The Kverneland Unicorn e-drive II is the mechanical precision drill with the internally filled sowing heart for conventional or mulch sowing, with electrical drive and opto-electronic seed placement monitor.
Highlights
Perfect seed placement Ready for mulch sowing and conventional sowing systems Max. flexibility for best performance in all conditions Precise and defined application by GEOCONTORL / GEOSEED Effective resource managementDescription
The Kverneland Unicorn has been designed for professional precision drilling. An electric driven row unit with mulch equipment is standard. Even under the most difficult conditions the parallelogram mounting of the sowing units guarantee precise depth control.
The Unicorn ensures perfect seed placement in conventional and mulch conditions. With e-drive II each sowing unit is driven electrical individually. The sowing distances are infinitely adjustable on the move and can be switched off individually. The Unicorn is ready for GEOSEED and GEOCONTROL. Overlap seeding at headlands is a matter of the past and a synchronized sowing in line but also across the entire field is possible.
The Kverneland Unicorn 6m parallel hydraulic frame has a close centre of gravity. Low lifting capacity and power requirement is needed. Changing from working to transport position (< 3m) is possible within a very short time.
Highlights
- Infinite adjustment of sowing distances from 12.5 to 25cm, optimising seed populations to soil type within the same field from the tractor cab.
- Multi choice integrated tramlining and pre-emergence marking systems (optional).
- Ability to increase plant population in the rows adjacent to the tramlines.
- Opto-electronic control for seed counting as standard.
- Individual sowing units can be switched off. Ideal, for example, when sowing in the corner of awkward shaped fields.
- Safety through constant control: the electronics permanently monitor all operating functions of each sowing unit constantly displaying the "real time" data on the in cab terminal.
- ISOBUS Intelligence with Unicorn e-drive II
Features
GEOSEED - Precision at high end
GEOSEED is the precise synchronization of seed placement across the full working width of the machine. This ensures that seeds are distributed evenly, achieving an optimal pattern—either parallel or diamond-shaped—across the soil surface. The positive effects of this technology are far-reaching. By enhancing seed distribution, GEOSEED maximizes the efficient use of key resources such as nutrients, water, and sunlight, fostering optimal plant growth. Additionally, this uniform planting pattern helps reduce the risks of wind and water erosion, as the even distribution of plants improves soil structure and coverage, leading to better water retention and minimizing soil degradation.

The rigid end-tow toolbars are available in working widths of 3m, 6m, 9m and 12m. The convenient and time saving parallel hydraulic folding is available in 6 m and 9 m toolbar versions. The transport width of all Unicorn models is a maximum of 3 metres.
The hydraulic, parallel folding mechanism allows UNICORN to be easily folded for transport on public roads. Alternatively, there is a lengthways towing facility available for the rigid 12, 18 and 24 row frames. Support or drive wheels on the mid and outer sections provide optimum ground contour following characteristics.
The sowing units – like the whole machine – are modular in design.
The basic element always remains the same and the equipment can be varied according to individual requirements. For mulch seeding, the front Farmflex wheel is simply replaced with a double cutting disc equipped with side zero pressure tyres. The trailing coulter draws a clean seed furrow for precise seed placement.
The Unicorn sowing elements are equipped with the V-press wheel as standard. The zero pressure rubber tyres do not allow soil to stick and provide excellent operation. The seed is covered with loose soil by adjustable coverer. The amount of covering soil is similar to that of the sowing depth ideal for wet and loamy soils.
Optional finger press wheels are recommended for heavy dry soil and soils susceptible to late frost. The seed is covered with loose soil by the adjustable coverer. The covering soil is lower than the sowing depth. A "micro climate" protects the germinated plant.
UNICORN operates as an internally filled drill, with chamber wheel speeds, which correspond to the normal sowing speed in practice. The adjusted chamber speed of the bearing borne chamber wheel minimises bounce and roll impulses, thus increasing the precision of seed placement. Guaranteed filling of each individual cell: The cell wheel internal filling principle for precise seed placement
Electronic drive for highest precision. Complete control and monitoring of the machine from the tractor cab in accordance with ISOBUS standard.

The cultivation of sugar beet requires special care and the right supply of nutrients. In this respect, the application of micro granule and micro fertiliser whilst seeding plays an important role for early crop development.
micro-drill
Each unit of the micro-drill has been designed to supply three sowing units and offers a hopper capacity of 35 liters. It is electrically driven and ISOBUS controlled. The metering device consists of a wear-resistant plastic housing and exchangeable cell wheels made of stainless steel which ensure precise metering of different micro granules. Application rates from 2kg up to 25kg/ha are possible.
Emission control
The advantage for the environment: the granulate falls freely into the seed furrow without air support, minimising the emission of dust and complying with the current guidelines for emission control for any granulates applied.
Precision Farming
The comfortable, fully ISOBUS, integrated control system allows the adaption of the stop and start points of the seed row. This ensures precise shutting on and off at the end of the field (without overlaps or faults).
Operator safety
The engineers’ focus has been to increase operator safety by easy and safe handling. Therefore, the operator is able to exchange the cell wheels even when the hoppers are full of granule. There is no need to empty them first, reducing the operator’s risk of being in direct contact with the granules.
The Kverneland micro dill has been approved by the Julius Kühn Institute (Institute for Application Techniques in Plant Protection) (Reference G 2196).
The Kverneland micro-drill is available for Monopill e-drive II and Unicorn e-drive II.
