Precision drilling is done within a very tight time window, and solutions that deliver extra efficiency are in high demand. Lemken, therefore, has now launched the Solitair 12 SW seed trailer for holding fertiliser when working with the Azurit single-seed drill on large farms. The hopper has a capacity of 5,800 litres, allowing daily acreage performances of up to 60ha.
The Solitair 12 SW is easily filled using a telescopic loader, big bags or a loading auger, and adds yet another possible combination to the Lemken Azurit drill range that’s particularly useful for large areas. The precision seed drill is coupled directly to the hopper via a standard three-point coupling, without a leading soil cultivation implement. The Azurit itself can also be used in a number of other combinations.
A powerful electric motor drives and controls two seeding shafts, each with four cellular rotors. These shafts dispense fertiliser at precisely the set rate to the Azurit fertiliser coulters, even at high forward speeds. An electro-hydraulic part width section control can be integrated upon request. The hydraulically driven fan provides a constant flow of air, which carries fertiliser evenly to the outermost seed rows.
The Solitair 12SW features ISObus as standard. When using a CCI 1200 terminal, both implements can be displayed and controlled simultaneously.
The new seed trailer will be available from autumn 2019.
