Flexible front-mounted hopper for both conventional and precision sowing

The Kverneland DF-1 front mounted hopper ensures even weight distribution across the machine arrangement providing the maximum balance.  Thee front-mounted position of the hopper, improves both safety, manoeuvrability and gives an unrestricted view over the machine set-up.

The Kverneland DF-1 and DF-2 are more flexible than conventional seed drills and can be used for both conventional and precision sowing. For precision sowing, the front-mounted hopper is fitted with special metering devices and the appropriate distribution head for row fertilising.

The front hopper has a mechanical drive and central metering device as standard. As an option, the DF-1 hopper can be equipped with the electric-driven metering device ELDOS.  

The Kverneland DF-1 seeder comes with a standard hopper capacity of 1150 litres, but can be increased to 1700 litres. The hopper can be filled using Big Bags, a front loader or an auger. An easily accessible, foldable platform at the hopper is available as an option to allow manual filling if required.  A large emptying chute directly above the metering device allows quick removal of leftover seed. 

The Advantages of Kverneland DF-1:

• Balanced weight distribution
• Improved safety and manoeuvrability
• Unrestricted rear view
• To be used for row fertilizing in combination with a precision seed drill
