The Junkkari S series is designed for traditionally cultivated soil and, under appropriate conditions, soil where reduced tillage has been used. Like the rest of the range, the S series was updated in autumn 2020. In addition to the new appearance, other significant changes include:
The land wheel has grown with its redesign, achieving reduced slippage and greater sowing precision. The power transmission from the land wheel to the gear box has also been strengthened.
Maintenance of the roller wheels has been made easier with a centralised lubrication system, which comes as standard with 7.5x20" roller wheels.
Steps have been added in each corner inside the hopper to make movement easier, and the remaining seed quantity can be easily checked using the handy scale sticker. Hopper cameras are also available as an optional extra.
An extension is also available for the hopper's partition wall for organic growers. This allows the partition wall to be placed fully forward to maximise the volume inside the hopper.
The ISOBUS controller has been updated and its user-friendliness has been further improved. A handy row marker lifting feature for clearing poles is included as a new feature.
The larger Plus hopper has stylish LED lighting as standard.
The updated 1-row s-tine cultivator and front-mounted tined weeder are now available as optional extras.
S series drills are based on a durable wedge-disc type coulter that maintains a precise sowing depth. The most commonly sold model, the Combi, deposits seeds and fertilizer in the same row using the same coulter with a row spacing of 12.5 cm. The Ferti model is also available with separate fertilizer disc coulters, with which fertilizer is deposited between every second seed row.
The drills are available in 3-metre and 4-metre variants, and the Combi model is available with both Eco and Plus hoppers. The Ferti model always comes with the Plus hopper. The Plus hopper is the largest on the market: 4,200 l on the 3-metre model and 5,700 l on the 4-metre model. Additionally, a wide variety of optional accessories and features are available to make the driver's job easier.
