The seeds reach their perfect position in the soil.Any negative impact such as vibration on the way between release point and soil contact are eliminated due to the high air stream. A smooth, flexible intermediate press wheel catches and protects the delicate seeds. With the pressurized seeding heart, the seeds are “shot” by an airstream of up to 70kph into the furrow.Good placement, and seed covering is done by the smooth flexible intermediate press wheel and multi-adjustable V-press wheel. Precise seed placement by the small coulter which forms a clean furrow.Effective ground contour following due to the large depth control by open gauge wheels (⌀410mm, with 120mm).Optimum depth control due to the heavy basic weight of the sowing unit with the possibility to add additional pressure (up to 100kg) onto each individual sowing unit via spring-loaded system.This seed heart principal results in no loss of vacuum, and therefore a low vacuum requirement.This seeding drum is connected to the vacuum fan via a hollow shaft. No friction, no wear, low drive torque, minimum maintenance: The seed disc rotates in the seeding heart together with the vacuum chamber.The patented seeding heart by Kverneland has reduced maintenance costs to a minimum.Light re-compaction and seed covering is done by the intermediate press wheel (as option: heavy stainless steel) and the multi-adjustable V-press wheel – to ensure maximum field emergence. Effective ground contour following, due to the large lateral depth control by open gauge wheels (Ø410mm, width 120mm).Optimal depth control even under extreme conditions, due to the heavy basic weight of the sowing unit with the possibility to add additional pressure (up to 100kg) onto each individual sowing unit via the spring-loaded system.For more information, please see iXtra LiFe. Moreover, the combination of the Optima with the iXtra LiFe allows the application of liquid fertiliser during seeding. The Optima R can be set at row widths from narrow 35cm up to wide 80cm for maize respectively up to 150cm for pumpkins depending on the kind of row and equipment. All Optima with electric drive (HD-II/SX) can be equipped with micro-drill. The Optima R can be combined with an optional fertiliser spreader or front hopper. Conventional rows, tandem rows, HD-II and SX rows are available. All rigid Optima frames can be equipped with either mechanical or electric drive. A lengthwise transport device is not available. The Optima R can be used for a whole diversity of applications and offers great capacity by increased working widths from 3 to 6m. The rigid Optima R is the lighter version complementing the Optima RS within the full range of Optima models. The Kverneland Optima is the universal pneumatic precision drill for maize, sunflowers, field beans, unpelleted beet, pelleted beet, dwarf beans, soya beans, peas, and many other types of seeds.
