Kuhn's Maxima 2 TRX precision drill.
Kuhn has extended its Maxima 2 range of precision seed drills with the addition of a 12m trailed model. Working in 16- or 18-row formats, the Maxima 2 TRX offers seed spacing from 70-80cm and folds to 3.5m for transport.
Seeding units are equipped with a large-diameter disc to select seeds one by one and place them accurately at an optimum operation speed is 8km/hr. The pressure of the seeding units on the soil can reach 150kg, avoiding slippage as well as enabling seeding on land where there are plant residues. Outputs of 100ha/day are achievable with the Maxima 2 TRX.
A fertiliser application system with a 4,300-litre capacity is fitted as standard on this machine. This uses a fluted metering unit so that fertiliser is distributed in each row via a distribution head. The fertiliser is placed close to the seeding line with a double-disc drill.
Unlike the existing folding frames on the market, the seeding units on the Maxima 2 TRX are driven mechanically from the frame's central wheels, thus ensuring a uniform density of seeds right across the working width. In addition, the outer seeding units are attached using Kuhn's patented parallelogram system to ensure constant seeding depth on uneven ground.
