Innovative technologies of the LEMKEN Solitair

On-board technologies

  • Solitronic : An intuitive control terminal that allows for precise adjustment of the seed rate, recording of areas by plot, and automatic diagnostics in case of malfunction.
  • ISOBUS & DGPS :  Interface compatible with all ISOBUS terminals. Allows for automatic tracing (Tramline-Control) and management of maneuvers at the end of the field (Headland-Control) to avoid double or forgotten areas.
  • Section-based distribution : Each dosing unit can be disabled independently. Ideal for plot tips or unsown windbreaks, reducing seed losses.
  • Flow sensors : Placed on the descents, they detect any interruption of sowing. An audible alert immediately informs the user, displaying the affected descent.

Field performances

  • Working widths : Models available from 4 to 12 meters, adapting to small and large farms.
  • Hopper capacity : From 1,850 l (Solitair 9) to 5,800 l (Solitair 12), providing great autonomy and reducing interruptions.
  • Precise deposition : Offset double discs elements with separate pressure and sowing depth settings for optimal seed placement.
  • Uninterrupted operation : Smooth operation, even at high speed or in the presence of residues, without risk of blockage.

Q: What hopper capacities are available?
A: Depending on the model, the hopper capacity varies from 1,850 liters (Solitair 9) to 5,800 liters (Solitair 12), providing great field autonomy.

Q : Le semoir Solitair est-il adapté aux semis en conditions difficiles ?
R : Oui, ses éléments semeurs à doubles disques permettent une dépose régulière même en sols secs, pierreux ou avec beaucoup de résidus végétaux.

Q: Is the Solitair seeder suitable for difficult sowing conditions?
A: Yes, its double disc seeding elements allow for consistent deposition even in dry, rocky soils or with a lot of plant residues.

Q: Can the Solitair be used with a GPS?
A: Absolutely. It is ISOBUS and DGPS compatible, and can be equipped with functions such as automated tracing (Tramline-Control) and headland management (Headland-Control).

Q: How to avoid overlap in sowing?
A: With section-based distribution, each dosing unit can be individually stopped for precise sowing, particularly at the end of the field or on the tips.
