1 u-drill Universal multi-seeding combination The sum of precision and operator convenience

2 u-drill: perfect seed placement at high speeds u-drill set new benchmarks With their new u-drill, Kverneland Accord the specialists for seeding technology within the Kverneland Group have launched a reliable multi-seeding combination for conventional seeding and mulch seeding on large areas ideal for farmers with an annual rate of work of 200 to 5,000 hectares. With its mature design, the new u-drill combines high performance with operator convenience to achieve consistently good work results even at high speeds! The secret is a modular design with perfectly aligned stages of work.

3 Uniform seedbed over the entire working width Perfect preparation, levelling, reconsolidation of the seedbed, and placing and pressing the seeds is achieved in one single pass that saves time! The high accuracy of distribution and the precise depth placement ensure a uniform emergence. Here, proven Kverneland components such as the Qualidisc short disc harrow are at work, which ensures a fine and uniform seedbed over the entire working width. The heart of the machine is its coulters. The extremely slim structure of the laterally offset discs ensures an easy penetration into the soil so that nearly all of the coulter pressure (as much as 100kg) can be used for pressing with the integrated press wheels that saves fuel! The u-drill is extremely operator-friendly All important settings can be changed from a central point, at the push of a button. The coulter depth can be adjusted conveniently from the cab, calibration is started by pushing a button directly at the metering device, and the automatic headland management system only requires a single hydraulic control valve. It goes without saying that the u-drill is fully ISOBUS compatible, so the driver is always kept informed about the machine s performance at a glance. Another plus is the large hopper with its capacity of 4,350l and two easily accessible metering devices. Application rates and part widths can be controlled by the optional GEOcontrol. The farmer can fully focus on driving in the fi eld. Consistently good results, whether on sand, loam or clay u-drill with front tyre packer. Kverneland already offers the u-drill for a working width of 6m further versions are set to follow. Flexible equipment options, interchangeable tools and a lightweight, yet robust structure allow the deployment of the u-drill on all kinds of sites. For a perfect result in all seeding conditions, Kverneland recommends the fully equipped Conclusion: The universal multiseeding combination in proven Kverneland quality saves time and money!

4 u-drill: strong, user-friendly and universal step by step NEW! Metering device Two electrically driven metering devices with ISOBUS and sensor control Remote control for calibration test at the metering unit. For small to large seeds and fertiliser with application rates from 2 to 400kg/ha using only 4 standard rotors. Tooless exchange the rotors, quick and easy by hand. Simple and exact calibration test by separate seed guidance. Integrated emptying flap and shut off. Step 1: Level the soil For the best possible preparation, the front tyre packer levels the soil, crushes large clods and thus paves the way for the optimum depth control of the following tools. The front tyre packer has a diameter of 800mm and can be lifted hydraulically, simply by pushing a button, when it is not needed. Step 2: Prepare the seedbed Two rows with short disc harrows the familiar and well proven Kverneland Qualidisc with its conical disc shape and individual suspension ensure a fine and uniform seedbed over the entire working width. Thanks to a new hydraulic system, the disc harrow can be adjusted with continuous variability from the cab. Step 3: First pack, then seed For a perfect depth control of the coulters and an optimum seed-to-soil contact for excellent capillary action, the loosened soil is re-compacted with large tyre packers. The large tyre diameter of 900mm signifi cantly reduces the tractive power required by the machine and thus ensures a consistently good work result.

5 wheels. The result: uniform seeding depth even at high working speeds! The seeding depth and the coulter pressure can be centrally controlled by the push of a button from the tractor that saves additional time. Step 4: Seed and press with guaranteed seeding depth The slim shape of the coulters with their slightly offset steel discs makes for an easy penetration into the soil. As a consequence, little pressure is required in this step and only little soil is displaced. The coulter pressure of 100kg can thus primarily be used for the pressing with the integrated press The secure depth control and the pressing-on of the seed grain produce a capillary system in the soil that ensures a perfect water supply and excellent germination. Step 5: Closing Combing the soil completes the seeding. S-shaped or finger harrows ensure an optimum covering of the seeds. The working intensity can be set by the stepless pressure adjustment and at three different angles. To prevent damage to the harrow when reversing, it is equipped with an effective reversing device.
