CHRONO, universal planting unit

CHRONO planting unit is characterised by the most advanced and innovative solutions found on the new generation precision planters. The independent pneumatic system with lobe compressor, allows the transport of the seed from the distributor to the planting furrow, guaranteeing high forward speeds and varying the air flow according to the different types of seeds, from the smallest such as sorghum to the most irregular like sunflower. 

Planting everywhere

The HEAVY DUTY setting of the planting unit is amplified by the sturdy double parallelogram connection system with AIR SPRING that allows to vary the pressure of the unit on the ground up to a maximum of 300 kg, which can be operated directly from the tractor cab. This allows direct planting even on very compacted heavy soils.

Trailed and foldable

CHRONO planting unit is coupled to the trailed type frame with side wings and front folding which guarantees a road footprint of only 3 meters, complying with the European Mother Regulations for on-road travel. The long drawbar guarantees high stability and allows a greater turning radius.

ISOTRONIC transmission

The ISOTRONIC electric transmission with ISOBUS GENIUS MASTER communication protocol allows to take advantage of all the Precision Farming functions for laying the seed, for the distribution of the microgranular product and of the fertilizer. 

Special contents
SEMI-MOUNTED FRAME WITH HYDRAULIC FRONT FOLDING

The semi-mounted frame with hydraulic front folding uses a long drawbar to house the blower of the distribution system, guaranteeing a footprint of only 3 m.

HIGH SPEED DISTRIBUTOR
HIGH SPEED DISTRIBUTOR

CRHONO distributor has a tilt of 15° in order to optimise the fall of the seed into the perfectly straight tube. By eliminating any contact between seed and tube, maximum precision is guaranteed. The body made of aluminium combines high strength and lightness.

SEED COUNTER SENSOR
SEED COUNTER SENSOR

The photocells on the metering unit body outlet check that the seed actually enters the delivery tube turning on a LED placed on the side of the planting unit. Data regarding the amount of seeds per hectare, distance and planting precision are instantly collected. The audible seed monitoring alarm promptly warns the operator if no seed is detected or the hopper is empty.

ISOTRONIC ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION

CHRONO is fitted with 12 V Brushless electric motors. These brushless motors allow easy and immediate management of the rows via ISOBUS communication protocol. Each single engine is electronically managed via Virtual Terminal, allowing the exclusion of a row at any time.

PNEUMATIC SEED TRANSPORT
PNEUMATIC SEED TRANSPORT

CHRONO uses an independent pneumatic seed transport system. Through a lobe compressor, an air flow is generated which, entering the delivery tube, carries the seed to the planting furrow. This system has multiple advantages:

- High planting speeds;
- Maximum precision of deposition distances;
- Deposition of large and small seeds.

HEAVY DUTY UNIT
HEAVY DUTY UNIT

CHRONO planting unit has HD characteristics capable of allowing planting on all types of soil and in all conditions thanks to:

1. AIRSPRING SYSTEM
Down pressure is ensured by centrally controlled compressed air springs, directly from the ISOBUS terminal. Load wide range guarantees versatility of use thanks to the ability to reach ground pressures up to 300 kg, as required for planting on untilled soil.

2. FRONT DISC COULTER
Thanks to the 355 mm diameter, an effective cutting action of the soil is generated for the correct deposition of the seed. The trash wheels free the planting row from any bulky residues that can compromise germination.

3. CLOSING WHEEL UNIT
The system is made of cast steel and uses v 1x14” rubber wheels that guarantee closure even in conditions of untilled soil.

SPREADING OF FERTILIZER AND MICROGRANULAR PRODUCTS
SPREADING OF FERTILIZER AND MICROGRANULAR PRODUCTS

MINIMAX volumetric metering unit is easily adjustable and allows the spreading of both fertilizer and microgranular products, while maintaining high spreading precision. Thanks to the electric drive and ISOBUS communication protocol, maximum precision and ease of adjustment is always guaranteed.
