METERING DEVICE ELDOS ®
OPTIMUM SEED PLACEMENT 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 controlled by the 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.
Good results of seed rate variation across the drill.
According to the test from Profi magazine,, the coefficients of variation of seed rate across the drill (i.e. the spread around the average) were 2.7% for wheat, 3.3% for grass and 3.7% for OSR.
Seed rate is pretty consistent across the width of the drill, showing maximum errors of 12% (OSR), 7% (wheat) and 7% (grass). Graph: ST. Source: Magazine Profi
