    What to do if KUHN Drill is planting doubles?

      emilywintersAug 9, 2025
      If you're seeing doubles on the seeding line with your KUHN Drill, here's what to check: * Adjust the selector if it's incorrectly adjusted. * Adjust the setting or change the selector if it's worn. * Fit a disk to match the seed size if an inappropriate disk is being used. * Reduce PTO speed if there is insufficient vacuum. * Adjust the seed supply if the seed level is too high in the metering unit and overflowing into the seed row.

    Why is my KUHN MAXIMA 2 Drill sowing at an uneven depth?
    • J
      Jennifer ColonAug 14, 2025
      If you're experiencing uneven sowing depth with your KUHN Drill, consider these points: * Prepare the ground correctly if it's too lumpy or stony. * Adapt the forward speed to the working conditions if the ground speed is excessive. * Adjust the 3rd point such that the machine operates perfectly level if the seed drill horizontality adjustment is incorrect. * Install ground pressure springs or fit a pre-cutting disk if the disks have difficulty penetrating the ground.

      If you observe misses on the seeding line with your KUHN Drill, consider the following potential causes and solutions: * Ensure you are using the appropriate disk for the seed size; if not, fit a disk to match the seed size. * Adjust the forward speed to the working conditions if the ground speed is excessive. * Check and adjust the selector if it's incorrectly adjusted or worn; if worn, adjust the setting or change the selector. * Ensure the suction cover is properly closed and sealed at the front and rear of the metering housing. * Replace any distorted, unsuitable, or blocked spacer disks. * Tension the fan belt if it's improperly tensioned or displaced. * Inspect the mechanical drive to the disk, checking the safety bolt and ensuring the disk rotates freely using the man...

    Why is my KUHN MAXIMA 2 sowing unevenly?
    • B
      Barbara DavisNov 2, 2025
      If you notice unevenness while sowing with your KUHN Drill, several factors could be at play: * Ensure you are using the appropriate disk for the seed size; if not, fit a disk to match seed size. * Check and adjust the selector if it's incorrectly adjusted. * If a seed variety or batch promotes poor placement, check for improvement with another variety. If possible send a sample to the factory in order to check the problem with this type of seed on our test rig and to optimise settings. * Prepare the ground correctly, ensuring the moisture content is correct. * Check the drive condition (gears, sprockets, and chains) for any friction points. * Use a ratio adapted to the required population by checking the gearbox setting. * Adapt the forward speed to the working conditions i...
