A Legacy of Innovation: Moore Unidrill’s 50-Year Journey

Founded in 1974 by Sam Moore, Moore Unidrill has been a pioneering force in agricultural machinery for five decades. The company’s history is marked by a series of groundbreaking innovations that have reshaped farming practices and increased efficiency. From its early days, Moore Unidrill has focused on developing direct drills that meet the requirements that farmers are looking for. Simple, reliable and time saving all whilst promoting sustainable agriculture.

There is one part on all Moore Unidrill’s that has stood the test of time. System Moore, the unique Moore Coulter design. This system introduced a new method of seed placement, ensuring optimal soil contact and improving germination rates. The Disc and Moore coulter cuts through, removes and spreads existing root and plant matter. The three-degree angled disc and 40mm coulter creates a harrowing and levelling effect; spreading dung, removing ruts and winter hoof damage. The unique coulter design creates a mini furrow opening in the ground which the seed can thrive in. This mini furrow allows air, water and nutrients to enter the soil thus improving soil health and drainage. The mini furrow created helps to shelter the young seedlings. The serrated disc cultivates the slot creating an ideal seed bed for the seedling to get its roots into the ground as well easy access upwards to light and oxygen. Hence, the System Moore remains a cornerstone of the company’s product line.
