SEEDBED PREPARATION
PROFESSIONAL SOIL PREPARATION
FOR A PERFECT SEEDBED AND MAXIMUM GROWTH
Front wheel packer – larger footprint reduces compaction For a perfect result in all seeding conditions, Kverneland recommends the fully equipped u-drill with front tyre packer in order to distribute the load on a larger tyre surface. As a result the contact pressure and the rolling resistance decreases and less power gets lost in soil compaction. Furthermore, due to the improved tire-ground toothing, the soil can support higher driving forces. Disc harrow or MD disc The disc harrow section consists of two rows of aggressively pitched conical discs. The discs are 5mm thick and hardened for long life. Thanks to their conical shape, the cutting angle remains constant. The high rotation speed ensures an excellent cutting quality over the entire working width. The disc harrow section is available with row spacings of either 12.5 cm or 16.7 cm. The MD disc section consists of two rows of straight waved discs. The MD disc have been designed for vertical penetration through the flutes. The blade keeps turning, penetrating and cutting even in the most challenging conditions. A seedbed is created only in strips of 3 to 5 cm in width, in which the seed is placed by the CD coulter. The MD disc option is only available for machines with 16.7 cm row distance. Offset wheel packer For perfect depth control of the coulters, an optimum seed-to-soil contact and excellent capillary action, the loosened soil is re-compacted by a large tyre packer. The large tyre diameter of 900mm together with the off-set position significantly reduces the tractive power required by the machine and thus ensures a consistently good work result.
