Solitair DT --- Solitair DT/400 OptiDisc M 125
Solitair DT
- Working width from 4 m to 9 m
- Container volume from 3,400 L to 5,100 L
- Transport speed up to 40 km/h
Efficient & light-weight
Incredibly easy to tow, integrated compact disc harrow, comfortable operation and a large, optionally divided seed hopper – that is LEMKEN’s new Solitair DT seed drill, available in working widths of 4 and 6 metres.
Greatest possible efficiency with up to nine metres working width and maximum precision – these were the maxims set for designing the Solitair DT. The result is a drill combination with truly impressive performance: lighter, more efficient, better.
Solitair DT highlights
Preparation is everything
Reliable levelling
The wheelmark eradicator tools remove the tractor wheelmarks. The optional leading tyre packer additionally produces crumbled soil ahead of the disc section. The tyre packer can be replaced by a levelling tine section to level the ground evenly.
Can be optimally adjusted to the tyre width and penetration depth, regardless of the working depth of the Heliodor section. The iQ drill control with integrated headland management takes care of the raising and lowering processes at the headland.
For crumbling and levelling the seedbed and for reconsolidation ahead of the disc section.
Reliably level any unevenness when used on ploughed land and can be easily adjusted from the tractor seat. For the best possible work results, the levelling tines can be used in grade or drag position.
Always the right option
Optimal seedbed preparation
The integrated Heliodor compact disc harrow leaves an evenly loosened, finely crumbly, level seedbed. Corrugated discs are optionally available for less intensive seedbed preparation.
For precise depth control each disc is individually attached to the frame via leaf springs for precise depth control. Unlike commonly used rubber buffers, leaf springs guarantee that the discs have significantly higher track stability during operation. Optionally, these are also available with hydraulic adjustment.
With a diameter of 465 mm and a thickness of 5 mm, these ensure good penetration into the soil, even in the most difficult conditions.
For less intensive soil mixing, the 22-mm corrugated discs have a waveform shape. These discs are particularly suitable where the germination of weeds is to be suppressed. In dry regions, corrugated discs allow water- saving seedbed preparation because only the area in front of the seeding coulters is loosened. The use of corrugated discs reduces tractive force requirements even further.
The high-quality axial angular ball bearings ensure lasting, flawless function of the discs. The bearings are completely encapsulated so that no dirt can penetrate.
A better start for your crops
Precise fertiliser placement
The fertiliser coulter bar can be attached in front of the tyre packer roller on request. Fertiliser is precisely placed at the desired depth between two rows of seeds with up to 150 kg share pressure via the double disc coulters.
The Solitair DT can be used for seeding with fertilisation or for sowing different seeds. The catch crop/granulate spreader MultiHub can be fully integrated into the user interface as an additional seeding line and enables the placement of a third component. The two variants single-shot and double-shot are available.
The fertiliser coulter bar is located in front of the tyre packer roller. Fertiliser is precisely placed at the desired depth with up to 150 kg share pressure via the double disc coulters (400 mm diameter). The depth at which the fertiliser is placed is adjusted via clips on the hydraulic cylinder. When seeding without under-root fertilisation, the fertiliser bar remains in the elevated position in order to protect the fertiliser coulters against wear.
Flexible adjustment: For optimal placement of two different types of seeds or for simultaneous inter-row fertilisation, the drilling depth can be adjusted via the fertiliser coulter bar.
Single-shot: The fertiliser and seeds or two types of seeds are placed in a shared seed furrow.
The double-shot version places the fertiliser or second type of seeds in a line below the seedbed via separate double disc coulters.
In this version, the fertilizer coulter is used to apply one component, which can be either fertilizer or seed. Up to two additional components are applied via the OptiDisc seeding bar.
In this version, a component can be distributed via a second distributor head. In this design, the seed can also be deposited alternately.
As an option, the component can also be distributed from the MultiHub via baffle plates on the soil surface.
Prepares the bed for your seeds
Optimal reconsolidation
The tyre packer roller not only serves a transport function but also ensures that the entire seedbed is reconsolidated evenly. A trapeze packer roller can be optionally used for row preconsolidation.
The generously dimensioned tyre packer roller with a 90-cm diameter ensures even reconsolidation across the full seedbed. The staggered arrangement of the individual wheels additionally leads to better self-cleaning and ensures good sowing, even in wet conditions.
With an additional harrow between the tyre packer roller and the seeding coulters, the seedbed can be optimally levelled.
As an alternative to a harrow, a trapeze packer roller (420 mm diameter) can be added to the Solitair DT to obtain a defined pre-consolidation of rows directly in front of the OptiDisc double disc coulters. The roller improves both the smooth operation of the seeding coulters and the soil contact of seeds.
Precise seeding
The maintenance-free parallelogramguided double disc coulter with trailing depth control roller in the OptiDisc coulter bar guarantees precise seed placement and even coverage height. This creates optimal conditions for even field emergence – even at high forward speeds.
Convenient filling
Whether straight from a big bag or from a front loader bucket – filling the Solitair DT is as straightforward as it gets. Never lose even a single grain or granule again!
Precise metering
The Solitair DT offers, among other things, individually electrically driven and fertilizer-proof metering units and the tool-free change of seed wheel sets.
For more comfort and flexibility
From machine control to data collection and processing, LEMKEN iQblue guarantees ease of use. iQblue digital solutions make your field work more efficient and speed up your office work. This gives you more time to do the important work.
Control concept iQblue drill
iQblue drill is the ISOBUS-based control concept for the Solitair DT. Thanks to the uniform LEMKEN design, drivers quickly find their way around.
