Drill combo for different soil types

A good seedbed falls to the integrated Zirkon power harrow, featuring four tine carriers per metre of working width. Offering hydraulic depth adjustment as standard, working depth, rotor speed and forward speed can all be adjusted individually, enabling the Solitair PT to cover ground quickly at a shallow depth, or deeply and intensively, depending on the individual soil conditions and the finish required. The rear levelling bar, aft of the tine rotors, can be adjusted hydraulically or mechanically, contributing to a consistently even finish.

Equipped with large-volume metal tanks, the Solitair can be specified with a choice of a single 4400 litre capacity tank, or a double tank of 5100 litres capacity, with a 40:60 split. Featuring corrosion-resistant components and integrated agitator shaft, a modular metering system offers consistent handling of a wide range of seeds or fertilisers.

The Solitair PT coulter bar incorporates parallelogram-guided, double disc coulters, available as OptiDisc M, with up to 45kg coulter pressure, or OptiDisc H, which is capable of up to 70kg downforce. Coulter pressure can be adjusted mechanically or hydraulically, independently of the seed depth, said to be a key advantage when working in changing soil conditions and at high speeds.

Seed placement can be further improved by a trapeze packer roller, running ahead of the coulters, to ensure optimum seed-to-soil contact, resulting in rapid and even emergence of the crop.

Designed for maximum utility and ease of use, a long drawbar enables tight turns, even when mounted on tractors using wide tyre equipment. Practical options include a leading tyre packer, wheel mark eradicator discs or tractor wheel mark eradicators.
