Kuhn CCX 9000 cover crop seed drill

The KUHN Krause CCX 9000 cover crop seed drill is an indispensable field assistant for farmers looking to optimize time and save money. This seed drill is used on Excelerator models with working widths from 11 to 34 inches, enabling cover crops to be sown simultaneously with vertical tillage.

Cover crops play an important role in agriculture by capturing nutrients, limiting soil erosion, improving soil structure and preventing weeds. However, sowing cover crops after harvesting can be a challenge, but the Kuhn CCX 9000 makes this process more efficient and easier. Pay attention to the spare parts for the Kuhn seeder on our website bas.ua with spare parts for agricultural machinery.

Quantron S-2

The Quantron S-2 terminal with its 5-inch color touchscreen plays a key role in controlling all aspects of the CCX 9000. The operator can easily configure parameters, enter metric units as desired, and quickly complete the calibration process. This terminal helps the operator to determine the seed type, target calibration rate and travel speed, and provides settings for the metering unit.

Seed metering

The electrically driven metering unit, equipped with a unique dual spline system, makes the process of sowing small and large seeds easy and efficient. The use of slots for small seeds reduces the volume of the metering unit at low seed rates, and the Quantron S-2 informs the operator when it is necessary to use them during calibration.

The 21, 34 or 45 cubic foot hopper that feeds the electrically driven metering unit ensures a constant seed rate regardless of changes in tractor speed. The implement switch automatically adjusts the metering unit when the Excelerator® is started or stopped.

When used in conjunction with the KUHN Krause Excelerator®, the KUHN Krause CCX 9000 cover crop drills enable farmers to sow cover crops efficiently while ensuring optimal soil tillage for further crop residue management and preparation for natural decomposition in winter.
 

Seed distribution system

The seed distribution system of the KUHN Krause CCX 9000 uses an advanced pneumatic device to precisely place the seed between the slides. This mechanism ensures that the seed is perfectly distributed across the width of the machine, providing an optimal start for the new crop.

The outlet hoses, located between the Star Wheel™ rotary hoes and the 24/7® Excelerator® drum packers, play a key role in ensuring the system's efficiency. The easily adjustable diffuser angle allows you to change the direction of seed distribution without the need for additional tools.

A special feature of this system is the ability to direct the diffusers forward to the rotary hoes for deeper seed placement or backward to the drum packer for shallower placement. This flexible approach allows for the requirements of a particular crop and soil conditions to be taken into account, ensuring optimal seed placement.

An important element of the system is the hydraulically driven fan, which is controlled by adjusting the oil flow from the tractor. This allows you to adjust the fan speed depending on the type of seed, providing optimal conditions for each crop.

One of the key advantages of this system is the ability to adjust the angle of the diffuser without the use of tools. The operator can easily move the diffusers forward for deeper seed placement or backward for shallower depth, quickly adapting the system to changing field conditions.
