11 All the benefits of extra wide drilling The XEOS TF solution with front hopper is the ideal solution for high-powered tractor configurations and uninhibited movement. > Genuine yield! When used with a top-of-the-range CULTILINE rotary harrow (4 rotors per metre), XEOS TF makes light work of both surface tilling and ploughed land, even in wet conditions. > With its added safety features, the XEOS TF is the only front hopper on the market authorised to travel on the road at night it is fitted as standard with low beam headlights, right/ left indicators and side lights. Its working lights, meanwhile, use LED technology and can be independently controlled. > More balance in order to rebalance the front and rear weights in the drilling configuration, the XEOS TF combines have: - a 1,000 or 1,800 litre front hopper, easy to load from the Easy to move front - the SULKY ADS distribution system, capable of applying anything between 1 kg/ha (rape) and 450 kg/ha (bean) - a side device for transferring seed (or fertiliser) to a distribution head at the rear - folding or rigid sowing coulterbar (UNISOC 3 R coulterbar, UNIDISC our CULTIDISC 80 kg ) integrated to a power harrow. The CULTIDISC is designed to work with or without a packer wheel, making it even more versatile in extremely wet conditions. 11

12 CULTILINE XR: fast module for seedbed preparation The CULTILINE XR is a mounted soil working equipment with two rows of notched discs. Available in versions of 3.00 m, 3.50 m and 4.00 m working width, it is able to work at more than 12 km/h forward speed. > Speed is his ally: with its 415 mm diameter discs, the CULTILINE XR module is adapted to work on mulch at speeds between 12 and 15 km / h. > Soil preparation is improved: the flow of soil is leveled by a leveling harrow just behind the two rows of discs. The roller ensures soil consolidation before the passage of the seeding units (choice between Packer Roller 550, Gravity or Tracker). > The XEOS PRO, more versatile than ever: the XEOS PRO can be combined either with CULTILINE XR or with a SULKY CULTILINE HR power harrow. The versatility of the drill combination makes an ally of choice from the early to the late drilling season, especially in wet conditions. 12

13 CULTILINE HR and HRW: the ideal partners for the XEOS range The versatility of this power harrow is well-established. With its CULTILINE HRs and the 3-year guarantee, SULKY is shaking up the leading players in the sector. This equipment is distinguished by the quality of its soil crumbling and its ease of maintenance. > 4 rotors per metre: flawless seed beds, with no swathes or ridges, and very easy to draw (less pulling by the harrows); for greater durability, conical roller bearings are used in the rotors. > Quickly disassembled centrally-removed tines: undoubtedly the best-designed system on the market, from both a mechanical (SULKY supplies a longhandled wrench), and safety point of view as the rotors no longer need to be individually adjusted. > Compact drill units! The fact that the XEOS mounted drills are incorporated with the CULTILINE rotary harrow limits centre-of-gravity offset during lifting. The XEOS TF solution with front hopper provides the balance required for «extra wide» drilling. > SULKY shows you real commitment: a 3-year guarantee on the gearbox and gear trough! Practical: quick disassembly with the tine then extracted through the centre of the rotor! Ask for CULTILINE-specific documentation. 13

14 14 UNISOC 3R

15 The large clearance version: better than a standard drilling system > The UNISOC 3R drilling system uses Suffolk coulters mounted on 3 identical rows; it therefore offers 330 mm of clearance between each row. > With this drilling system you can sow on ploughed or carefully tilled ground thanks to its ability to remove large volumes of plant debris, even with narrow inter-row spacing. > On the standard model, the depth pressure is adjusted with a central, graduated control; a hydraulic pressure kit is available as an option. > The highly-resistant, cast iron coulter stems, the anti-clogging flap, particularly when drilling on ploughed soil, and the anti pat-down device (pressure-mounted spring) make the UNISOC 3R standard drill worth every penny. MANUFACTURER X Dual action adjustment Shallow drilling or drilling on very loose soil: you can finely adjust your depth pressure until the pressure exerted by the weight of the UNISOC coulter unit is completely released, if necessary ( 0 kg of pressure)! or EFFECT 1 EFFECT 2 Exclusive to SULKY Deep drilling or increased forward speed: you have up to 20 kg of pressure from the UNISOC. Small seeds sown at surface level Large seeds at the required depth COMPARE! 15

16 16 UNIDISC R+

17 Greater versatility and depth control Exclusive to SULKY Double effect spring placed above the seed drill arm. > The UNIDISC drilling system uses large diameter discs; with 30 kg down pressure on each disc. It therefore moves easily through plant residues allowing you to advance at a faster pace. > Zero bounce with small seeds thanks to an air vent (exclusive to SULKY); this vent shuts off the flow of air just before the drill coulter so that the seed falls under its own gravity. > A tough coulter disc: the central double-lane ball bearing, boron-treated forged steel disc and extra hard cast iron seed coulterwill ensure that the UNIDISC lasts a long time. Seed placement worthy of a Suffolk coulter 5,5 The rounded disc/seed coulter assembly forms a V comparable to the head of a Suffolk coulter. It improves depth control even more and makes it possible to deposit the seed at the required depth The new angle of attack (5.5 ) provides the disc with good driveability even in loose soil Ant-clogging system valve (anti-obstruction) Double-lane ball bearing Extra rigid seed drill arm in elbow tubing Ø 43 mm New seed coulter with integrated depth control: it also provides inside self-cleaning for the disc. UNIDISC R+ Packer wheels giving priority to soil/seed contact Each 40 mm wheel provides energetic packing to optimise soil/seed contract for better germination and rapid emergence. The adjustment device has 12 positions including quick retraction if working conditions require it. As standard: central depth control; Hydraulic pressure kit available as an option. * According to the German body DLG,the packer wheel increases the emergence rate by as much as 15% in dry soil. 17

18 18 CULTIDISC

19 : The simplest top-of-the-range drilling system on the market > Up to 80 kg of individual pressure: ideal for working dry land, drilling to greater depths (e.g. bean) and operating at higher forward speeds. > Large notched disc (410 mm) with integrated packer wheel: drilling toolbar with aggressive angle of attack and seed consolidation for all types of seeds, ranging from OSR to conservation tillage of beans. > To ensure consistent depth and firming for each row, the CULTIDISC coulter units are all exactly the same length; exceptional anti-clogging clearance: 560 mm between rows! > Unfailingingly tough: seed coulter with integrated carbide disc, hinge-less leaf spring suspension (zero maintenance, zero wear), ultra protected double-lane ball bearings. > Flawless seed placement thanks to the exclusive anti-bounce air vent and the flat heel coulter (the heel protects the seeds from the rotating discs when being dropped to prevent them being ejected from the furrow). Depth control: Ease and precision from parallelo gram-mounted tie-rods! The depth of the drills can be easily adjusted by raising or lowering the frame supporting the coulter units (using the tie rods). 80 kg 80 kg 56 cm clearance Raised drill frame: drilling depth maintained at surface level (e.g.osr). Lowered drilling frame : drilling down (e.g.beans) 19

21 Metering: simple but cutting-edge performance! 1 - Universal metering unit: sows all seed types from OSR to beans without changing the splines; changing from small to large seeds is done through clutching and only takes a few seconds. 100% Sulky technology, the metering unit provides record-breaking performance: from 1 to 450 Kg/ha at 8 km/h for wheat. 2 - Accessibility and ergonomics: all adjustments have been centralised around the metering unit for rapid calibration testing without disassembly; complete emptying of the hopper only takes a matter of seconds thanks to an ingeniously placed flap. Universal metering unit: changing from small to large seeds is done through clutching express emptying to the last kilo. 3 - More air: all XEOS models have a slow-speed 6-inch extra-large fan. Silent and producing large volumes of air, it is fitted with a large diameter air intake with air filter as standard. Objective: ensure that seeds always hit their target whatever the size and whatever the quantity! The hydraulic drive (option on MD version) makes operation more convenient. The double-notched tapered sleeve at the end of the SULKY universal metering wheel provides both control of very low doses and better seed distribution. The SULKY metering unit gives you an application rate that is as good in the field as it is during adjustment phases. For calibration tests, there is nothing to dismantle as all adjustments are centralised around the metering unit. 21

23 Distribution and separation: The right head for the job! > Active turbulence design: lthe long, ringed feeder column ensures perfect, consistent mixing of both air and seeds; the unique design of the internal part of the head, free of any bounce zones, facilitates rapid and fluid seed flow. Result: exceptional distribution precision, guaranteed in all conditions, even on slopes and banks. > Excellent row separation according to the criteria of the German DLG*, even using the most sensitive seeds, such as peas or OSR! Peas kg/ha - CV= 1.54% > The ADS system gives you full control over the number of rows sown (every 2nd or 3rd row, 2 x 2 or 2 x 3 row tramlining, etc.) thanks to the individual flap covers integrated with the distribution head. These flaps also allow the tramlining track to be changed if needed. > From the cabin: symmetrical or assymetrical tramline control and half-drill shut-off*; during tramlining, valve (mechanical version) or patented plug-controlled seed return into tank. The original design of these valves (vent system) prevents any disturbance within the head whether the valves are open or closed, thereby guaranteeing reliable distribution in all circumstances. rate (%) rate (%) OSR - 3 kg/ha - CV= 2.84% Rows Easily modify the number of rows sown using the lever on each distribution head outlet.

25 XEOS TF: a brand new type of front hopper > The XEOS TF features a versatile, 100% stainless steel distribution system that can switch seamlessly from seeds to fertilisers (universal metering wheel). The metering mechanism is driven by an electric motor with an onboard radar to measure speed. > PACK DRIVE : self-steering front compactor with large tyres: with its forward position, this optional roller improves weight distribution and packing efficiency, whatever the weight in the hopper. > «Time saving» ergonomic design: four folding drill unit functions can be controlled via a single hydraulic connection (markers, folding mechanism, hydraulic adjustment of the drilling depth pressure and hydraulic lifting of the drill bar); the lighting and signalling functions are connected to the tractor via a single connector. This electro-hydraulic console is capable of controlling four hydraulic functions with ease, via a single DE connection. 25
