The trailed pneumatic seed drill combinations AEROSEM VT 5000 DD and VT 6000 DD from Pöttinger with working widths of 5.0 m and 6.0 m respectively, are now equipped with the Profiline comfort control system. It makes them more versatile for a range of applications in the field.
Profiline is the comfort control system that covers all the hydraulic functions of the AEROSEM VT. The machine is supplied with oil by the tractor’s load sensing connection, and all movements are controlled electro-hydraulically via a hydraulic block. The machine is operated by pressing a button on the control terminal or automatically by the task controller using Section Control and Variable Rate Control. All the tools are positioned automatically and precisely. The coulter pressure is now also regulated automatically.
During operation, the tools can be precisely adjusted to the site specific conditions. Independent of Section Control, the lifting and lowering sequences can also be set based on time or distance travelled. It is also possible to deactivate individual tools. Sensor monitoring enables the machine to fold and unfold automatically.
The headland control function stops and restarts the machine precisely at the headland. Without a task controller, this function is controlled at the touch of a button. With a task controller, lifting and lowering is done automatically using the TC-GEO/TC-SC signals.
Enabling Task Controller Geo means that application maps can be used to operate the machine. The working depth of the power harrow, coulter pressure and seed and fertilizer rates are then controlled automatically on a site-specific basis. This allows valuable resources to be used efficiently and saved as a result.
