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.

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.
