High output seed drill combination

FOX compact combinations are not only impressive when operated solo but also show their strengths in combination with all PÖTTINGER implement mounted seed drills. You can use your FOX compact combination together with VITASEM, AEROSEM or TEGOSEM. Mounting and removing the drill using the rear roller is quick and easy, without the need for tools.

The specified working width of three metres is precisely maintained and is the width actually cultivated with FOX compact combinations. When used in combination with a seed drill, all the seed coulters always run on cultivated soil - even on the outermost edges.

This lightweight linkage-mounted machine is ideal for use in light to medium soils. Thanks to the scalloped discs and the large inter row spacing, the compact combination is suitable for mulch drilling conditions. Combined with a seed drill, the FOX compact combination demonstrates yet another talent.

Mounting of the seed drills on the rear roller is unique and has further advantages:

  • The mechanical working depth adjustment system allows the disc section to ride upwards, which is recommended in stony conditions.

  • The weight of the seed drill is carried by the rear roller. With the optional hydraulic working depth adjustment, the weight of the machine can easily be transferred to the disc section to ensure optimum entry into the soil.

  • The extremely short construction provides an optimised centre of gravity, similar to a power harrow and seed drill combination.

  • The seed placement depth is not influenced by changing the working depth on the compact combination.

Coupling trailed seed drills to the three-point linkage can be done using the optional HYDROLIFT system.

  • Add-on equipment with stroke limiter

  • Lifting power 2.4 kg

  • Versatile mounting options

The best centre of gravity

PÖTTINGER set two key objectives when developing the FOX compact combination.

  • The machine is designed for the lightest possible weight. At the same time, all technical requirements for trouble-free operation have been fulfilled.

  • The centre of gravity of the machine is positioned perfectly in combination with a mounted or semi-mounted seed drill.

When the seed hopper is full, the centre of gravity situation can change quickly. That is why PÖTTINGER focussed on compact design during development. The influence of the seed hopper is relatively small in comparison. This results in a less weight off the front axle even when the seed hopper is full.

  • On AEROSEM seed drills the centre of gravity is level with the rear roller.

  • On VITASEM models, the centre of gravity acts on the front section of the rear roller.

Focus on weight

The aim of the development was to manufacture all parts that project (far) to the rear, in particular coulters and loading platform, using special materials. PÖTTINGER uses aluminium components like the ones used in the automotive industry. These are technically advanced and have the same capability as steel.

For further weight optimisation, levelling tines can be dispensed with, depending on the type of coulter.
