Kverneland Satio F
Folding solo seed drill with compact design for small and medium tractors
Highlights
Compact & lighweight design - low power requirement Flexible - sowing independently from seedbed preparation Precise seed placement Cost-efficient High sowing speeds - large performanceDescription
The Kverneland solo seed drill Satio F is available in working width of 5.0m and 6.0m. In solo seeding operation, the Kverneland Satio offers extra flexibility to adapt also to extreme weather conditions. Only low power requirement is needed due to a close centre of gravity. Higher sowing speeds and a high performance can be achieved. The seed hopper offers a large capacity of 1,700l. The electric driven ELDOS metering system (1-400kg/ha) in e-com or e-bas version offers maximum comfort. A radar speed sensor records the speed to maintain the relevant distribution rate. The solo seed drill Satio F is in e-com version fully ISOBUS controlled.
The CX-II coulters, with or without press wheels, are clamped to the coulter bar and allow the adaptation to individual farming systems by choosing the right row spacing of 12.5cm or 25cm. The coulter pressure is adjusted mechanically or can be controlled hydraulically from the cab. The sowing depth is centrally adjusted via spacers. Press wheels support the fine adjustment of the sowing depth and increase soil-to-seed contact for fast emergence. Integrated track eradicators are standard. A full range of options like pre-emergence markers, S-tine following harrow, road light kit or LED working lights are available to customize to individual needs.
Features
- The metering device ELDOS accurately measures the required volume of seed by the distinctive rotor and discharges it into the seed injector where is is mixed with the air stream and then conveyed through the diffusor tube and the seed delivery hoses to the coulters.
- The distribution head is mounted in a protected position inside the seed hopper.
- ELDOS is electric driven by e-bas and e-com, the e-com edition is fully ISOBUS compatible, e-bas works as stand alone controlled system.
- GEOCONTROL by GPS signal is possible which avoids double seeding.
- Special sensors ensure functionality from the tractor cab.
- Five standard rotors are delivered: for fine and large seeds or fertiliser.
- The exchange of the rotors is quickly and easily done without any tools.
- Application rates from 1 to 400kg/ha are possible (depending on working speed and width).
- The metering device is always easily accessible.
Calibration
- Very simple calibration test due to the separate seed guidance.
- A remote control allows the driver to operate the calibration process at the metering device.
- No gear has to be adjusted. The driver simply enters the desired values into the terminal, presses one button to start at the metering device and that’s it.
- The calibration is done automatically.
- A calibration flap with an integrated gate prevents any seed from dropping into the hose.
- 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 of 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 Satio F is available as e-bas and e-com model. Both models are equipped with the electric ELDOS metering device. The Satio F e-bas is not ISOBUS compatible and the electronic control is ensured by the Focus 3 terminal. The Satio F e-com model on the other hand is fully ISOBUS controlled and can be steered by the Kverneland IsoMatch Tellus GO+, the IsoMatch Tellus PRO or any other terminal.
Focus 3
Focus 3 is the terminal steering the e-bas system which features hopper low level sensor, various tramline systems, information about hectare, km/h, monitoring of fan speed, pre-emergence marker, seed rate adjustments. Focus 3 is not ISOBUS compatible.
IsoMatch Tellus GO+
The multifunctional one-screen terminal has been developed for fast and simple control of all ISOBUS implements, giving the farmer a ‘customer made’ experience as it suits all needs for plain and efficient handling of farming machinery and tasks. IsoMatch Tellus Go+ is the farmer’s first step into Precision Farming. With the easy to use application, IsoMatch GEOCONTROL, it is possible to boost efficiency and save time and costs. The application includes Manual Guidance, Section Control and Variable Rate.
IsoMatch Tellus PRO
IsoMatch Tellus PRO is the centre for connecting all ISOBUS machines and a platform for running precision farming applications. It offers everything a farmer needs to get the maximum out of his machines and crops, as well as cost savings in fertiliser, chemicals and seeds by using automatic section control and variable rate control. With the unique dual screen functionality it gives the farmer the opportunity to view and control two machines and processes simultaneously.
With this terminal you can work all the way as a PRO. The maximum working range for the task controller IsoMatch GEOCONTROL is increased from 2 km to maximum 10 km from the starting point. Thus even extremely big fields are handled in a full professional way. The new high brightness screen increases operator comfort. Visibility is increased during the day and dimmed to just a glowing display in dark conditions.
- The drill can be ordered with two different row spacings of 12.5cm or 25.0cm according to individual farming systems.
- The CX II coulters are clamped in staggered position over 2 rows by short and longer brackets.
- More clearance means different seed density and micro climate in the crop.
Choice of sowing distance
Sowing distance 12.5cm
- Best distribution for high seed rates
- Rows close quickly
- Reduced weed pressure
- Efficient use of nutrients, water and sun
Sowing distance 25cm
- Optimised micro climate reduces fungal infestation
- Less seeds needed per m² with new type of seeds (hybrid)
- Saving on water resources
- Reduced pulling force requested
- Better clearance in wet conditions
