Description
The Kverneland Optima is the universal pneumatic precision drill for maize, sunflowers, field beans, unpelleted beet, pelleted beet, dwarf beans, soya beans, peas, and many other types of seed. Within this product group, the Optima TFmaxi is the large capacity trailed model with a working width of 12m. It offers a unique performance with up to 100 hectare in one day – reducing the costs for the tractor and the driver.
The Optima TFmaxi is equipped with a 4000l fertiliser hopper and 16 HD-II rows with one central seed hopper optional with 1000l and seed hoppers volume of 60l each. Despite the large capacity, the pulling force is still low - starting from 240hp.
The Optima TFmaxi combines high performance technology with maximum user friendliness. The machine’s clear and logical layout together with the high level of intelligent technology offer the user maximum ease of use, from set-up and filling, to transport and seeding operation.
Kverneland Optima precision planter – accurate seed placement for every soil condition
The Kverneland Optima precision planter is designed to deliver accurate seed placement, ensuring maximum crop emergence and yield. Its advanced sowing units follow the ground contour perfectly, while the coulter forms a clean furrow for excellent seed-to-soil contact. The result: uniform crop establishment, consistent growth, and plant development.
Universal HD-II sowing row - built for all soil conditions:
The Optima TFmaxi is equipped with the universal HD-II row unit, making it suitable for a wide range for farming systems and soil types.
- Works on light to heavy soils
- Compatible with conventional and mulch seeding
- Provides optimal depth control even in extreme conditions
- Ensures effective ground contour following and precision seed placement
- Supplied with 60L seed hopper
This versatility makes the Kverneland Optima an ideal row crop planter for maize, corn, sunflower, sugar beet and other precision crops.
ISOBUS Technology for Smarter Farming
Modern agriculture demands more than just seed placement, it requires efficiency, cost savings, sustainability and precision farming tools.
The Optima e-drive II with ISOBUS connectivity integrates seamlessly with the Kverneland Tellus terminal. Using GPS and GEOCONTROL, each seeding element is automatically switched on or off at exactly the right moment. This eliminates overlaps and skips, ensuring every seed is placed with maximum accuracy.

Features
For mulch and conventional sowing
- Optimal depth control even under extreme conditions, due to the heavy basic weight of the sowing unit with the possibility to add additional pressure (up to 100kg) onto each individual sowing unit via the spring-loaded system.
- Effective ground contour following, due to the large lateral depth control by open gauge wheels (Ø410mm, width 120mm).
- Precise seed placement by the small coulter which forms a clean furrow. Optional with quick-fit coulter tip to quickly exchange between standard layout for maize and the XHD coulter tip for sugar beet. Light re-compaction and seed covering is done by the intermediate press wheel (as option: heavy stainless steel) and the multi-adjustable V-press wheel – to ensure maximum field emergence.
Seeding heart without seals for HD-II
- The patented seeding heart by Kverneland has reduced maintenance costs to a minimum.
- No friction, no wear, low drive torque, minimum maintenance: The seed disc rotates in the seeding heart together with the vacuum chamber. This seeding drum is connected to the vacuum fan via a hollow shaft.
- This seed heart principal results in no loss of vacuum, and therefore a low vacuum requirement
- Stable design, modular system, low maintenance costs, high degree of wear resistance and optimum depth placement.
- For fertiliser placement Kverneland supplies hoppers for different applications.
- The chain drive for metering can be adjusted from 106 to 390kg per hectare at a distance between rows of 75cm.
- The fertiliser applicator is driven centrally by an easily accessible side mounted gear box.
- Fertilising coulter, standard seeding with narrow coulter design and stable, reliable construction, coil spring protection from sideways forces
- Mulch seeding notched double-disc coulter for blockage-free and precise fertiliser placement by a Ø 350mm notched double-disc Coulter.
GEOCONTROL - Cost saving with immediate payback
Seeding with GPS and GEOCONTROL in combination with an electric driven precision drill is a major step towards precision and cost saving. These machines are all equipped with ISOBUS technology which with the help of the IsoMatch Tellus terminal, can be easily controlled.
Each electric driven seeding element, in combination with GPS and GEOCONTROL, is automatically switched on or off in exactly the right place, ensuring there is no overlap with any row that has already been seeded. This is especially handy in triangular fields, on curved or irregular shaped headlands.
