Seeders SD3001CMP

The range of Kubota SD3001MP as power harrow mounted seed drill allows seedbed preparation, consolidation and sowing in one pass. Within this product group, the SD3001CMP is the combined grain and fertiliser model.

The SD3001CMP is able to apply two sorts in one pass. It can be two types of seeds or seed and fertiliser or a combination with e.g. slug pellets or only one type of seed.

The hopper can be divided into an adjustable hopper ratio of 60:40, 70:30 or 100:0 with two independently working metering devices ELDOS positioned either side. The full hopper volume can be used when sowing one sort of seed only. With the double entry CX-II coulter the seeds/fertiliser is laid precise in the seeding row in just one pass.

The SD3001CMP is, thus, especially adapted to the needs of the European markets where a growing proportion of cereal is sown in spring and the application of a mixture of different seeds in one step is requested.

In order to balance the shorter vegetation phase, the phosphoric fertiliser application supports the initial germination and development of the plants in the most efficient way.

In trials of spring sown crops, yields have shown increases up to 25% compared to crops where the fertiliser has been applied by other methods.

As an option for an even further extended scope of application, Kubota has integrated the well-known SH200 onto the SD3001CMP. This extra seeder with separate hopper and metering device will allow applying an additional sort of seeds/fertiliser.

Advantages:

• Close centre of gravity for reduced lifting power requirement
• Easily accessible metering device ELDOS
• Increased flexibility
• Stronger crops by supported initial germination
