KOSMA seeding unit

Using the ISOBUS Section control and Variable Rate Application features, KOSMA seed drills can help you:

• Increase yield (average increase of 3% with Variable Rate Application*)
• Lower seed costs
• Prevent over population on the headland

To save time and simplify your seeding operations, ISOBUS technology makes it easier to manage your KOSMA seed drill.

The CCI ISOBUS terminal gives you better visibility and increased flexibility. The large, touch screen enables the driver to display and view different essential information simultaneously. With the CCI 1200 ISOBUS terminal, you can view two different applications at the same time (GPS & the machine for example).
(*depending on the application map and soil variations)

Everyone is looking for fast and uniform crop germination, but how this is achieved depends on the conditions. KOSMA precision seed drills can be fitted with 3 types of equipment to give you the best seeding quality:

• Seeding-line clearance with front-mounted equipment: clod clearers or trash removers
• Improved soil/seed contact thanks to the intermediate press wheel (shown below)
• Furrow closing and better soil consolidation around the seed with the V-profile wheels

For farmers and smaller contractors
KOSMA M: the rigid seed drill for sowing maize and sunflower

The KOSMA M's fixed chassis is light weight (200 kg lighter than a MAXIMA 3 M). With its compact linkage system, it creates very little overhang, so is the ideal solution when used in combination with a power harrow. The KOSMA M reduces soil compaction, especially in light and airy soils. It can be fitted with 2x260 litre or 1x950 litre fertiliser hoppers to reduce the number of passes required
 
KOSMA TS: Ideal for use in combination with a power harrow

KOSMA single-telescopic seed drills are extremely versatile with the possibility of seeding in combination with a power harrow. With the KOSMA TS, you will benefit from all of KUHN's expertise in this simple and economical seed drill:

A simple and robust chassis with 6 rows that can be fitted with a 950 litre fertiliser hopper
Lighter weight (1180 kg) with compact linkage system to keep overhang to a minimum
A choice of mechanical or electric drive system to meet the needs of precision agriculture
 
KOSMA TD:  Double telescopic for a transport width of 3 metres.

For contractors looking for a compact machine, which can fold quickly and easily from the cab. The KOSMA TD weighs only 1290 kg which is 18% less than the MAXIMA 3 TD, so it can be used with a smaller tractor for spring seeding. This more-compact machine reduces pulling torque as well as power requirement. With the double-telescopic chassis it is possible to fit a 950L fertiliser hopper and non-stop disc applicators.

The KOSMA R is a mounted, foldable and lightweight machine that reduces soil compaction and is capable of high-quality seeding with tractors from 140 hp. Being 300 kg lighter than the MAXIMA 3 R, the KOSMA R reduces soil compaction as well as fuel consumption. The lighter weight chassis is ideal for sugar beet as well as for crops such as chicory and rape.
Transform your 8-row seed drill into a 12-row drill with electric drive.

This one machine is capable of seeding at 45 cm spacing as well as 75 cm! Only one investment for optimum operations. It only takes half a day in the workshop to transform the seed drill so that you don't have to transport seeding rows needlessly when working with the 8-row configuration. The electric system makes it easy to unplug rows instead of disconnecting drive systems.

For optimum seeding quality and increasingly high output, KUHN has specific options for planting beetroot (Stainless steel wheel, clod clearers and trash removers, etc.…) with ultra-precise and fast settings.

The M Select chassis: the maize-sunflower configuration you need

The KOSMA M Select features a simple and robust chassis which suits lower powered tractors perfectly. With its lighter weight and compact linkage system, overhang is reduced. This 8-row model with 70 cm spacing keeps soil compaction to a minimum, especially in light or airy soils. The KOSMA M Select model is fitted with 2x260L or 1x950L fertiliser hopper with double-disc fertiliser applicators that deliver the fertiliser at the right depth.

The TRM Select chassis: the trailed, 8-row seed drill

The KOSMA TRM Select has a high-capacity fertiliser hopper on a short, robust chassis. This trailed 8-row model with 70 cm spacing is also designed for maize and sunflower crops. The KOSMA TRM Select is equipped with a 1350L fertiliser hopper for greater autonomy, and less traction power. It is capable of higher work output than the mounted KOSMA M Select model of the same width. The chassis has a short linkage system which makes it very easy to handle on headlands and stable on slopes.

The TRS chassis: 1 seed drill, 2 configurations

The KOSMA TRS machine is capable of great quality output at high working speeds, with low-power tractors. The 24 rows spaced at 45 cm can be transformed into 16 rows with 70 cm spacing. With the drive wheels at the back of the machine, many seeding-bar configurations are possible. This unique design, with parallelogramme linkage between the seeding bar and the frame of the machine, produces excellent ground contour following. The machine folds to a width of approximately 3.5m for transport. The design of the frame and the light weight of the machine mean that it can be operated with low traction power. The 24-row configuration on a 12m chassis can be pulled with only 150 hp when using no fertilizer.
