Precision Planter PP1001F Series

Kubota’s PP1001F Series parallel-hydraulic folding frames provide 6 m working width and just 3 m transport width, offering safe, high performance and fast conversion from work to transport to work positions.

PRODUCT FEATURES

On the PP1001F Series of folding precision planters, the frame can be equipped with 8 rows for maize, up to 16 rows for combined use in sugar beet, maize, sunflowers or soya, or narrow seeding with rapeseed. Fertiliser can also be applied in combination with a front hopper, and a microgranular applicator for many of the frames is available. Electronic drive options add even more flexibility, with HD-II and SX sowing rows as standard on the PP1601F-HD and PP1601F-SX, respectively.

HIGH SEED SOWING

The HD-II sowing row on the PP1601F-HD is a heavy-duty unit with a traditional vacuum system to suck seeds to the seed disc. The air stream is then interrupted to allow the seed to fall to the furrow via gravity, allowing sowing at up to 9 km/h. The SX sowing row on the PP1601F-SX has a pressurised seeding heart blowing seeds to the disc. The seed is then released from the disc and shot down the seed tube at 70 km/h with precise seed placement at up to 18 km/h.
