Description
The Kverneland Satio is a compact solo seed drill and is the ideal machine for small and medium-sized farms. As a tractor-mounted solo seed drill, the Satio combines compact, lightweight design with the proven Kverneland quality. The close centre of gravity ensures a minimum power requirement of up to 54 kW and allows higher working speeds. In solo operation, the Kverneland Satio offers extra flexibility to adapt also to extreme weather conditions.
The rigid Satio seed drill is available in working width of 3.0 and 4.0 meters. The wheels of the Satio can be easily adjusted to any track width. This ensures a constant ground contact driving the mechanical metering device of the Satio. Integrated track eradicators are standard. The CX-II coulters with or without press wheels are clamped to the coulter bar and enable to choose the right row spacing of 12.5cm or 25cm to adapt to individual farming systems. The coulter pressure is adjusted mechanically.
The Satio pneumatic solo seeder has a hopper capacity of 750 litres, 1000 litres with extension. For electronic control, the FGS and Signus are available options.
Features
Features
- The central, totally enclosed cell wheel of the metering device accurately measures the required volume of seed and discharges it into the venturi cone where it is mixed with the air stream and then conveyed through the diffuser tube and the seed delivery hoses to the coulters.
- The distribution head is mounted in a protected position inside the seed hopper.
- The central metering device accurately metres any desired volume of seed from 2kg per hectare to 380kg per hectare
- Differences in metering accuracy are +/- 1% for diagonal and length wise inclination (F.A.T. CH (University of Switzerland))
- Only 1 metering device is needed for up to 32 coulters
- For the sowing of fine seeds, e.g. rape or grass, the metering device can be infinitely adjusted to fine seed/micro-metering by means of a spindle, without any need for tools.
- The metering system is mechanically driven via the landwheel running in the tractor track to always have grip.
- 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.
Choice of sowing distance
Sowing distance 12.5cm
- Best distribution for high seed rates
- Rows close quickly
- Reduced weed pressure
- Efficient use of nutrients, water and sun
Sowing distance 25cm
- Optimised micro climate reduces fungal infestation
- Less seeds needed per m² with new type of seeds (hybrid)
- Saving on water resources
- Reduced pulling force requested
- Better clearance in wet conditions
