INTELLIGENT FARMING SOLUTIONS
Choose the best farming solution for you and your land. Combine the highest possible yields with sustainability. This will start with the correct tillage. The choices you make depend on various factors and should match your specific circumstances, like soil structure, crop rotation, residue management, economic and ecological viabilities.
The choice is yours!
You must consider environmental and legal issues. From conventional methods to conservation tillage: the balance of operations at the right time has to be found to achieve high yields with the best soil condition (air, moisture, biological activity, etc.) with a minimum amount of energy, time and investment. For this, Kverneland offers a full range of intelligent farming solutions.
CONVENTIONAL TILLAGE
CONSERVATION TILLAGE
Conventional Tillage • Intensive method of cultivation
Mulch Tillage • Reduced intensity in terms of depth and frequency • More than 30% of residues are left on soil surface • Extended repose period of the soil • Cultivator and/or discs incorporate the crop residues within the top 10cm of soil for stable bearing soil • Full-width tillage - seedbed preparation and seeding in one pass • Protection against soil erosion; reduce soil loss by run-off and improve water storage capacity. • Improvement of soil moisture retention
Strip Tillage • Zonal strip loosening before or during seeding of up to 1/3 of the row width (Loibl, 2006). Up to 70% of the soil surface remains untouched • Strip-till combines the soil drying and warming benefits of conventional tillage with the soil-protecting advantages of no-till by disturbing only the area of the soil where the seeds are placed • Exact fertilising deposit • Soil protection against erosion and drought
Vertical Tillage / No-Till • Extensive method • Working soil vertically avoids additional horizontal layers or density changes • Increasing water infiltration, root development and nutrient take-up • Plants’ roots dictate the overall health of the plant, as they deliver nutrients and water throughout the season, contributing to a higher yield • A strong set of roots make plants more
• Complete soil inversion e.g. by a plough • Less than 15-30% crop residues left on soil surface • Seedbed preparation done by an active tool or special seedbed harrow • High phytosanitary effect by reduced pressure of weed and fungi diseases - fewer herbicides and fungicides needed • Better dry-off and faster increase of soil temperature for better nutrients absorption
resistant to wind and drought. • Lower energy input required

EFFECTIVE SOWING
WITH FLEXIBILITY READY FOR THE FUTURE
Flexibility You want a machine that is flexible in use: ready to be combined with different implements, ready for multi-crop application, ready for operation in different working widths, ready for all kinds of different farming systems, ready for a wide range of seeds (from fine to large) and fertilisers, ready for the combined application of fertiliser and seeds, ready for the combined application of seeds and companion crops and ready for future challenges. Intelligent You want an implement that is very precise in application, easy to calibrate, steer and monitor. You want a machine that is ready for farming 4.0. You can rely on the Kverneland ISOBUS systems – and concentrate on your business.
Sustainability Soil is your most valuable asset. A good soil structure is key for optimum plant development. An even seedbed will ensure consistent field emergence. Therefore, good weight balance, reduced passes and the right timing are key to avoid any soil compaction and wheeling. In addition, multi- cropping is supporting biodiversity and protecting the soil. A defined and precise application of fertiliser have been and will be one additional important aspect of your future farming practices. Efficiency You invest in the best equipment for seeding and fertilising. In return, you want the best results and low cost of operation. The f-drill has been developed with a positive load balance to reduce axle loads. The proven venturi system keeps it easy and always in functionality. Increased manoeuvrability and the flexibility to combine the f-drill with different implements makes the machine highly efficient. In short, it’s effective

F-DRILL
F-DRILL - FOR EXTRA FLEXIBILITY READY FOR THE FUTURE
The range of Kverneland f-drill front hoppers are available in two sizes and each volume in two versions. The f-drill compact has a capacity of 1600 litres and the f-drill maxi up to 2200 litres. The standard version is equipped with one ELDOS metering unit. Either seeds or fertiliser can be filled into the hopper. Higher application rates can be achieved with the duo version, as two ELDOS units distribute two times up to 400kg/ha of one type of fertiliser or seeds. The modern hopper design made from special plastic is lightweight but enables to take big volumes to distribute the weight and ensure good balance. The material is corrosion resistant and ensures a long lifetime. With the f-drill, it is possible to combine several jobs in one pass, which is saving time and money while protecting the soil.
Taking care of the environment
In spring , the Kverneland f-drill can be used as a fertiliser hopper with the Optima F or in combination with the Kultistrip for strip tillage. In combination with a power harrow/drill combination, such as the Kverneland e-drill, the f-drill can be used as an additional seed hopper for sowing companion or spring crops. In summer and autumn , the hopper can be combined with the Kverneland power harrow range and the well-known coulter bars to have a compact combination from 3.0 up to 6.0m working width. In combination with a stubble cultivator and a distribution system, the f-drill can be used for cover crop seeding and reduce one pass of operation. For precision rape seeding in rows the Optima F is the ideal partner for the f-drill range as fertiliser hopper. Precise application at the right time is the basis for a good start. A quick vegetation through the simultaneous use of different crops at the same time e.g. companion crops, avoids the risk of erosion and ensures that weeds do not go out of control. It also enhances biodiversity. A healthy plant with good rooting is able to use the fertiliser and water efficiently, reduce leaching and increase humus and CO2 storage.

OVERVIEW
TWO HOPPER SIZES AND SYSTEMS
The f-drill has been designed to give farmers and contractors additional flexibility as it adapts to all kind of farming systems. The f-drill is available with capacities of 1,600l as compact and 2,200l as maxi implement. The standard version is equipped with one ELDOS metering unit. Either one item seeds or fertiliser can be filled into the hopper. Higher application rates are obtained with the duo version, as two ELDOS distribute two times up to 600kg/ha of one sort of fertiliser or seeds. The hoppers of the f-drill compact plus and f-drill maxi plus model are divided. Either two types of seeds or seeds and fertiliser can be applied in one pass. The ratio of the hopper split is 60:40. The f-drill models are ISOBUS implements and can work as a stand alone seed drill or can be combined with other implements like planters, hoes, strip-tiller, cultivators and more. One concept from one hand - Thats fits together! ONE PASS IN COMBINATION 1 2 3
Easy filling and lifting The f-drill has the complete seeder
ISOBUS electronics and ELDOS The easily accessible electric driven metering device, ELDOS, with exchangeable rotors is easy to adjust, without any tools. ELDOS is steered by Kverneland e-com software, which is fully ISOBUS compatible. By the automatic section control (GEOCONTROL), the metering device stops/ starts automatically for optimal driver comfort. Calibration is automatic and the sensors monitor the metering rotors and give a warning if a wrong metering rotor is accidentally installed. Calibration tests can be stored and reused afterwards when needed. Easy plug and play is possible due to the ISOBUS compatibility.
Weight balance The f-drill is well-balanced and offers even weight distribution. The optimised position of the hopper keeps the centre of gravity close to the tractor. Weights are important, and in many countries the permissible axle loads are regulated. In Germany, for example, a minimum front axle load of 20 % must be maintained. Instead of having only one implement at the rear, the front hopper combination already provides weight at the front. The additional wheel packer with lifting function relieves the load on the front axle while maintaining good steering ability. The packer is self-steering and pull-attached, which reduces power requirement and fuel consumption. A basic or ISOBUS steered comfort version is available. Optionally, a weight kit can be fitted.
functionality “without” distribution system: integrated electronics, fan and metering device. The hopper made from plastic can easily be filled using e.g. big bags, a front loader or a telescopic handler. The large hopper capacity of up to 2,200 litres reduces the set-up time. The hopper covers open sidewise and lock automatically supported by gas cylinder. The hopper is resistant against corrosion, especially important by fertiliser. Parking wheels are available for quick and easy storage. The f-drill can easily be hitched as there is no PTO shaft needed. Pipes installed on the side of the cab convey the seed or fertiliser to the coulters by an air stream.

MANY POSSIBILITIES AND COMBINATIONS
The front hopper models are ready to combine with different implements and for operation in various working widths. Seeding and fertilising, seeding and cultivation or fertilising and cultivation as strip-tillage in one pass is possible as well as the combined application of seeds and companion crops. The machine’s clear layout and the high level of incorporated intelligent technology offers the user maximum ease of use, from set-up and filling, to balanced transport with good view in front and rear of the tractor. The combination makes it versatile to have everything done in one pass.
Flexible in combination
The modular structure of the Kverneland f-drill ensures an even weight distribution across the machine arrangement, giving the tractor the best balance by maximum capacity. This improves both safety and manoeuvrability, whilst at the same time giving the driver an unrestricted view of the entire machine set-up.

THE “PLUS” - TWO PRODUCTS IN ONE PASS
COMBINED APPLICATION INCREASE EFFICIENCY The Kverneland f-drill compact plus and f-drill maxi plus allows seeding and fertilising in one pass but also the combined application of seeds and companion crops. The dissolved set-up together with the combination of a power harrow and coulter bar shows an optimum weight balance and carries out seedbed preparation, fertilising and seeding in one pass.
Both “plus” hoppers either with a a capacity of 1.600 or 2,200 litre hopper volume is using two independent electric driven metering ELDOS devices. The hoppers are divided to a ratio of 60:40 and allows to meter and applicate two different products with different rates in one pass. If needed, the operator can also use the complete hopper for one product by quickly removing the separating wall, which is simply screwed in place. This offers full flexibility. The Kverneland venturi metering system which is less sensitive enables also high application rates and allows the application of two types of different seeds or seed and fertiliser in one pass and in different application rates. The flexible and individual depth setting of each CX-II coulter with press wheel via the hole and pin system allows different depth adjustment. 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 alternately row by row.

F-DRILL - EFFICIENT IN USE
OPERATOR’S SAFETY AND EASY MANOEUVRABILITY
The compact design of the f-drill front hopper still gives the tractor driver excellent visibility. The f-drill will give optimal balance to the rear and front combination. With tractors able to carry much higher loads on their rear linkages, the need for ballast weight on the front of the tractor is essential. With a nominal volume of up to 2200 litres, the f-drill is that front end weight, adding stability to the tractor, but only when needed. From the tractor cab the operator has the entire machine in view, the working procedures can be monitored constantly and conveniently. The Kverneland f-drill offers the perfect balance between size and compactness! The hopper is fitted with an access platform, ideal for maintenance purposes and for the filling operation. A close-fitting 2-part hopper cover protects from dust and water and can easily be opened and closed. The wide opening of the hopper allows filling with a big bag or filling auger. The hopper sieves protect the ELDOS from stones etc. They are divided into smaller sections, making them easy to remove for cleaning the inside of the hopper. The positioning of all the major components is well-organised and clear. The hydraulic fan and the ELDOS metering device are located in front of the hopper for best access. A radar sensor records the speed in order to maintain the relevant distribution rate at the correct time.

SUSTAINABILITY
F-DRILL - SOIL THE MOST VALUABLE ASSET WEIGHT BALANCE
Soil compaction caused by the use of heavy agriculture machinery in not optimal soil conditions affects crucial soil functions. Tire pressure, traction and wheel load are well- known key drivers of compaction. Soil structural deformation increased with higher drawbar pull and number of wheeling passes. Especially in wet periods, the separate tillage and seeding system reduced the impact on the soil structure due to better weight distribution. The optional self-steering and pull-attached wheel packer with lifting function relieves the load on the front axle while maintaining good steering ability. The packer consists from three wheels (3x 31x15.50-15) and takes a bearing load of up to 1,500kg. A bulldozing effect is avoided. The packer can pivot 15° to the right and left while driving and ensures the self-steering effect. The passive self-steering and pull-attached packer reduce power requirement and fuel consumption.
A basic or ISOBUS steered comfort version with an intelligent overload protection is available. The comfort packer is lowered/lifted automatically, if ELDOS will start or stop.
Optionally, weight kits from 100kg up to maximum 600kg are available and can be used as additional ballast for the front axle.

PRECISE SEED METERING WITH ELDOS
AUTOMATIC AND SAFE
ELDOS is the electric driven metering device for Kverneland pneumatic seed drills. It is state-of-the-art technology for perfect seed placement.
ELDOS is steered by Kverneland e-com software, which is fully ISOBUS compatible. By the automatic section control, GEOCONTROL, the metering device stops/starts automatically. Double and/or missed seeding on headlands or odd-shaped fields is avoided. Special sensors ensure complete functionality from the tractor cab. Calibration is automatic, and a range of interchangeable seed metering rotors can be swapped - even when the hopper is full - without the need for tools. Sensors monitor the metering rotors, and give a warning if the wrong metering rotors are accidentally installed. Additional rotors, a scale and calibration bag are always ready to hand and stored well-protected against dust in a tool box near the metering device.
Good results of seed rate variation across the drill.

TRANSPORT
SAFE ON THE ROAD –
UNRESTRICTED VIEW, WELL-BALANCED AND EASY
The front hopper gives the driver an unrestricted view onto the field and the road during transport. This is ensured by its low height and by the distribution pipes running alongside the tractor.
Increasing driver’s comfort -reducing tractor’s wear and tear
Made of special plastic the hopper offers large capacity and is at the same time light to carry. Fitted in front of the tractor, the weight balance on both axles is optimal for a smooth run – which is good for both the tractor and driver’s comfort.
Quick in the field and quick on the road – the foldable coulter bar versions can be effortlessly switched from working to transport position (< 3 m) directly from the cab. For improved load balance, extra stability, and legal compliance during road transport, an additional support wheel is available, which can be mounted either on the power harrow or the coulter bar. No uncoupling of the top linkage is required. The constant hydraulic supporting force on the wheel guarantees smooth operation, enhancing both safety and comfort. The Rotago F models equipped with a support wheel are homologated* for 40 km/h transport within Europe. For improved visibility and to meet regional homologation requirements, Kverneland also offers a camera system. Two cameras with a dedicated screen and connection provide maximum safety and control. LED road lights are standard on the f-drill and f-drill CB coulter bars, while optional LED working lights ensure safe and efficient operation during night shifts. * see local road regulations

F-DRILL CB - IN COMBINATION FOR HIGHER UTILISATION
Increasing performance and utilization is important to reduce farm and production costs. Combining machines and applications by reducing passes is a key strategy for maximizing productivity on the farm. The one pass operation will not only saves time and labour but also minimises fuel consumption and reduces wear and tear on machinery.
The modular structure of the Kverneland coulter bars ensure an even weight distribution across the machine arrangement.
The foldable coulter bar versions perfectly complements for the Rotago F power harrow. It is available in working widths from 4 to 6m and allows a quick coupling with the Rotago F power harrow. The rigid coulter bars are easily combined to the power harrow via the Kverneland EURO CONNECTION.
High performance in combination
Different distribution heads and a certain amount of shut-off valves are available to regulate the seed flow.
The coulter bars in combination with the front hopper f-drill can be fitted with CX-II or CX-II double entry coulters which allow an additional application of seeds, the combined application of seeds and fertiliser as well as of seeds and companion crops. The coulters are clamped to the toolbar to allow various sowing distances. The coulter bar can be ordered with 12.5cm and 25cm row spacing in order to meet the individual farming system. The right finish is ensured by the S-tine following harrow.
Solo power harrow operation at the headland is made possible by the ability to lift the coulter bar.

PRECISION
CX-II COULTERS FOR PRECISE APPLICATION
TO ENSURE BEST GERMINATION CONDITIONS
Precision in the placement of seeds and fertilisers is crucial for efficient and sustainable agriculture. The development of the f-drill CB coulter bars, along with the CX-II coulters, aims to achieve high yields while minimising environmental impact through reduced soil disturbance, targeted application and wheel compaction.
CX-II coulter with press wheel Press wheels can be adjusted in fixed position or can be lifted out to adapt quickly to changing conditions. The individual depth settings allow different depths even within one machine width alternately row by row. This can be crucial for sowing multiple products in a single pass e.g. rape at a shallower depth and companion crops like beans deeper. CX-II coulter without press wheel Alternatively, Kverneland provides a cost-efficient CX-II coulter version without a press wheel for wet and sticky soils. The special curved disc design provides sufficient bearing capacity even in lighter conditions. This option may also be appealing for reducing lifting capacity, allowing smaller tractors to operate the seed drill. CX-II coulter double entry The CX-II coulter with double entry application tubes allows to applicate two items in one pass. Different distribution heads and a certain amount of shut-off valves are available to regulate the seed flow. Two products placed with one coulter e.g. as seed mixture or seeds together with special fertiliser which will not burn the seeds. This is especially suitable for example phosphoric fertiliser to support the initial germination and youth development of the plants in the most efficient way. The CX-II disc coulter ensures smooth operation, minimal soil disturbance, and precise seed placement. Its flat cutting angle of only 5.4° requires less pulling force to reach a constant sowing depth of up to 6cm. By combining a 325mm steel disc with a flexible plastic disc, independent scrapers are unnecessary. The CX-II coulters are maintenance-free and can achieve up to 50kg coulter pressure with a pre-loaded spring. Safe operation is ensured even at high working speeds and with plant residues on the soil surface. With an inter-row coulter staggering of 445mm and a following press wheel for optimum seed/soil contact, it performs well in all conditions.
