Lemken has expanded its range of pneumatic seed drills with the Solitair 23 front tank. This new hopper for seed or fertiliser can be used in many different ways for soil cultivation and sowing in combination with a variety of Lemken machines.
The Solitair 23 complements the Azurit single-seed drill for under-root fertilisation, and it can be used for sowing rapeseed and cereals in conjunction with a power harrow and mounted coulter bar. Additional applications include simultaneous fertilisation when working with a seed drill, catch-crop cultivation and application of basal dressing in soil cultivation.
The Solitair 23 is designed as an injector front tank. A pressure system is optionally available. It allows seeds or fertiliser of up to 500kg/ha to be easily metered, even across large conveyor distances. Thanks to the advanced metering system, the Solitair 23 has a large 1,900 litre tank, despite having a low overall height. Four metering units ensure the precise supply of seeds or fertiliser. Optional tank weigh cells provide operators with up-to-date information about current tank levels and application rates.
Seeds and fertiliser are transported to the distributors located on the combination implements via hoses routed underneath the tractor; alternatively, hoses can be routed on the tractor side. Connectors are also available with quick-coupling systems to minimise set-up times. This allows easy coupling to a wide range of cultivation implements.
The sophisticated, compact plastic tank design preserves excellent forward visibility. The tank can be comfortably filled via a wide inlet and filling aids. The Solitair 23 can be combined with a front tyre furrow press or modular weights to optimise the balance of the tractor/implement combination.
