The advantages of this Pneumatic Precision Drill
High speed - up to 18km/h Optimum depth control Effective ground contour Small coulter for precise seed placement 60 litres seed hopperDescription
The Kverneland Optima V is the perfect precision drill for farmers and contractors who need a machine with various row widths. The Optima V, a pneumatic precision drill with a hydraulically variable frame width, fitted with SX sowing units is available in 6, and 6+1 row versions. The row spacing is adjustable in 5cm steps. The frame is combined with the electric driven SX e-drive II rows.
With the Optima V, the row width is ready in next to no time which ensures a speedy response on changing requirements. With the 1,000 litre fertiliser hopper and the attractively designed, lightweight frame, this precision drill offers a perfect combination of high range and ease of traction in all conditions. Your benefit: a high level of flexibility and less time waste.
Highlights
- Maximum flexibility with variable row width
- Air system for improved airflow increasing the seed spacing accuracy
- Headstock is made of round tubes saving weight and increasing the stiffness
- Optima V can be equipped with a 1000 l fertiliser hopper or front hopper solution as an option
- Microgranular applicator micro-drill is also possible as option
- In combination with iXtra LiFe the application of liquid fertiliser during seeding is possible, see iXtra LiFe.
- All Optima V are electric driven and compatibel with GEOSEED
Features
- Stable design, modular system, low maintenance costs, high degree of wear resistance and optimum depth placement.
- For fertiliser placement Kverneland supplies hoppers for different applications.
- The chain drive for metering can be adjusted from 106 to 390kg per hectare at a distance between rows of 75cm.
- The fertiliser applicator is driven centrally by an easily accessible side mounted gear box.
- Fertilising coulter, standard seeding with narrow coulter design and stable, reliable construction, coil spring protection from sideways forces
- Mulch seeding notched double-disc coulter for blockage-free and precise fertiliser placement by a Ø 350mm notched double-disc Coulter.
GEOCONTROL - Cost saving with immediate payback
Seeding with GPS and GEOCONTROL in combination with an electric driven precision drill is a major step towards precision and cost saving. These machines are all equipped with ISOBUS technology which with the help of the IsoMatch Tellus terminal, can be easily controlled.
Each electric driven seeding element, in combination with GPS and GEOCONTROL, is automatically switched on or off in exactly the right place, ensuring there is no overlap with any row that has already been seeded. This is especially handy in triangular fields, on curved or irregular shaped headlands.
With the pressurized seeding heart, the seeds are “shot” by an airstream of up to 70kph into the furrow. A smooth, flexible intermediate press wheel catches and protects the delicate seeds. Any negative impact such as vibration on the way between release point and soil contact are eliminated due to the high air stream.
The seeds reach their perfect position in the soil. Each sowing row is electrically powered by ISOBUS connection. An additional generator or other power sources are not required. The complete power supply and control is via ISOBUS.
e-drive II – complete control and monitoring of the machine from the tractor cab in accordance with ISOBUS standard
- With e-drive II, each sowing unit is driven individually via an electric motor.
- The low-maintenance drive is connected directly to the seeding heart via a toothed belt in an encapsulated dust proof housing.
- This enable an extremely compact design and smooth drive characteristics with low current consumption
- All the data is entered and read out via an ISOBUS terminal like IsoMatch Tellus PRO or Tellus GO+.
- The sowing distances are infinitely adjustable and can be changed during sowing.
- All the sowing units can be switched off individually.
- In conjunction with “close row” sowing widths of 37.5cm a further benefit of the e-drive II comes into play: Individual tramline switching. Tramlines can be set up for any spray width.
- The e-drive II features complete electronic monitoring of all machine functions including seed monitoring via an opto sensor.

GEOSEED - Precision at high end
GEOSEED is the precise synchronization of seed placement across the full working width of the machine. This ensures that seeds are distributed evenly, achieving an optimal pattern—either parallel or diamond-shaped—across the soil surface. The positive effects of this technology are far-reaching. By enhancing seed distribution, GEOSEED maximizes the efficient use of key resources such as nutrients, water, and sunlight, fostering optimal plant growth. Additionally, this uniform planting pattern helps reduce the risks of wind and water erosion, as the even distribution of plants improves soil structure and coverage, leading to better water retention and minimizing soil degradation.
Micro-drill for Optima HD-II and SX sowing units
The demand for microgranule applicators is increasing. Micro nutrients and also small amounts of insecticides or fungicides ensure the best start of the crop.
The electric driven micro-drills for the Optima HD-II and SX sowing units have been designed as backpack behind the sowing units and offer a hopper capacity of 17 liters.
They are electrically driven and ISOBUS controlled. The metering device consists of a wear-resistant plastic housing with exchangeable cell wheels made of stainless steel. This ensures the precise metering of the micro granules.
Operator’s safety
The engineers had focus on highest level of operator’s safety by offering easy and safe handling of the applicator. Therefore, the operator can exchange the cell wheels even when the hoppers are full of micro granule. There is no need to empty them first, reducing the operator’s risk of getting in direct contact with the granules.
A plus for the environment
The micro granules fall freely into the seed furrow without any air support, minimising the emission of dust. Therefore, the new micro-drill fully complies with the current guidelines for emission control of any granules applied.
Precision Farming
The comfortable, fully ISOBUS integrated control system allows the adaption to the stop and starting points of the seed row. This ensures precise shutting on and off at the end of the field and in tramlines (without overlaps or faults).
