Kverneland mc-drill PRO
Cultivator-mounted mechanical seed drill
A flexible combination
The mc-drill PRO of Kverneland is a mechanical, integrated cultivator-mounted seed drill for direct combination with a robust and reliable Kverneland rotary harrow. The mc-drill PRO ensures the best seeding results after ploughing and conservation tilling.
One of the main advantages for operators is the constant depth control for the coulters, thanks to the direct link between the coulter bar and the roller mounted with a parallelogram linkage system – additional settings due to tine wear on the rotary harrow are not necessary.
This seeder’s special linkage to the Kverneland rotary harrow allows fast disassemble when the power harrow is required for solo use. In addition, the wide range of options provide a solution to meet all requirements in the field.
The Advantages:
- Up to 1.510 l hopper capacity for reduced set-up times and high performance
- Automatic depth control of the coulter bar due to the direct connection to the frame of the packer roller (no re-adjustment needed if the working depth of the power harrow is changed)
- Overload protected track marker arms mounted on the power harrow
- Integrated brake of the land wheel to avoid “overdosing” on head lands
- Easy uncoupling of the seed drill for solo operational due to linkage via saddle triangle

Metering System
- The basis for excellent seeding results is provided by the mechanical metering system which can deliver seed quantities of between 1–400 kg per hectare.
- The specially shaped seed discharge gate safeguards an even flow of both normal and fine seed. The metering wheels can be set to fine seed in next to no time.
- An additional flap allows the operator to switch between calibration, seeding and emptying without having to remove any hoses or discharge hoses beforehand!
- A half width shut off is standard on all machines along with a range of tramlining systems also possible.
- The seed metering system provides quantities of between 1–400 kg/ha. The change from normal to fine seed is easy and quick with the need for any tools. The meters are designed as standard for normal and fine seed and are protected with calibration trays against moisture and dust.
- The continuously variable transmission and the seed quantity adjustment are easily accessible and very easy to operate.
- The calibration tray is fitted with an additional emptying aid.
Electronic Control Mechanical Seed Drills
Electronic Control
- The mechanical seeders can be fitted with the Kverneland tramlining systems FGS or Signus.
- The FGS tramline control system allows the operator to select from a variety of pre-programmed tramline rhythms. The FGS unit also features hopper low level and under voltage warning (optional)
- The Signus combines comprehensive information, simple data input, a multitude of functions and precise control.
Tank Design
Thanks to its full width opening, the tank can be easily filled from manually, “big bags” and with a front loader. Hopper extensions can increase the base capacity to 1.100 litres (3 m). The robust steel hopper cover protects the seed from dirt and rain.
Various Coulters
The mechanical seed drills are equipped with CX-disc coulter.
- The patented CX-disccoulter ensures exact seed placement under both wet and dry conditions
- Due to the combination of convex steel disc and flexible plastic disc, there is no need for independent scrapers saving the costs for expensive wearing parts.
- The convex steel disc forms a clean and clear furrow with light recompaction. The narrow profile allows higher working speed and the convex form of the disc ensures good depth control.
- The flexible plastic disc keeps the furrow open for exact seed placement. It cleans the steel disc and helps prevent sticking and blocking.
- Narrow and wide press wheels are available for special seeding conditions. These press wheels can be fully lifted in case of changing weather conditions.
