VSD Supernova MG 2026: What’s New in the Generation Presented at EIMA
VSD continues the development of its pneumatic No-Till seeder, the Supernova MG, and for EIMA International 2026 in Bologna the company is presenting an updated configuration featuring a series of technical solutions developed from practical experience gained in real field conditions.
The changes are not merely visual. They affect some of the machine’s most important systems: the turbo disc, hydraulic control of the seeding units, the metering and pneumatic distribution system, furrow closing, machine stability and the hitching system.
In a dedicated video, Claudio Vella presents some of the new features of the machine that VSD will showcase at EIMA International 2026.
New turbo disc with hydraulic cylinder
One of the most significant changes is the new turbo disc system.
In the previous version, pressure was applied through a spring mechanism. On the new Supernova MG, the spring has been replaced by a hydraulic cylinder operating with constant pressure, connected to a specially developed hydraulic line.
VSD has changed not only the pressure system, but also the turbo disc itself. The manufacturer highlights a new concept, a new wave profile and a redesigned support structure.
Its main function remains the same: the turbo disc is the first working element to enter the soil, cutting crop residue and performing narrow micro-tillage only along the seeding line.
The new hydraulic control system allows the pressure against the soil to remain uniform and constant according to the specific field conditions.
Turbo disc pressure is adjusted through a dedicated valve and monitored via a pressure gauge.
There is another important feature. The turbo discs can be completely disengaged from operation. In conditions where additional soil disturbance is not required, for example in certain operations in grass cover, they can remain in a raised position.
Seeding-unit pressure is now controlled from the tractor cab
With the new configuration, VSD takes another important step towards a higher level of automation.
The operating pressure of the main seeding units no longer needs to be adjusted manually on the machine.
The operator can monitor and change the pressure directly from the terminal inside the tractor cab, increasing or reducing it according to soil conditions and the specific requirements during operation.
This makes machine setup easier and allows much faster adaptation when moving between different areas of the field.
Updated distribution and metering system
Significant changes have also been made to the pneumatic system.
The central distribution head is now positioned outside the hopper.
This provides easier access for service and cleaning and allows the seed tubes to be arranged much more neatly. According to VSD, the improved hose routing reduces mechanical stress and the risk of damage during prolonged operation.
The dual electric VSD seed and fertiliser metering unit has also been further developed.
The system is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel and operates without the need for a pressurised or hermetically sealed hopper. In 2026, the drive system was further optimised and the system now includes a new air diffuser, which helps introduce and direct the metered material correctly into the airflow and towards the distribution system.
The new configuration allows the seed and fertiliser application rates to be set and adjusted directly from the terminal in the tractor cab, without the need for manual mechanical adjustment of the metering mechanism when changing the rate.
The result is faster setup, easier operation and a higher level of automation.
New serrated closing wheels
The final stage of the seeding-unit operation has also been updated.
The new Supernova MG uses serrated closing wheels with a pronounced star-shaped profile.
According to Claudio Vella, the purpose of this design is to ensure that the furrow is not closed only by applying pressure at the soil surface.
The new profile acts more effectively on the soil around the seed and helps remove excess air from the seeding line. This reduces air pockets and improves seed-to-soil contact.
In turn, this creates better conditions for moisture absorption, uniform germination and subsequent crop emergence.
New front support and stabilising wheels
The latest machine also features additional front support wheels.
Their role is to provide more stable guidance of the entire seeder, particularly when working on uneven, hilly and steep terrain.
The additional support points reduce unwanted lateral and vertical movement of the frame and contribute to more even load distribution.
They do not replace the individual depth-control system of the seeding units. Instead, they create a more stable working platform, allowing the individual row units to follow the terrain more consistently.
New modular hitching system
VSD is also introducing a new solution for connecting the machine to the tractor.
The new system has been developed in accordance with current European regulatory requirements and uses an interchangeable flange-based design.
Different types of hitch can be installed on this base depending on the market, tractor type and specific customer requirements.
This is another example of VSD’s philosophy of configuring each machine according to the real needs of the individual farm.
Evolution driven by field experience
Other updates include improved paintwork and finishing details, revised graphics and customised rear light units featuring a design inspired by the letter “V” in the VSD logo.
More importantly, however, the 2026 update of the Supernova MG focuses on the systems that directly affect machine performance in the field.
The hydraulic turbo disc, electronic pressure control, optimised metering system, updated pneumatic distribution, new closing wheels and additional stabilisation reflect the direction in which VSD continues to develop its No-Till technology.
Colombo Agro will also be present together with the VSD team as the manufacturer’s official partner for Bulgaria.
