When it is calm for sowing: FG "Viorika" starts the third season with KUHN Planter Select

The foundation of agribusiness success is high-quality and accurate sowing. Every Ukrainian agrarian is looking for a solution that will provide the farm with economically justified results and the opportunity to move forward. The "Viorika" farm, which works in the fields of the Starokonstiantyniv district of the Khmelnytskyi region, chose the KUHN Planter 3 Select mounted pneumatic precision seed drill two years ago.

"This is the seeder that we were really looking for and that we were counting on," says Petro Levchuk, head of the farm, "this will be the third sowing campaign, during which I am calm that everything will be sown accurately, qualitatively, on time and without force majeure . Reliability without compromises, accuracy without deviations, ease of use and ease of setup. The result is what we expected when we chose this unit. And with all these advantages, the technician has an adequate price."

The farm purchased a seeder for sowing sunflower and corn on the advice of a specialist Tyten Machinery Ukraine. Its feature is exceptional modularity in all precision seeding configurations, so you can choose the option that is right for your field - from 8-row for small farms to 24-row XL/XXL for large areas. A total of 3 different models of planters with six types of frames are available in the line, which makes it possible to find an option that will meet your needs and your soil.
 
  At the heart of the seeder is an optimized sowing device
The seeding device of the PLANTER 3 precision sowing planters has been improved. Seed release height has been reduced to less than 10cm from the ground. This sowing device, capable of working with any type of seed, has the highest precision. There are three types of seeding devices for PLANTER 3:

- Rear coulter: economical solution with a pivot point at the rear for deep seeding.
- Pendulum: Focused on beets, this unit has two pivot points at the back and front for perfect depth control on prepared soil.
- Device with an open disk: for working in conditions of a significant amount of plant remains on homogeneous soil; this unit controls depth using the front wheels and the rear track wheel. The furrow opens with two discs.

Distribution is another advanced aspect of the PLANTER 3 seeding device. Equipped with a high-strength aluminum casing, the seed selection unit works by reducing air pressure; the reliability of the device has been increased, and the mechanical push-out provides improved uniformity of operation.
 
  Several models for many tasks

KUHN has developed the PLANTER 3 line, which contains four groups of different frames designed for different applications:

- One-piece frame provides the possibility of sowing from 3 to 18 rows and working width from 2.50 to 9 m.
- Simple telescopic: these planters, designed for easy transport, offer the possibility of sowing from 6 to 8 rows with four row spacing options of 50, 55, 75 or 80 cm.
- Positioned telescopic: sowing of six rows with several row spacing options. Reliable and adaptable, this planter is extremely durable. The patented VARIMAX technology is also available for these planters.
- Folding: ideal for large farms, this frame has a transport width of 3 m and allows sowing in 1, 2 or 3 sections.

Precision seed drills can have from 2 to 6 wheels, are equipped with 25 l hoppers as standard and 47 l hoppers as an option.


XL/XXL – for large farms

The PLANTER 3 line is complemented by a model designed for large or even very large farms - PLANTER 3 TRS. With 24 rows and 45 cm row spacing for sowing beets, you can achieve high work intensity. For aggregation with tractors of lower power, the machine can be converted to 16 or 18 rows with 70 cm row spacing for sowing corn and sunflower. The seeder's seeding device ensures the same high accuracy. Across the width of the work, you will have a uniform seeding depth and density at the same intervals, regardless of the type of seed.
  And finally, the beams that support the planter copy the surface, maintaining a constant seeding depth under any circumstances.
