KRM
Ares 2713 Soladrill
Quality
sowing means better germination and more even emergence. Utilizing a robust plastic hopper further reduces the weight of the Ares 2713 allowing smaller lower horsepower tractors to be used for significant
crop establishment cost savings.

KRM
Elite Coulter
|
 |
Elite
tine coulters are mounted in three rows (4 on solo drills) on equal length arms.
Pressure is supplied by a heavy duty spring positioned at
a shallow angle below the tine. This geometry ensures that
for each movement of the tip the corresponding deflection
of the spring is small resulting in more even pressure and
therefore depth. This system works equally well when shallow
drilling (rape) or deep drilling (peas) as well as in varying
soil conditions.
|
|
|
Arranged
over 3 evenly spaced rows, the Elite tine
coulters are able to handle large amounts of surface trash without
blockage. Solo drills feature an additional row of coulters for greater clearance.

 |
| |
KRM PT Coulter |
 |
PT tine coulters are mounted in four rows on equal length arms.
The top mounted coil spring delivers 60kg of pressure at the tip for improved penetration in min-till seedbeds or when drilling direct. The narrow (12mm) tip ensures minimal disturbance for improved weed control. The easy to replace tip has single bolt fixing and a tungsten carbide tip ensuring long life performance. |
|
Solo drills with PT coulters as shown opposite feature 4 rows of coulters for maximum inter row clearance this allows the drill to handle large amounts of trash without blockage. Drills fitted with a cultivator have 3 rows of coulters to minimise the overall length of the drill. |

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. |

|
The
sowing depth is set centrally using two ratchet adjusters. The
parallel linkage design ensures equal depth across the four
row of coulters. Wing support wheels are standard across the
range. Mounted at the extremity of the wing these wheels allow
the frame to follow ground contours. To ensure accurate depth
setting the wing support wheels are fitted with an identical
depth scale to those on the central depth adjusters. |
|
|
| |
|
|
Two
rows of staggered following harrow tines leave a level seedbed. The
maximum working depth of the tines can be adjusted as can tine pressure
and angle. |
| |
|
|
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.
