Kverneland TFprofi (SX)

Operating at speeds up to 18 km/h, the system delivers high efficiency with precise depth control. The heavy sowing unit allows additional pressure up to 100 kg per unit, ensuring consistent performance. Large 410 mm gauge wheels provide excellent ground contour following.

Precise seed placement is achieved through a small coulter that creates a clean furrow, with a flexible intermediate press wheel and adjustable V-press wheel ensuring proper seed coverage.

The Optima SX seeding heart uses a pressurised airstream up to 70 km/h to place seeds accurately. Each row is electrically powered via ISOBUS, eliminating the need for additional power sources and ensuring reliable, precise operation.

• Stable design, modular system, low maintenance costs, high degree of wear resistance and optimum depth placement
• For fertiliser placement Kverneland supplies hoppers for different applications
• The chain drive for metering can be adjusted from 106 to 390kg per hectare at a distance between rows of 75cm
• The fertiliser applicator is driven centrally by an easily accessible side mounted gear box
• Fertilising coulter, standard seeding with narrow coulter design and stable, reliable construction, coil spring protection from sideways forces
• Mulch seeding notched double-disc coulter for blockage-free and precise fertiliser placement by a Ø 350mm notched double-disc Coulter

The Kverneland PUDAMA system improves fertiliser efficiency while reducing environmental impact. Conventional band application often wastes fertiliser by placing it where roots cannot reach, leading to losses and leaching.

PUDAMA precisely controls both the amount and placement of fertiliser, delivering nutrients only where they are needed. During seeding, fertiliser is applied via an airstream below and beside each seed, ensuring optimal availability for root uptake.

This targeted placement allows every plant to access its own nutrient supply, improving efficiency and reducing waste. As a result, PUDAMA maintains full yield potential while reducing starter fertiliser use by at least 25 percent.

GEOCONTROL – Cost saving with immediate payback

Seeding with GPS and GEOCONTROL in combination with an electric driven precision drill is a major step towards precision and cost saving. These machines are all equipped with ISOBUS technology which with the help of the IsoMatch Tellus terminal, can be easily controlled.

Each electric driven seeding element, in combination with GPS and GEOCONTROL, is automatically switched on or off in exactly the right place, ensuring there is no overlap with any row that has already been seeded. This is especially handy in triangular fields, on curved or irregular shaped headlands.

GEOSEED is the precise synchronization of seed placement across the full working width of the machine. This ensures that seeds are distributed evenly, achieving an optimal pattern—either parallel or diamond-shaped—across the soil surface. The positive effects of this technology are far-reaching. By enhancing seed distribution, GEOSEED maximizes the efficient use of key resources such as nutrients, water, and sunlight, fostering optimal plant growth. Additionally, this uniform planting pattern helps reduce the risks of wind and water erosion, as the even distribution of plants improves soil structure and coverage, leading to better water retention and minimizing soil degradation.

Due to varying soil conditions and working speeds, the force required to maintain a defined working depth will vary. Kverneland GEOFORCE is the automatically steered constant depth guidance on the go, independent from changing soil conditions, residues, weather and working speed. Perfectly precise seed placement at an even sowing depth is the pre-requisite for optimal field emergence, good harvest conditions, resulting in higher yields and best corn quality.

With the new GEOFORCE system, each individual Optima sowing row is automatically pressurized adjusting to changing soil conditions or forward speeds. The automatic, constant pressure control ensures optimal seed placement at an even seed horizon which results in uniform seed germination and field emergence. Especially smaller seeds like rape, which need a shallower sowing depth, benefit from the release option of GEOFORCE. In addition, the bulldozing effect or formation of dams in very light soil conditions are prevented.

The electric micro-drill for Optima HD-II and SX sowing units enables precise application of microgranules such as nutrients, insecticides, or fungicides. Mounted behind each unit, it features a 17 L hopper and ISOBUS control for accurate operation. A durable plastic housing with stainless steel cell wheels ensures consistent metering.

Operator safety is improved, as cell wheels can be changed without emptying the hopper, reducing contact with granules.

Microgranules are applied without air support, minimising dust emissions and meeting environmental standards.

Full ISOBUS integration allows automatic on and off control, preventing overlaps and ensuring precise application across the field.
