The CX-II coulters, with or without press wheels, are clamped to the coulter bar and allow the adaptation to individual farming systems by choosing the right row spacing of 12.5cm or 25cm. The coulter pressure is adjusted mechanically or can be controlled hydraulically from the cab. The sowing depth is centrally adjusted via spacers. Press wheels support the fine adjustment of the sowing depth and increase soil-to-seed contact for fast emergence. Integrated track eradicators are standard
A full range of options like pre-emergence markers, S-tine following harrow, road light kit or LED working lights are available to customize to individual needs.
What are the benefits of a solo seed drill ?
The Kverneland Satio Solo Seed Drill is designed for modern farmers who want precise, efficient, and sustainable sowing, without depending on seedbed preparation. This solo operation gives you maximum flexibility and more control over timing, sowing depth, and soil conditions, delivering higher yields and lower input costs. Solo drilling extends your operational window and helps balance seasonal workload peaks since you are not tied to other fieldwork schedules. The Kverneland Satio allows faster working speeds and precise seed placement also at shallow depth. This means more hectares in less time without compromising on accuracy.
Reduced soil compaction and fuel costs
Solo drilling requires less tractor power, minimizes soil compaction, and reduces fuel consumption.
Better weed and pest control
Featuring the advanced CX-II coulter, the Kverneland Satio ensures accurate seed placement with minimal soil disturbance. This enhances mechanical weed control and supports integrated pest management strategies.
Features
Features
- The metering device ELDOS accurately measures the required volume of seed by the distinctive rotor and discharges it into the seed injector where is is mixed with the air stream and then conveyed through the diffusor tube and the seed delivery hoses to the coulters.
- The distribution head is mounted in a protected position inside the seed hopper.
- ELDOS is electric driven by e-bas and e-com, the e-com edition is fully ISOBUS compatible, e-bas works as stand alone controlled system.
- GEOCONTROL by GPS signal is possible which avoids double seeding.
- Special sensors ensure functionality from the tractor cab.
- Five standard rotors are delivered: for fine and large seeds or fertiliser.
- The exchange of the rotors is quickly and easily done without any tools.
- Application rates from 1 to 400kg/ha are possible (depending on working speed and width).
- The metering device is always easily accessible.
Calibration
- Very simple calibration test due to the separate seed guidance.
- A remote control allows the driver to operate the calibration process at the metering device.
- No gear has to be adjusted. The driver simply enters the desired values into the terminal, presses one button to start at the metering device and that’s it.
- The calibration is done automatically.
- A calibration flap with an integrated gate prevents any seed from dropping into the hose.
- The CX-II disc coulter from Kverneland not only guarantees smoother running but also exact seed placement.
- The flatter cutting angle of only 5.4° of the steel disc requires less pulling power to reach a constant seeding depth of up to 6cm.
- Due to the combination of the steel disc with a diameter of 325mm and the flexible plastic disc, there is no need for independent scrapers, saving the cost for expensive wearing parts. In addition the coulter is completely maintenance-free!
- Up to 50kg coulter pressure can be achieved by a pre-loaded spring. Safe operation is ensured when working with high working speeds and high quantities of plant residues on the soil surface.
- An inter-row coulter spacing of 445mm for maximum clearance and the following press wheel (standard equipment) ensure an optimum seed/soil contact in all conditions.
- The press wheels can be set in fixed, floating of lifted position in order to be able to adapt quickly to changing weather, soil or working conditions.
- The CX-II coulter is also available as light edition without press wheel which reduces the weight and length of the coulterbar. This will allow to operate the seeding combination also with lower lifting capacity of the tractor.
- The drill can be ordered with two different row spacings of 12.5cm or 25.0cm according to individual farming systems.
- The CX II coulters are clamped in staggered position over 2 rows by short and longer brackets.
- More clearance means different seed density and micro climate in the crop.
