2018 Kverneland u-drill plus 4.0m

2018 Kverneland u-drill plus 4.0m

Depending on the working width, the hopper capacity is either 3000l (3m and 4m) and 4350l (6m). The hopper of the rigid u-drill is divided lengthwise and the two metering devices are accordingly positioned either side. The proportion is 40 : 60.

The u-drill plus is especially adapted to suite the need of precise fertiliser placement at the seed. These crops can show substantial yield increase when applying fertilser with a relatively high percentage of phosphate together with the seeds. In Scandinavian and Eastern European countries the fertiliser is usaually placed between the rows besides and below the seed, whereas in other countries e.g. Scotland the preferred method is to apply both seeds and fertilser in the same row. In trials of spring sown crops, yields have shown increasses up to 25% compared to crops where ther fertiliser has been applied by other methods.

The u-drill plus is able to deliver fertiliser application rates up to 400kg/ha and 15km/h. The pressurised hopper system of the 6m version ensures these rates are maintained even under the most difficult conditions.

• High speed operation (10 18km/h)

• Perfect seed placement

• Modular frame concept for flexible adjustment to customers requirements
