KRM
2311 Double Disc Drill
The KRM
2311 Soladrill quality sowing means better germination and
more even emergence, using less horsepower,less fuel and in
less time for significant crop establishment cost savings.

Double
Disc Coulters
The
leading disc design of KRM's double disc coulter allows
the coulter to cut through soil and crop residue more
easily than coulters where the disc's are nose to nose.
This design also minimises the risk of hair pinning and
trapping stones etc between the disc's. The narrow angle
of the two disc's reduces the coulters foot print meaning
less coulter pressure is required and higher forward speeds
can be achieved.
|
 |
|
|
Coulter Adjustment
The
coulter bar is mounted to the chassis of the drill via a
parallel linkage, this arrangement ensures that each row
of disc's runs at precisely the same attacking angle.
|
Pressure
Adjustment
Each
coulter unit is mounted on a parallel linkage to the coulter
bar with the facility to adjust the coulter pressure. A handle allows four pressure settings to be selected.
|
 |
|
|
Press
Wheels
The
pressure on each press wheel can easily be adjusted to suit
the conditions. The contour following ability of the press
wheels ensures a constant drilling depth is maintained despite
variations in soil type, essential where several soil types
are present within the same field.

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 solution 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. |
|
|
|
The
tramlining sequence is advanced automatically when the operator moves
the markers. The angle of the large diameter marker disc's can be
adjusted to ensure a clear mark is left in difficult seed beds. Rear
fold markers are standard on 6m drills. |

|
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
flotation wheels ensuring constant drive and a clean start/stop to
each bout. Accurate calibration is performed simply by turning the
wheel and collecting the metered seed. |

|
|
|
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. |
