Progress TF: Your multi-product front hopper
- Hopper capacity: 2200 to 2400 liters
The features Progress TF
Record speeds
The technical innovation doesn't stop there: thanks to a pressurized pneumatic circuit, the "Progress TF" achieves record flow rates of 60 kg/min, while maintaining optimum operating comfort. Unlike other models, the hoppers themselves are not pressurized, offering a host of practical advantages.
Simplified management
- Management of additional hoppers: additional hoppers can be added without complexity.
- Large hopper opening for easy filling and maintenance.
- In-use check: inspect hopper interior without interrupting blower operation.
- Simplified sealing: no need to ensure perfect sealing of the hopper.
An innovative front cup
As an option, the "Progress TF" can be fitted with an innovative front packer, positioned in front of the hopper to facilitate operation. The latter is equipped with two large-diameter wheels, offering optimum performance even in wet conditions, such as in autumn. The quick-hitch system makes it easy to uncouple the attachment when required.
Safety and comfort
User safety and comfort were top priorities in the design of the new "Progress TF" front hopper.
On the road, this hopper is distinguished by features that enhance farmers' peace of mind. Equipped with two side cameras, it offers optimum visibility at intersections, reducing the risk of accidents when travelling.
Greater versatility
From now on, a single attachment point is fitted to the tractor, simplifying assembly for dealers and disassembly for farmers. This system also has the advantage of maintaining a constant angle between the TF and the side pipe, optimizing both performance and practicality. The new “Progress TF” hopper is compatible not only with SKY Agriculture’s entire range of seed drills, but also with the Methys stubble cultivator, offering maximum versatility for a variety of farming operations. Thanks to a specific distribution head for high flow rates, the “Progress TF” can also be used with a precision seeder or a hoe, further extending its field of application.
4 burial options
The right seeding line for every need
SKY offers numerous versions of seeding lines to be combined with the Progress TF front-mounted hopper: Seeding lines from 3.00 m fixed to 6.00 m folding, in the P20 version, with 3 true rows, for its simplicity and efficiency, in the P50 version, double disc on parallelogram, for its high precision, or in the P100 version, single notched disc, for its versatility.
P20 folding seeding line
The P20 coulter system uses 3 rows of trailing shares.
This gives 330 mm of clearance between each row.
This system allows you to sow on ploughing or on careful stubble ploughing, thanks to its high capacity to evacuate plant debris, even in tight inter-row conditions.
As standard, terrage pressure is adjusted by a centralized, graduated control.
The high-strength cast-iron plowshare stem, the anti-clogging valve (especially for plough seeding) and the "anti-pianotage" device (pressure-mounted spring) make the P20 a "safe bet".
Fixed and folding P30 seeding line
The sowing units follow the soil perfectly, thanks to the seeder's support on the roller with a 2-row coulter system, with up to 30 kg of coulter pressure with a double-acting spring.
P50 folding seeding line: the double disc par excellence
The P50 seeding line, with its press roller, is your ideal ally for all your seeding needs, even in the driest conditions.
The ground tracking provided by the individual parallelogram allows perfect sowing over a wide range of forward speeds.
The offset double disc deposits the seed with precision even at speeds in excess of 10 km/h.
Centralized depth adjustment is quick and easy, thanks to simple, clear and precise markings.
For good emergence, your seeds need optimum re-sowing quality adapted to climatic conditions.
That's why the P50 re-support system is independent of depth, and offers you pressure that can be increased in constant increments up to 50Kg per element.
P100 fixed or folding seeding unit: the most efficient seeding unit on the market
After harvest and in early autumn, the front-mounted hopper does a tremendous amount of work, with record output.
In dry or extremely wet conditions, the XEOS TF coupled with the P100 seeding line enables you to sow while controlling quality seeding when others are no longer sowing.
This seeding line applies up to 100 kg of individual pressure: welcome power in dry conditions, for deep seeding such as with faba beans, or at high forward speeds.
With its large notched disc (410 mm) and integrated press wheel, it provides the necessary aggressiveness on the seeding line and effective seed sealing in dry conditions.
E-Drive a choice of piloting
The piloted distribution head (when all rows are equipped with actuators) offers all possible tramline combinations, the possibility of creating a half-seeder, seeding 1 row out of 2… All you have to do is make your choice, and E-DRIVE executes it – a major asset when you’re a contractor. What’s more, thanks to the new CCI console combined with guidance, you benefit from automatic tramlining without having to sow back and forth, optimizing your comfort and efficiency.
