Sola Drill

KRM 799 Soladrill

The KRM 799 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.
Standard Features
The solatronic control box monitors all key areas of sowing including; forward speed, area sown, fan speed, hopper level and tramline management.
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 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 turing the wheel and collecting the metered seed.
All 799 drills feature two rows of adjustable angel spring tines. The tines are located in front of the Elite tine coulters to level an firm prior to sowing. The angle of the leveling tines can be easily adjusted using the tool supplied.
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.
KRM Elite Coulter
Elite tine coulters are mounted in three rows 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.

799 Solo

As a solo drill the 799 is available in 4, 4.5, 4.8, 5, and 6m widths. Even in wider widths the compact design of the solo 799 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 PTO drive fan however hydraulic fan drive can be specified to further reduce fuel usage.
   

799 Front Cultivator

Allowing two operations to be performed in one pass a front cultivator can be specified on 4, 4.5 and 4.8m 799 drills. The cultivator has a row of ripper tines followed by a row of arrow head tines to provide initial loosening and mixing. With this system the cultivator can be removed when not required. The 4.8m drill pictured has also been specified with a fourth row of coulters providing extra stagger.
 

799 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 tines to provide a level and firm tilth prior to sowing. Suitable for use in a wide range of conditions including heavy, wet soils and Min-Till incorporated seed beds.
