Kverneland F Drill Compact / Maxi

ELDOS is an electrically driven metering device for Kverneland pneumatic seed drills, controlled via e-com software with full ISOBUS compatibility. With GEOCONTROL, the system automatically starts and stops to prevent overlap or missed areas, even in irregular fields. Sensors ensure full functionality from the cab.

Calibration is automatic, and interchangeable rotors can be changed without tools, even when the hopper is full. Sensors also detect incorrect rotor installation.

The f-drill can be equipped with one or two ELDOS units for higher application rates or dual products such as seed and fertiliser.

Based on the Venturi principle, the system ensures accurate dosing and consistent performance at all application rates.

For all kind of combinations and applications in various working widths

A wide range of fine to larger seeds and fertiliser can be applied.
It allows seeding and fertilising in one pass
It allows the combined application of seeds and companion crops
In spring the Kverneland f-drill can be used as a fertiliser hopper with the Optima F or with the Kultistrip for strip tillage. When joined with a power harrow drill combination such as the Kverneland e-drill, the f-drill can be used as an additional seed hopper for sowing companion or spring crops.
In summer and autumn, the hopper can be combined with the power harrow range and coulter bars to have a compact combination from 3.0 up to 6.0m working width.

The f-drill features a modern plastic design that ensures low maintenance and long service life, even when handling corrosive materials such as fertiliser.

Front hoppers are available in two sizes, with capacities of 1600 L for the compact and up to 2200 L for the maxi version. The standard model includes one ELDOS metering unit for either seed or fertiliser.

The duo version uses two ELDOS units to achieve higher application rates up to 400 kg/ha. The plus model features a split hopper with a 60:40 ratio, allowing application of two seed types or seed and fertiliser in one pass, increasing flexibility and efficiency.

Easy filling and lifting

• The large hopper capacity of up to 2,200 litres reduces the set-up time
• The hopper covers open sidewise and lock automatically supported by gas cylinder
• The hopper made from plastic can easily be filled using e.g. big bags, a front loader or a telescopic handler
• The parking wheels are available for quick and easy storage. The f-drill can easily be hitched. There is no PTO shaft needed
• Pipes installed on the side of the cab convey the seed or fertiliser to the coulters by an air stream

• The dissolved structure of the Kverneland f-drill ensures an even weight distribution across the machine arrangement, giving the tractor the best balance at maximum capacity
• This improves both safety and manoeuvrability whilst at the same time giving the driver an unrestricted view over the entire machine set-up
• The wheel packer with lifting function relieves the load on the front axle while maintaining good steering ability
• The packer is self-steering and pull-attached which reduce power requirement and fuel consumption. In addition it also avoids the bulldozing effect
• Especially in wet periods, the dissolved design with its better weight distribution reduces the impact on the soil structure
