The new Kverneland FlexCart is a multi-purpose seed cart prepared to go with various seeding or fertilizing implements.

The FlexCart is available as fertilizer carrier in combination with a 6m Optima PH e-drive precision drill with either 8, 12 or 16 rows or for seed distribution with a 6 or 8m CX-Ultra disc coulter bar.

The hopper capacity of 4300 litre reduces the number of fillings required and consequently increases hectare performance per hour.  The wide hopper opening and the low overall tank height of 2.17m allows easy filling. Inspection windows positioned in the front of the hopper provide the operator with a constant visual indication of the filling level.

Advantages

• Flexible System – combinable with many 3-point implements
• Fuel savings – power consumption adequate to implement
• Time savings – large hopper capacity and quick filling system
• Investment savings – one FlexCart for different implements
• High resale value
• Precision farming – built-in Isobus system
• Easy handling

FlexCart – Concept

• One SeedCart can be operated with various seeding and fertilizing implements.
• Implement adequate power requirement combined with an implement matching hopper capacity.
• Easy handling, thus the FlexCart offers:
  Standard 3-point linkage and hydraulic as well as ISOBUS connectivity to its rear implement.
