COMBILINER SITERA 3000 3500 4000THE VERSATILEMECHANICAL DRILL COMBINATIONHOW TO SEED PRECISELY ANDFAST IN ALL CONDITIONSThe COMBILINER SITERA is noted for its exceptionalversatility! It works efficiently on ploughed or min-tilledland, equipped with the SEEDFLEX coulter bar forhigh-quality seeding under any circumstances.UNIFORM APPLICATION RATES ISWHAT YOU EXPECTThe volumetric fluted metering system, which isinsensitive to vibrations, doses accurately from1.5 to 450 kg.LOOKING FOR AN INCREASEDUSER COMFORTWith its central working depth adjustment, itsguidance by the harrow roller and electronic seedmonitoring options, the COMBILINER SITERA seeddrills are comfortable to use.KUHN´sCOMBILINERSITERAseed drill seriesin brief:Working width(m/ft)Numberof rowsHoppercapacity (l)SITERA 3000 3.00/9´10´´ 20 or 24780 (1080with extension)SITERA 35003.43 or 3.38/11´3´´ or 11´1´´24 or 27900 (1250with extension)SITERA 4000 4.00/13´ 28 or 321080 (1480with extension)3

Improved penetration inall soils:- high offset of the double discsfor clean furrow opening- small disc opening angleto avoid soil spraying and tofacilitate furrow closingEXCLUSIVE3. Easier passage inclayey soil and in thepresence of plant debris:big offset of 35 cm betweenthe two coulter bars4. Promoting good soil/seed contact:Depth control/press wheels rowby row to control seeding depthand to ensure dynamicgermination of the seeds5

DISTRIBUTION ALWAYS UNDER CONTROLFluted seed metering is KUHN´s answer to yourquestion on how to ensure a precise and regularapplication rate. With this proven volumetricsystem, you will be satisfied also whenworking on slopes or on uneven terrain.VOLUMETRIC FLUTING FOR VERSATILE SEEDSThis distribution system is accurate and reliablethroughout the seeding campaign. The volumetricfluting doses from 1.5 to 450 kg, no matterthe relief, the charging level of the hopper or theworking speed. Insensitive to vibrations,it respects all sizes and shapes of seeds. Forsmall seeds, an extra roller for fine seeds isintegrated.Oct 13 Work qualityDLG FOKUS TEST:HELICA HAS ALSO CONVINCED INTHE TEST STANDThe applied seeding rates correspond to almost 100 % with thecalibrated rates, the lateral distribution also doesn´t leave much todesire.Test criterionDeviation of applied fromcalibrated application rate (wheat)Lateral distribution (wheat)Deviation of applied fromcalibrated application rate (barley)Lateral distribution (barley)Deviation of applied fromcalibrated application rate (rape)Lateral distribution (rape)Test resultlow to very lowgood to very goodvery lowgoodvery lowvery good6Rape Wheat Fava beansTest stand results for wheat, barley and rape: accuracy of application, lateral distribution;source: DLG Test Report, Oct. 2013.

RELIABLE DRIVE FOR ALL APPLICATION RATESApplication rate reliability is ensured by a six-cam selectorwhich controls the fluting accurately and evenly.WORK QUALITYAPPLICATION RATE RESPECTEDACCURATELY- The application rate is adjusted via a single micrometric screw,which sets the size of flute opening.Result: accurate adjustment for a constant seed application rate.- The metering uniformity of small seed amounts, for example in thecase of rape, is improved by using the built-in «small seed» fluting.- With the COMBILINER SITERA, you change the seeds in a flash,without having to handle the distribution.COMFORTOPT FOR SIMPLICITY AND COMFORT!1. HYDRAULIC ADJUSTMENTThis is a very simple and economical solution for application rateadjustment.Depending on the cylinder’s attachment to the console,you can choose adjustment steps between +10 % and +20 %.2. ELECTRONIC ADJUSTMENTApplication rates can also be adjusted during operation anddirectly from the cab. The QUANTRON S-V box controls and guidesan electric cylinder which controls the selector.1 27

COMFORTA SEED DRILLGUIDED BYTHE ROLLEROn COMBILINER SITERA seed drills the coulter bar is fully guided bythe roller. This is a big advantage, if a regular seeding operation is youraim. Stability and ground-hugging are optimized in stony conditions.The power harrow can easily be disengaged when meeting obstacles.1. SIMPLIFIED ADJUSTMENTSThere is no need to readjust the coulter bar setting when changing the harrow’s working depth,since the two are completely independent of each other.2. USE THE POWER HARROW SOLOThe seed drill is rapidly removable from the power harrow,if you need to do a solo tillage passage.1This is how the dlz, a leading German agricultural journal, rates the COMBILINERSITERA 3000 after a 100 ha field test:82AttachmentSeed hopper and loadingElectronic controlOperational comfort and adjustmentsWork qualityMaintenancePower harrowSource: dlz agrarmagazin, issue October 2013, p. 66-72.

Easy modifications for ideal seeding control!

MORE USEFUL EQUIPMENTEASY MANOEUVRING THANKSTO HYDRAULIC TOP LINKThis hydraulic top link, provided as standard,reduces the overhang during transport andmanoeuvring. Your advantages in practice:- more clearance for headland turns;- the coulter bar can be lifted when passingthrough areas to be tilled but not seeded.ACCURATE MARKING IN THE FIELDSide markers fixed to the power harrow are available. Their vertical lift reduces dimensionswhen working on headland and facilitates access to the hopper for loading operations.Pre-emergence markers are also available. They are controlled automatically and can be foldedup when not in use.SpecificationsSITERA 3000 SITERA 3500 SITERA 4000Working width (m/ft) 3.00/9’10’’ 3.43/11´3´´ 3.38/11´1´´ 4.00/13’Number of rows 20 24 24 27 28 32Spacing (cm/in) 15 12.5 14.3 12.5 14.3 12.5Hopper capacity, approx.
