Fewer passes, fewer unnecessary systems, and deeper integration with the tractor. This is exactly the direction modern agriculture is moving toward.
