MAXIMA 3 precision seeding bar

The MAXIMA 3 seeding unit features a cast-iron parallelogram that provides up to approximately 180 kg of ground pressure. It is fitted with chrome plated shafts, and its cast components highlight the robustness of the seeding unit. The seeding unit plate has been designed for long service life, as have all components subjected to high working loads. Finally, the share point is now equipped with carbide-tipped points, ensuring precise sowing over many years while reducing maintenance costs. KUHN is committed to supporting you in the maintenance and use of your machine, feel free to contact us for more information.

The MAXIMA 3 range is equipped with three types of equipment:

• front equipment: clod clearers and trash removers
• intermediate equipment: intermediate tamping wheel, closing discs, and closing scrapers
• rear equipment: V-MAX roller, V-HD roller, and OTIFLEX roller

Together, these tools ensure effective seed line cleaning and create optimal seed-to-soil contact conditions for optimum germination. Detailed options can be found in the “Equipment and Options” section.

Choose simplicity with a well-designed, logical, and intuitive software interface. You are guided through all settings and can analyse machine performance in detail. Advanced statistics are available both during static set-up and live while seeding. It is possible to customise the information displayed and the level of detail you wish to see. You can control density directly from the cab with fingertip precision, even on a per-row basis for seed producers. Variable seeding density can be applied on bends for machines with a minimum working width of 6 m. Access universal tramlining patterns, whatever your required rhythm, and even increase seed density on rows adjacent to tramlines to compensate for yield losses, without affecting harvesting or disturbing plot spacing.

The seed drill can be equipped with one or two centralised microgranulators to apply one or two products simultaneously during seeding. Two delivery options are available: in-furrow or on-furrow, as well as a combination of both. Different hopper sizes are available depending on requirements. The microgranulators cover a wide range of application rates and can handle a broad variety of products. Thanks to centralisation, the operator is less exposed to hazardous products, and handling is faster, easier, and less frequent. End-of-field residual management is simplified, and the microgranulator fill level does not affect seeding unit ground pressure.
For fertilisation, various hopper sizes are also available, with non-stop coulter with shoe or non-stop disc coulters positioned 5 cm offset from the seed line. The metering system allows application rates from 70 to 330 kg/ha depending on speed and machine configuration. Front hoppers (TF) and front-mounted sprayers (PF) also enable solid or liquid fertilisation when paired with MAXIMA 3 seed drills, ensuring versatility and balanced load distribution.
