Overview
Your Cover Crop Solution
KUHN offers two CCX 9010 models with a basic mounting frame allowing customers to mount the cover crop seeder to machines of their choosing.
Cover crops can offer a variety of benefits such as sequestering nutrients, limiting soil erosion, improving soil structure and inhibiting weed emergence. However, finding the time to plant a cover crop right after harvest can be a challenge, and an extra pass over the fields is generally undesirable.
KUHN Krause offers two CCX 9010 models with a basic mounting frame, allowing customers to mount the cover crop seeder to machines of their choosing. The CCX 9010ACC includes the same ISOBUS functionality as the CCX 9010 with diffusers.
Features
ISOBUS Functionality
ISOBUS functionality allows the operator to control and monitor all aspects of the CCX 9010 from the tractor cab.
Calibration
The CCX 9010 offers enhanced screen resolution, improved screen navigation, and a new external calibration start/stop button to reduce trips between the cab and the unit. The ISOBUS controller includes standard speed rate compensation. The meter is easily calibrated for various cover crop seed sizes and rates ranging from 1-135 lbs/ac, and adjustments can be made from the cab for spot treatment.
During calibration, seed is metered through the calibration door and into the seed collection bag supplied with the machine. The calibration door is opened and closed without using any wrenches and is equipped with a sensor to prevent the operator from beginning seeding without having first closed it.
The quantity of seed collected is weighed and the weight is entered on the ISO screen. The system then provides the operator the final calibration setting.
Metering Unit Adjustment
The virtual terminal displays the required metering unit opening according to the speed type, rate and forward speed entered. The metering unit is then adjusted using the handle and the setting is shown on the easy-to-read scale.
Poly Hopper
A 34- or 45-cubic foot hopper feeds seed to the electric drive metering unit which uses a speed signal from the tractor to ensure consistent application rate regardless of forward speed variations.
Electric Drive Metering Unit
The electric drive metering unit features a unique dual-spline system meaning there are no components to add or remove when changing between small and large seed types or when switching between rates.
Seed Splines
Small seed splines are used to reduce the volume of the metering unit when working with small seeds at low rates. They are engaged or disengaged without adding or removing any components from the metering unit, and the virtual terminal indicates their requirement during the calibration process.
Implement Switch
The CCX 9010 meter can start and stop seeding when the Excelerator XT is raised or lowered, using either an implement switch or a button on the screen.
Seed Distribution System
Seed is split precisely between outlets using an air drill style divider head to ensure excellent repartition of seed across the width of the machine. Outlet hoses and diffusers may be mounted at the operator's preferred location for the respective machine which the CCX 9010ACC is mounted on.
