Flexible front-mounted hopper for both conventional and precision sowing.
The KverneThe Kverneland DF-1 front mounted hopper ensures even weight distribution across the machine arrangement providing the maximum balance. The 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.

Apart from the well-known tramline control FGS and the Signus, the pneumatic seed drills can be equipped with the Tellus GO+ and the IsoMatch Tellus PRO.
Tellus GO+
Tellus GO+ is especially developed for controlling the machine in a simple way. Easy set up the machine with the soft keys via the 7-inch touch screen. And, optimal control while driving, just use the hard keys and rotary switch.
IsoMatch Tellus PRO – the next generation universal ISOBUS Terminal
With this new terminal you can work all the way as a PRO. The maximum working range for the task controller IsoMatch GEOCONTROL is increased from 2 km to maximum 10 km from the starting point. Thus even extremely big fields are handled in a full professional way. The new high brightness screen increases operator comfort. Visibility is increased during the day and dimmed to just a glowing display in dark conditions.
According to the individual requirements and soil conditions, the pneumatic seed drills can be equipped with Suffolk Coulter or the CX-disc coulter.
Narrow and wide press wheels are available for special seeding conditions. These press wheels can be fully lifted in case of changing weather conditions.
