Kverneland Satio

• 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 Satio 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
