SIMA 2009: New min-till drill combination from Kongskilde

Designed for minimum tillage operations, the Vibro Seeder cultivator drill combination from Kongskilde combines a Nordsten drill alongside either a mounted or trailed Kongskilde cultivator frame.
With working widths of 4 to 8m – operators are able to adjust the tine pattern to suit the particular crop and each row has a distance of 150mm, meaning blockages are reduced. Prices start from €42,000.
As well as the Vibro Seeder, Kongskilde launched a new mounted compact disc cultivator for shallow seedbed preparation. Consisting of two rows of hydraulically adjustable 460mm serrated discs, the Terra D is available in three working widths: a 3m fixed frame version and 4 and 6m hydraulically foldable with a 3m transport width. Because the four discs in each section are attached to the main frame by the company’s heavy duty spring arrangement, speeds of between 8 and 12km are optimal, and the working angle of discs can be altered hydraulically.
