The design of the F-Drill front hopper has been thought out to offer optimum load balance on the tractor as well as excellent visibility from the operator's position.Its design with the butterfly opening makes it stand out from other solutions on the market.The hopper is made of high density polyethylene to eliminate the risk of corrosion, especially with fertilizer.The F-Drill hopper is available with two capacities to choose from:- Compact F-Drill with a capacity of 1,600 litres;- Maxi F-Drill with a capacity of 2,200 litres, also available in the maxi plus compartmentalized version;The Standard version is equipped with an Eldos metering device, easily accessible from the front of the hopper.On the Duo version, two Eldos dispensers are present, each capable of supplying 400 kg/ha.The feeding capacity of the Eldos doser with its Venturi system has been revised upwards compared to the old generations of hoppers.The objective is to be able to feed machines with larger widths, without the need to pressurize the hopper with the constraints generated.The front hopper has a loading platform with integrated step as standard.It can be equipped with an optional storage cart.The self-directional front-cutter is integrated under the hopper for traction operation.It has an automatic lifting lock.Its wide, low-pressure tires are taken from the Kverneland U-Drill rapid seeder.They have an excellent tamping capacity, reduced traction power, while preserving the soil structure.Two versions of the front cup are available: a basic version with hydraulic control and a fully automated Isobus version.The latter can work automatically with the cutting of sections on the headland, which makes the Kverneland solution unique on the market.The accessibility for loading the hopper is one of the strong points.Its butterfly opening allows it to eliminate any risk of damage during filling by big-bag.The filling height was also a point of attention during the design to reach only 1.45 m.As an option, additional weights can be installed on the hopper weight carrier to add weight to the front of the tractor.Big Tractors Passion 23 rue Dupont-des-Loges 57000 Metz Tel.: 03 87 69 18 18
