Favourable and precise

The Solitair 8+ pneumatic with working widths from 3 to 4 metres are combinable with the Zirkon 12 power harrow or Heliodor compact disc harrows and can be used for many tillage methods. The proven double disc coulter with depth control wheel ensures precise seed placement. With the mechanical drive of the metering system it is ideal for small and medium-sized farms that want to utilise precise pneumatic seeding technology at reduced cost.

The highlights of the Solitair 8+

The hopper

The Solitair 8+ is available with a volume of 1,450 or 1,850 litres. The funnel-shaped hopper leaves only small technical residues. The easy access and large opening facilitate filling and inspection.

Everything for precise sowing

The drive, metering system, seed distributor and double disc coulters are easy to adjust and optimally coordinated for perfect placement quality.

The mechanical drive

The metering system is driven by a star wheel and a maintenance-free cardan shaft.

• This ensures a smooth drive of the cell wheels in the metering unit.
• The star wheel runs within the working width of the device and thus always ensures an even drive.
• After work, the star wheel can be folded in without tools using a handle.

The EcoDrill control unit

With the EcoDrill control on the LET-40 terminal, the Solitair 8+ can be easily set and operated during work. The clear layout means that all important parameters are always in view.

• Detailed calibration aids in the EcoDrill control unit make other aids superfluous.
• The LET-40 terminal can be plugged in at the back of the Solitair 8+ for calibration, which makes the calibration test much easier.

Flexible seedbed preparation

Solitair 8+ can be used with both the Heliodor compact disc harrow and the Zirkon power harrow.  This means that the seedbed preparation can always be perfectly matched to the primary soil cultivation.

The transmission

The continuously variable oil bath transmission allows seeding rates to be set precisely between 0.5 and 500 kg/ha. It covers the entire working width - without additional adjustment in the drive area.

• The fine scale graduation from 0 to 150 guarantees the necessary precision.
• The seeding shaft operates smoothly to ensure accurate longitudinal distribution of the seeds. This is particularly important when working with small seeding rates and a slowly rotating seeding shaft.
