Kubota Seeding Equipment-SC SERIES

Kubota Seeding Equipment-SC SERIES

The SC Series hopper capacity is 3000L (SC1300C & SC1400C), 4200L (SC1600CF) and 4350L (SC1600F). The hopper is divided lengthwise and the two metering devices are accordingly positioned either side. The proportion is 40 : 60 or 50:50

The SC is especially adapted to suite the need of precise fertiliser placement at the seed. These crops can show substantial yield increase when applying fertiliser with a relatively high percentage of phosphate together with the seeds. In Scandinavian and Eastern European countries the fertiliser is usually placed between the rows besides and below the seed, whereas in other countries e.g. Scotland the preferred method is to apply both seeds and fertiliser in the same row. In trials of spring sown crops, yields have shown increases up to 25% compared to crops where the fertiliser has been applied by other methods.

The SC is able to deliver fertiliser application rates up to 400kg/ha and 15km/h. The pressurised hopper system of the 6m version ensures these rates are maintained even under the most difficult conditions.
