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 : 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.
