SOLUTION FOR HIGH-YIELD CROP SYSTEMS

The KATARA KN_S mounted seed drill combination is designed for conventional farmers seeking a combination of high yields and farming efficiency by minimizing the number of working operations. KATARA KN_S brings the best of BEDNAR technical solutions. It is a combination of KATOR KN power harrow, recognised for their robustness and higher number of rotors per meter of working width, with a well-proven seed bar.

KATARA KN_S SEED DRILL COMBINATION

Wide possibilities of use.

Conventional technology

KATARA KN_S is designed for farmers using tillage technologies. The high number of rotors per meter of working width in combination with high circumferential speed guarantees quality preparation of the seedbed. The seed has superb contact with the soil and moisture for subsequent development. For this purpose, we have specially developed a seed bar with row spacing of 12.5 cm.

Minimum Tillage technology

For maximum use of power harrow, the seed bar can simply be dismounted. Disconnection of the seed bar is fast, easy and requires no special tools. The KATOR KN power harrow can therefore be used separately, for example for preparing soil prior to planting potatoes or soil preparation for hard-to-work soils.

Soil preparation using power harrow

For maximum use of power harrow, the seed bar can simply be dismounted. Disconnection of the seed bar is fast, easy and requires no special tools. The KATOR KN power harrow can therefore be used separately, for example for preparing soil prior to planting potatoes or soil preparation for hard-to-work soils.

Soil preparation with raised seed bar

When soil preparation is needed between seeding passes, you don’t have to detach the seed bar. The KATARA KN_S drill combination allows the seed bar to be raised by 150 mm, enabling soil preparation only, without simultaneous seeding.

SAFE TRANSPORT

Transport width just 2.5 m and centre of gravity near the tractor.

The KATARA KN_S seed drill combination in the transport position offers one of the smallest transport widths on the market – a mere 2.5 metres. KATARA KN_S fulfils all EU requirements for road travel. The seed bar is very close to the rear packer. This structural property is key for an optimum centre of gravity, which is very close to the rear tractor hitch.

KATOR POWER HARROW

Heavy-duty power harrow for best soil preparation quality.

The heart of the KATARA KN_S seed drill combination is its proven KATOR power harrow, which offer high number of rotors per meter of working width. The spacing of individual rotors is 24.5 cm. The high number of rotors ensures quality crumbling of soil, even in dry periods or during cultivation of heavy soils. Hydraulic adjustment of the working depth of the power harrow is a part of the basic machine equipment.

TWO OPTIONS FOR ROW SPACING

12.5 or 16,7 centimetres.

The KATARA KN_S seed drill combination is fitted as part of the standard equipment with seeding coulters with row spacing of 12.5 cm. This spacing of seeding coulters is suitable for systems with high representation of cereals in the crop rotation. The row spacing of 16.7 cm is suitable for establishing crops on hard soils or in minimum tillage systems.

EASY SEED BAR DISCONNECTION

Fast, safe and without the use of any special tool.

From the first designs, the KATARA KN_S machine was intended to feature a user-friendly system of seed bar disconnection. The distribution head is a part of the seed bar frame, so it requires no additional disassembly. Between the distribution head and power harrow frame is a bracket, attached to which are the distribution pipes, hydraulic hoses and cable harnesses. The seed bar is simply detached using the quick-release stops and safely placed on the parking leg. The entire disassembly process is quick and requires no tools.

ONE OR TWO DISTRIBUTION HEADS

Equipment according to your requirements.

As a part of the basic equipment, the KATARA KN_S seed drill combination features one distribution head. For maximum accuracy when seeding and saving seed costs, the seed drill combination can be fitted with a pair of distribution heads. In this case, the seed drill combination offers the option of switching off half of the machine working width.

SEED FLOW SENSORS

Have a clear picture of the throughput of each seeding coulter.

The seed drill combination can be equipped upon request with seed flow sensors that provide the operator information through the monitor in case of clogging of the seed hose. This element guarantees maximum seeding accuracy. The operator always has a perfectly clear overview of the fluid flow of individual seed hoses.

PERFECT INTERPLAY

In combination with BEDNAR front hoppers.

Connection of the seed drill combination with BEDNAR FERTI-BOX FB_F / FB_F Dual or SEED BOX SB front hoppers guarantees maximum compatibility and accuracy during seeding. BEDNAR has long used pressurised hopper design ensuring high dosing accuracy regardless of the seed or fertiliser size. It features easy seed rate adjustment or the option of variable dosing based on prescription maps.

INTUITIVE AND CLEAR OPERATION

ISOBUS connectivity, new control software.

Ease of use is a priority for today’s operators. The KATARA KN_S seed drill combination is equipped with the new BEDNAR EASY CONTROL software, which guarantees easy and clear operation. The software offers clear, easy and intuitive control of the seed drill.
