Lemken presents the Solitair PT seed drill and power harrow combination for farmers and contractors. Designed for high capacity use, it suits a wide range of soil conditions. Thanks to intelligent precision technology, the combination prepares an optimal seedbed.

A good seedbed is essential for even field emergence. Given this, Lemken developed the Solitair PT drill combination with power harrow.  The integrated Zirkon power harrow is equipped with four tine carriers per meter of working width. Thanks to its special tine arrangement and the hydraulic depth adjustment, which comes as standard, it ensures even crumbling and a continuous flow of soil in all conditions.

The working depth, rotor speed and forward speed can all be adjusted individually. This enables the Solitair PT to work either quickly and extensively at a shallow depth, or deeply and intensively, depending on the individual soil requirements and tillage method. The levelling bar can be adjusted hydraulically or mechanically, thus contributing to consistently high-quality results.

Tank variants for every requirement

The Solitair PT is equipped with large-volume metal tanks. There is a choice of either a single tank with a capacity of 4,400 liters, or a double tank with a capacity of 5,100 liters (40:60 split). Thanks to its corrosion-resistant components and integrated agitator shaft, the modular metering system always works reliably, even when handling different seeds or fertilizers.

At the heart of the Solitair PT is the coulter bar with parallelogram-guided double disc coulters, available as OptiDisc M (up to 45 kg coulter pressure) or OptiDisc H (up to 70 kg coulter pressure). The coulter pressure can be adjusted mechanically or hydraulically, independently of the seed depth – a key advantage when working in changing soil conditions and at high speeds. Seed placement can be further improved by a pre-running trapeze packer roller, which ensures optimum seed-to-soil contact.

The long drawbar of the Solitair PT enables tight turning manoeuvres even with wide tractors. Tools such as a leading tyre packer, wheel mark eradicator discs or tractor wheel mark eradicators allow for targeted adaptation to any situation.
