Kuhn: New folding options in combination drill range

Published on January 22, 2012

Kuhn has added 4.5m and 5.0m hydraulic folding models to its Venta NCR pneumatic drill combination range that both fold to 2.85m for transport.
    Seedbed preparation is carried out by Kuhn's HR 1004 series power harrow (folding), suited to tractors up to 250hp. With a 1,600-litre rear hopper capacity and the Seedflex coulter bar included - plus the option of additional cultivations on the tractor front linkage - this creates a high-output combination that is both accurate and versatile.
    Kuhn's patented Seedflex coulter bar - launched in recent years and now a feature on many drills in the range - is equipped with double discs offset on the parallelogram. Large-diameter press wheels achieve ground pressure up to 45kg per unit ensuring uniform seeding depth and good seed to soil contact even at high seeding speeds.
    The new Venta NCR drills include Kuhn's Quantron S facility coupled to an electric cell wheel drive to provide full seeding control. This allows variable seed rate and allows up to 200 field records to be stored in the memory, including the variety seeded, application rate, date of seeding, and so on.
