The new Saphir 9 is equipped with EcoDrill electronic control, operated via the LET-40 touchscreen terminal. A new hopper with a polyethylene lid that is easier to close has been introduced. To make filling with Big Bags easier, this new lid can be opened very wide. The design of the step, the loading platform and the handrail has been improved. A new cover now protects the side controls, such as the bottom flap lever.
The Solitair 8 and 9 also feature an up-to-date polyethylene hopper and lid. The particularly quiet fan, inspired by the Solitair 25, stands out for its lower oil consumption. A drive button mounted on the seed drill means the farmer no longer has to go to the tractor to check the flow rate. The access ladder has also been improved and the step can be folded up. The metering unit and calibration tray are thus much easier to reach.
The Saphir 9 and the new versions of the Solitair 8 and 9 can be equipped with pre-emergence tramlining and fitted with the Solitair 25 harrow. The individual harrow tines are mounted on the seed drill coulters at the rear and reliably cover two rows of seeds. The compact harrow lifts quickly and adapts easily to a wide range of conditions.
