Seeding bars BTF - BTFR

BTF seeding bar Silhouette

From versatility to autonomy

The BTF and BTFR seeding bars, with a working width of 3 to 6 m, are equipped with SEEDFLEX seeding units for precise sowing. Coupled with a KUHN power harrow and the TF 1512 front hopper, they offer a balanced and efficient combination as well as great autonomy.

Rigid BTF and folding BTFR seeding bars are fitted with SEEDFLEX seeding units with offset double discs mounted on a parallelogram for precise seeding even at high speed. Combined with the TF 1512 front hopper and a KUHN power harrow, they offer a balanced and high-performance combination allowing to perform work both after plowing and on min-tilled land. With a capacity of 1,500 liters (2,000 liters with optional extension) and a working width of 3 to 6 metres, this seeding combination has great autonomy and optimum work speed.

A concentrate of reliability and precision to demand quality seeding

Choose the SEEDFLEX seeding units for precision

These seeding bars are equipped with SEEDFLEX seeding units featuring double discs offset by 41 mm for perfect furrow opening. These seeding units are mounted on a parallelogram and fitted with press wheels to precisely control the seeding depth and optimize soil/seed contact, thus promoting germination and crop emergence. With a clearance of 35 cm between the front and rear row, they are suitable for all conditions, both after plowing and in min-tilled land with the presence of residues. Roller bearings and bearings of SEEDFLEX seeding units are lubricated for life. They require no maintenance. The coulter pressure of each seeding unit is adjustable up to 45 kg to maintain sufficient seeding depth in heavy soils or when deep seeding at a sustained speed.

Precise and regular metering

The VENTA metering system of the TF 1512 front hopper is recognized for its simple design and its precise and regular metering. This centralized metering unit has large volumetric splines for large seeds (wheat, barley, peas, beans, etc.) as well as smaller ones for small seeds (rapeseed, alfalfa, etc.). The application rate range is from 1 to 430 kg/ha. The seeds are pneumatically transported by the air flow to the distribution head and are then transported evenly to the seeding units. The electric drive of the metering unit makes it possible to adjust the application rate manually or automatically via GPS directly from the tractor cabin. This reliable and robust drive requires no maintenance.

Fast adaptation to the working conditions

For quick and easy adaptation to variations in soil texture within plots, the seeding depth is adjusted either manually centrally or hydraulically from the tractor cabin. In the latter case, two cylinders with shims serve as a reference point. Hydraulic adjustments are available as standard for the BTFR 4530 and 6030 seeding bars.

Fast operation with the VISTAFLOW valves

The coulter bar distribution head can be fitted, as standard, with VISTAFLOW valves allowing 2*2 row tramlining to be carried out. For improved monitoring of seed passage and universal tramlining, it can be fitted, as an option, with VISTAFLOW valves on all rows.
Easy to attach the seeding bar to the power harrow's roller frame

Great autonomy

Coupled with the TF 1512 front hopper, this combination will save you time and comfort. With a capacity of 1500 liters (2000 liters with optional extension) and a transport width of 2.50 m, the TF 1512 front hopper provides autonomy, compactness and ergonomics. Appreciable assets in a context where favourable weather periods are increasingly limited.
Great autonomy

Simple and fast hitching/unhitching

If you wish to use the power harrow solo or with another seed drill, it is possible to hitch and unhitch the seeding bar quickly and without tools. The use of the power harrow solo without unhitching is also possible thanks to the seeding bar hydraulic lift which allows, for example, to carry out a pass without seeding.

Travel easily, safely and legally

Well-balanced loads

The combination of the front hopper with the power harrow and the seeding bar makes it possible to prepare the seedbed and seed in a single pass, saving labour, time and fuel! This combination also balances the loads between the tractor's front and rear axles for more comfort on the road and in the field. Manoeuvring is thus facilitated and the risk of soil compaction reduced.

Safe transport

The BTFR seeding bars of the 1030 range are equipped with a removable transport assistance system with semi-automatic coupling. The removable carrying frame supports the weight of the combination during transport. The maximum load on the rear axle and the GVW of the tractor are respected. The chassis features twin, pivoting large-diameter wheels. The carrying frame is easily removed thanks to the semi-automatic coupling. During work, it is placed at the end of the field in order to lighten the assembly. For road transport, the hydraulic top link is set into floating position. This ensures a smooth ride regardless of the terrain.
Optimised ground following & ensured comfort

Optimised ground following & ensured comfort

The BTF and BTFR coulter bars of the 1030 range are fixed and guided by the power harrow roller. There are many benefits:
- a center of gravity as close as possible to the tractor;
- perfect integration of the seed drill combination;
- reduced lifting power required;
- constant seeding depth, independent of the working depth of the power harrow. The adjustment of one does not affect the position of the other;
- good stability and optimal ground following even in stony conditions.
