Kuhn Farm Machinery has extended its precision drill range with the two-row Kosma M pumpkin drill, designed to offer growers a cost-effective establishment option.
The drill features two Kosma row units spaced at 100cm, with newly designed seeding discs with four, 4.5mm holes to provide 10,000 seeds per hectare. A vacuum fan forces the seed onto the disc for accurate placement, and the seeding units are completed with a 50mm VE rear rubber roller, wide gauge wheels and mechanical drive wheels.
Edd Fanshawe, Kuhn’s arable and connected services product specialist, says the drill will appeal for a variety of reasons. “The Kosma M 2.5m will suit pumpkin growers across the country looking for a drill capable of accurately establishing crops for years to come. We have used well-known components from our existing machines to offer buyers a precise drill with proven reliability.”
The company added that the drill would also suit several smaller producers looking to improve their establishment by purchasing the drill as part of a cooperative agreement. Kuhn also notes that it can cater for specific requirements with the drill.
