The latest Solitair MR drill and Zirkon power harrow combination from Lemken is available in working widths of 3m and 4m.
Base capacity is 1,500 litres, with the option to increase this to 2,000 litres, which can be split 60:40 for seed and fertiliser application. The company’s 200-litre MultiHub can also be specified, enabling a third product to be applied either through the existing seed lines or via a baffle plate.
The maintenance-free OptiDisc coulter bar is available with spacings of either 12.5cm or 15cm, with parallelogram-guided double disc coulters and depth control rollers.
It’s available with either hydraulic pressure adjustment, providing up to 70kg, or mechanical adjustment, up to 45kg. Both the downward pressure and the seed depth can be changed independently of each other.
Two metering systems are fitted as standard, supplying the distributor heads which are mounted above the coulter bar. This means that even the standard drill can provide half-width shut-off, with the option of a hydraulic tramlining function which can be linked to the iQblue system.
When applying multiple products, customers can opt for the double-shot version which doubles the number of metering units.
The right harrow
When used in combination with the new generation Zirkon MR, the Solitair is mounted on the roller, with a new mounting system to ensure that the harrow and drill depths can be changed independently.
The combination is approved for tractors up to 240hp and will go into full production next year.
