KRM Double Disc Coulter
|
 |
The leading disc design allows the coulter to cut through the soil surface and crop residues while minimizing the risk of "hair pinning" and trapping stones between the disc's. Maintenance free, slimline hubs provide maximum clearance between coulter units to prevent blockages in min-till situations. The shallow angle of the disc's reduces the amount of soil being moved for minimum disturbance drilling, this reduces the power requirement of the tractor and ensures seeds are always covered, deeper drilling is also easier to achieve.

|
|
|
| |
Coulter pressure is simple to adjust, with four settings between minimum and maximum. The parallel linkage design ensures the optimum attack angle is always maintained. |
|
. |
Drilling depth is adjusted by altering the position of the press wheel using the adjuster shown above, a choice of 9 positions are available. |
|
|
Spoked to reduce weight and close coupled to optimize drilling depth the press wheels ensure good seed soil contact for even emergence. |

Features

|
|
The solatronic
control box monitors all key areas of sowing including; forward
speed, area sown, fan speed, hopper level and tramline management.
Further details
of this and other electronic solutions for variable rate drilling
can be found here
|
| When
on a tramline bout the tramline valves save seed back to the tank,
preventing over sowing and ensuring a clean start to each tramline.
As standard two shutoffs are used per wheeling, three can be specified
to accommodate large/flotation tyres. |
|
|
|
Heavy
duty, shear bolt protected markers leave an easily visible mark. The
angle of the large diameter marker disc's can be adjusted to ensure
a clear mark is left in difficult seed beds. The tramlining sequence
is advanced automatically when the operator moves the markers. |
|
|
The
position of the metering unit makes calibration and rate
setting simple. Rather than being tucked under the center
of the hopper the metering unit is located at the front
left hand corner greatly improving access.
The
central metering unit offers precise control of sowing rate
from 2 to 400kg/ha and ensures even seed spacing. The seed
is metered into a high speed air stream then distributed
to the individual coulters. This unit offers easy calibration,
simple setting and fast hopper emptying.
|
|
|
|
|
Drive for
the metering unit is supplied by a shaft from one of the drills
large flotation wheels ensuring constant drive. Accurate calibration
is performed simply by turning the wheel and collecting the
metered seed. To prevent the wheel running on when the drill
is lifted at the headland a brake wheel is fitted. |
|
|
| |
| |
|
|
Large diameter serrated disc's leave a well defined mark. The angle of the disc can be adjusted to suit various conditions and wheel or centre marking can be set as preferred. A check valve eliminates the possibility of marker creep, the pivoting mount ensures that the marker is always in contact with the ground. |

Ares Solo
As a solo drill
the Ares is available in 4, 4.5, 4.8, 5, and 6m widths. Even in
wider widths the compact design of this drill allows a low horsepower,
lightweight tractor to be used. Resulting in reduced fuel usage
and compaction whilst maintaining high daily work rates. Standard
specification includes hydraulic drive fan.
|
| |
|
|
Ares Integrated
Cultivator
Here the cultivator
is integrated into the drill design allowing the weight of the hopper
contents to remain close to the tractor for reduced lift requirement.
It features two rows of adjustable tines to provide
initial loosening prior to sowing. Suitable for use in a wide range
of conditions including heavy, wet soils and Min-Till incorporated
seed beds.
