2024 Kuhn Premia Series Seed Drills 3500

KUHN Premia mounted seed drills provide high-quality results with seeding units for mixed soil types and a covering harrow designed to work under variable conditions.

KUHN Premia seed drills give users the possibility of working alone or in combination with a power harrow, reducing the number of passes over a field. KUHN engineers have paid special attention to easy adjustments and simple access to adjustment points.

The Premia has been recognized for its application rate and precision. Its well-designed hopper has a wide opening for easy filling and cleaning. The flow rate can quickly be checked with the machine on the ground or without being hitched to a tractor through simple and easy-to-access adjustment points. An additional grass box, which also has a wide opening for easy filling, can be added for drilling small seeds.

Features may include:

Fluted Rollers

The volumetric seed metering by fluted rollers, with built-in small seed rollers, is suitable for all seed sizes and shapes. The helical grooves dose applications rates from 1 – 400 lbs/acre. This distribution system is accurate and reliable throughout the whole operation. It provides regular seeding rates and distribution in the row even on slopes or uneven ground and is unaffected by vibrations. The Premia metering system is controlled by the seed drill’s two wheels via a 6-cam selector. This ensures reliable control and a regular flow through uniform rotation for small seeds with according low application.

The small angle of the single disc reduces soil movement and the cast iron seeding tip, positioned in line with the disc, both cleans the disc and precisely positions the seed in the furrow. The disc shape ensures penetration into the soil maintaining accurate seeding depth.

A half-width shut-off disengages the left half of the seed drill, if it is necessary to seed with half width along field borders.

Easy Adjustments

The flow test is particularly easy to conduct. The seed bar tilts via a parallelogram, making a large area available for the collection bucket.

Flow rate can be checked with the machines on the ground, or even without being hitched to the tractor. Simply flip a lever for maximum access to carry out the calibration or for emptying the hopper. Afterwards, set the opening by a micrometric screw and carry out the number of turns required.

A big advantage for combined seeding in mixed soil: The adjustable low stop (by a rotating handle) determines the maximum seeding depth. It enables work to take place at high pressure while avoiding to seed too deep in areas where the soil is easy to penetrate.

The covering harrows with tines are adjustable to provide high efficiency operation and consistent seed cover in a variety of soil types and field conditions.

Easy to Load, Easy to Empty

To allow for easy loading, the hopper cover opens more than 90 degrees, assisted by gas struts. That means easy filling from a bucket or big bag. The V-shaped bottom of the hopper and oscillating agitator ensure uniform flow to the metering units and a lower residual quantity at the end of the day.
