Kuhn Maxima 3TDE precision planter: Maxima speed

摘要

We've been using the six-row Maxima 3TDE to see how it performs over an extended period and discover whether it can really achieve consistent precision at speeds of up to 10km/hr. Read on to find out. The Maxima precision planter family now comprises more than 10 variations - for a brief outline, refer to the box "Maxima diversity" on page 40. Our focus here is the six-row, 75cm spacing Maxima 3TDE - the latter denoting electric drive and a telescopic double frame to ensure it tucks within 3.0m for road transport. The seeder units are designed for speeds of up to 10km/hr, which gives a good indication of where Kuhn has positioned Maxima in the market.
