Agriculture is subject to continuous change and needs to adapt to new chal- lenges all the time. The extensive drought experienced in recent years has affected soils, and water is becoming a more and more precious resource as a result. That’s why it is even more important to find new alternatives and solutions for cultivating agricultural land sustainably
Koralin 9
The new LEMKEN hybrid cultivator Koralin 9 protects the soil from erosion and maintains soil moisture. It combines the advantages of both a disc harrow and a cultivator and is ideal for full area, ultra shallow soil cultivation. This way you protect your soil and can look forward to a perfect result after work.
The cultivation of catch crops revitalises soils and can effectively reduce soil erosion induced by water and wind, especially in areas prone to erosion. Shallow, full-width tillage with the Koralin 9 reliably undercuts catch crops in spring. As they then stop drawing water from the soil, essential moisture is retained in the soil.
Optimal crop development
Right after the harvest is the time for preparing a basis from which the next crop can develop optimally. The Koralin 9 cuts stubble both vertically and horizontally across the full working width to promote rapid microbiological decomposition. At the same time, it incorporates harvest residue at a very shallow depth. This encourages the even emergence of weed seeds and volunteer cereals while also reducing evaporation. As a result, water in the soil is retained for catch crops.
Stubble tillage
The Koralin 9 is also ideal for stubble tillage in a second pass. Emerged volunteer cereals and rapeseed are undercut at a shallow depth and distributed evenly in the soil to promote optimal natural decomposition. Trailing harrow tines move the finer roots to the surface. This causes volunteer cereals, rapeseed and weeds to dry out and therefore ensures effective control. The risk of blockage is reduced thanks to the clever combination of cultivation tools operating horizontally and vertically. The leading discs make it easier for the tines to penetrate the soil and therefore reduce traction requirements for the tractor.
The tank has a capacity of 5,800 litres, allowing up to 60 hectares to be worked per day.
The Solitair 12 SW is easily filled from a telehandler, big bags or transfer auger to deliver maximum flexibility.
A powerful electric motor drives and controls two seeding shafts with four cellular rotors each. These shafts dispense fertiliser at precisely the set rate even at high forward speeds. An electro-hydraulic width section control can be integrated upon request.
The Solitair 12 SW features ISOBUS as standard. When using a CCI 1200 terminal, both implements, i.e. the Azurit and Solitair 12 SW, can be displayed and controlled simultaneously via the terminal.
Ease of road transport is essential if implements are to be deployed safely and rapidly on fields. With a transport height of 4.0 metres and a transport width of 3.0 metres, depending on the version, the Koralin 9 is easy to transport and complies with all requirements.
