f-drill CB
Effective sowing – with flexibility ready for the future
The rigid coulterbar f-drill CB complements the f-drill front hopper in a dissolved seeding combination providing maximum balance and utmost flexibility.
Highlights
Utmost flexibility – for all kind of farming systems Combined application of seeds and fertiliser/companion crop possible Precise and intelligent seed/fertiliser application Reduced soil compactionDescription
The even weight distribution of the modular seeding combination with the rigid coulter bar f-drill CB in the rear of the tractor and the f-drill hopper in front improves safety and manoeuvrability. The coulterbar of the f-drill has been designed to give farmers and contractors utmost flexibility as it adapts to all kind of farming systems. The rigid coulterbar complements the f-drill model range in a dissolved seeding combination and is available in 3.0m, 3.5m, and 4.0m working width. The row distance can be set at 12.5cm or at 15.0cm. Application of seeds, the combined application of seeds and fertiliser as well as of seeds and companion crops is possible. Due to the clear design and the high level of incorporated intelligent technology, the coulterbar offers maximum ease of use and utmost flexibility.
Features
The CX-II disc coulter from Kverneland not only guarantees smoother running but also exact seed placement. The flatter cutting angle of only 5.4° of the steel disc requires less pulling power to reach a constant seeding depth of up to 6cm.
Due to the combination of the steel disc with a diameter of 325mm and the flexible plastic disc, there is no need for independent scrapers, saving the cost for expensive wearing parts. In addition the coulter is completely maintenance-free!
Up to 50kg coulter pressure can be achieved by a pre-loaded spring. Safe operation is ensured when working with high working speeds and high quantities of plant residues on the soil surface. An inter-row coulter spacing of 445mm for maximum clearance and the following press wheel (standard equipment) ensure an optimum seed/soil contact in all conditions. The press wheels can be set in fixed, floating or lifted position in order to be able to adapt quickly to changing weather, soil or working conditions.
The CX-II coulter is also available as light edition without press wheel which reduces the weight and length of the coulterbar. This will allow to operate the seeding combination also with lower lifting capacity of the tractor.
The rigid f-drill CB in 3.0m / 3.5m / 4.0m and the folding f-drill CB F in 4.0m working width can be also fitted with double entry CX-II coulters for additional ways of sowing. With the coulter CX-II double-entry, fertiliser or a second crop is placed together with the seeds in just one working pass. This is especially suitable e.g. for phosphoric fertiliser to support the initial germination and development of the plants in the most efficient way. Due to an extra outlet of the CX-II coulter double entry, various combinations are possible:
- two types of seeds,
- one type of seed and one type of fertiliser or
- one type of seed combined with e.g. slug pellets
- one type of seed.
The flexible and individual depth setting of each CX-II coulter double entry allows different sowing depth even within one working width. This is extremely important when sowing two different products in one pass e.g. rape at a shallow depth and companion crops like beans deeper.
Easy connection with electronics – intelligent, operator-friendly
The ISOBUS e-com software’s “plug and play” compatibility enables the f-drill CB and the front hopper f-drill to be connected to any ISOBUS compatible tractor, for fully functional use by the tractor’s own terminal or alternatively, Kverneland’s IsoMatch Tellus Pro or the IsoMatch Tellus GO+.
