Description
The Kverneland Optima is the universal precision drill for different type of seeds and is ready for mulch or conventional sowing. Within this product group, the Optima TFprofi is featuring a trailed hydraulic folding frame in working width of 6m (6.4), presenting the perfect combination of most precise seed placement, high performance and reduced tractor power requirement of 90hp only.
The Optima TFprofi is fitted with HD-II. The optional fertiliser hopper of 2,000l can easily be filled by a front loader, big bags or as an option by filling auger. Different fertiliser coulters are available. As an option the fertiliser application can be driven electro-hydraulically. The combination with an iXtra LiFe allows the application of liquid fertiliser during seeding.
Kverneland Optima precision planter – accurate seed placement for every soil condition
The Kverneland Optima precision planter is designed to deliver accurate seed placement, ensuring maximum crop emergence and yield. Its advanced sowing units follow the ground contour perfectly, while the coulter forms a clean furrow for excellent seed-to-soil contact. The result: uniform crop establishment, consistent growth, and plant development.
Universal HD-II sowing row - built for all soil conditions
The Optima TFprofi is equipped with the universal HD-II row unit, making it suitable for a wide range for farming systems and soil types.
- Works on light to heavy soils
- Compatible with conventional and mulch seeding
- Provides optimal depth control even in extreme conditions
- Ensures effective ground contour following and precision seed placement
- Supplied with a 60 L seed hopper (optional 30 L available)
This versatility makes the Kverneland Optima an ideal row crop planter for maize, corn, sunflower, sugar beet and other precision crops.
ISOBUS Technology for Smarter Farming
Modern agriculture demands more than just seed placement, it requires efficiency, cost savings, sustainability and precision farming tools.
The Optima e-drive II with ISOBUS connectivity integrates seamlessly with the Kverneland Tellus terminal. Using GPS and GEOCONTROL, each seeding element is automatically switched on or off at exactly the right moment. This eliminates overlaps and skips, ensuring every seed is placed with maximum accuracy.
With GEOSEED technology, seeds are positioned not only in-line but also in relation to each other across the full working width. This precise synchronization promotes uniform plant development and higher overall yield potential.
Features
Features
For mulch and conventional sowing
- Optimal depth control even under extreme conditions, due to the heavy basic weight of the sowing unit with the possibility to add additional pressure (up to 100kg) onto each individual sowing unit via the spring-loaded system.
- Effective ground contour following, due to the large lateral depth control by open gauge wheels (Ø410mm, width 120mm).
- Precise seed placement by the small coulter which forms a clean furrow. Optional with quick-fit coulter tip to quickly exchange between standard layout for maize and the XHD coulter tip for sugar beet. Light re-compaction and seed covering is done by the intermediate press wheel (as option: heavy stainless steel) and the multi-adjustable V-press wheel – to ensure maximum field emergence.
Seeding heart without seals for HD-II
- The patented seeding heart by Kverneland has reduced maintenance costs to a minimum.
- No friction, no wear, low drive torque, minimum maintenance: The seed disc rotates in the seeding heart together with the vacuum chamber. This seeding drum is connected to the vacuum fan via a hollow shaft.
- This seed heart principal results in no loss of vacuum, and therefore a low vacuum requirement
- Stable design, modular system, low maintenance costs, high degree of wear resistance and optimum depth placement.
- For fertiliser placement Kverneland supplies hoppers for different applications.
- The chain drive for metering can be adjusted from 106 to 390kg per hectare at a distance between rows of 75cm.
- The fertiliser applicator is driven centrally by an easily accessible side mounted gear box.
- Fertilising coulter, standard seeding with narrow coulter design and stable, reliable construction, coil spring protection from sideways forces
- Mulch seeding notched double-disc coulter for blockage-free and precise fertiliser placement by a Ø 350mm notched double-disc Coulter.
GEOCONTROL - Cost saving with immediate payback
Seeding with GPS and GEOCONTROL in combination with an electric driven precision drill is a major step towards precision and cost saving. These machines are all equipped with ISOBUS technology which with the help of the IsoMatch Tellus terminal, can be easily controlled.
Each electric driven seeding element, in combination with GPS and GEOCONTROL, is automatically switched on or off in exactly the right place, ensuring there is no overlap with any row that has already been seeded. This is especially handy in triangular fields, on curved or irregular shaped headlands.
GEOSEED - Precision at high end
GEOSEED is the precise synchronization of seed placement across the full working width of the machine. This ensures that seeds are distributed evenly, achieving an optimal pattern—either parallel or diamond-shaped—across the soil surface. The positive effects of this technology are far-reaching. By enhancing seed distribution, GEOSEED maximizes the efficient use of key resources such as nutrients, water, and sunlight, fostering optimal plant growth. Additionally, this uniform planting pattern helps reduce the risks of wind and water erosion, as the even distribution of plants improves soil structure and coverage, leading to better water retention and minimizing soil degradation.
Kverneland Sync – The Implement Gateway
Always Connected – Easy and Direct
With Kverneland Sync, your seeder is continuously connected to Kverneland’s online services. Designed for efficiency and ease, Kverneland Sync ensures seamless data transfer to IsoMatch FarmCentre and Kverneland ServiceCentre, optimizing your seeder's connectivity for better machine management.
Remote Service – Minimize Downtime
Kverneland Sync offers remote diagnostics, allowing technicians to quickly analyze and address electronic issues on your seeder from a distance via the Kverneland ServiceCentre. This feature helps to minimize downtime in the event of a breakdown. See how it works: Always connected
Task Management – Enhance Reporting and Transparency
Kverneland Sync provides all relevant data in IsoMatch FarmCentre, our integrated farm management platform, enabling real-time tracking, performance measurement, and secure data storage. This is especially useful for machine cooperatives, streamlining logistics and invoicing. Additionally, Kverneland Sync enables geofencing to help protect your seeder against theft, with an accumulator that allows you to locate your planter even when it’s not connected to a tractor.
Micro-drill for Optima HD-II and SX sowing units
The demand for microgranule applicators is increasing. Micro nutrients and also small amounts of insecticides or fungicides ensure the best start of the crop.
The electric driven micro-drills for the Optima HD-II and SX sowing units have been designed as backpack behind the sowing units and offer a hopper capacity of 17 liters.
They are electrically driven and ISOBUS controlled. The metering device consists of a wear-resistant plastic housing with exchangeable cell wheels made of stainless steel. This ensures the precise metering of the micro granules.
Operator’s safety
The engineers had focus on highest level of operator’s safety by offering easy and safe handling of the applicator. Therefore, the operator can exchange the cell wheels even when the hoppers are full of micro granule. There is no need to empty them first, reducing the operator’s risk of getting in direct contact with the granules.
A plus for the environment
The micro granules fall freely into the seed furrow without any air support, minimising the emission of dust. Therefore, the new micro-drill fully complies with the current guidelines for emission control of any granules applied.
Precision Farming
The comfortable, fully ISOBUS integrated control system allows the adaption to the stop and starting points of the seed row. This ensures precise shutting on and off at the end of the field and in tramlines (without overlaps or faults).
