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.
CX-II coulter with double entry for two sorts of appli- cation and seeding in one pass.
On slightly sticky soils an optional scraper is recommended.
Clamped CX-II coulter to be flexible in row spacing.
