Kverneland TS EVO Drill

[WB5]

Is it possible to retrofit an electric metering unit to a 2012 drill with land wheel seed metering?

Rust - Looks similar to the Claydon metering system. Not sure what system the current EVO's have on them?

Didn’t @Phil P do something similar with an Accord front hopper?

Retro fit ISObus RDS Artemis to a Df1

As the title states, I'm looking to convert my df1 front hopper to do variable seed rates. I've looked at the Artemis system and like the features but was wondering if the ISObus system will retro fit to run on my jd4600 screen rather than having another screen in the cab. Has anyone fitted...

We did it this Autumn with as above, RDS. Works well, very accurate metering.

Hi E_B. You went for the RDS lite? Any idea of costs and was it fitted by your local dealer? Thanks

So the original seed unit stays in place. Where do you get the forward speed from?

I'd imagine it either has a GPS landwheel or takes a signal off the tractor ISO.

There’s the option of taking speed from the tractor, gps or there’s a Rds radar option as well.

Indeed, the forward speed comes from a GPS mounted on the drill. Tramlining is set off a finger switch on the top link, rather than the marker arms. So if you lift up mid bout for any reason, you need to remember to pause the tramline sequence.

We also thought the Accord wind in metering would be pulled out for the price, so were a touch disappointed. But in practice it's fine, just wind in the thread as you would do before for cereals, for instance, and calibrate on a RDS push button. Will PM price guide.

The RDS stuff is very easy to fit, done plenty.

Just picking up this thread. I’m interested in fitting RDS to a 750a. What sort of cost would it be? My tractor doesn’t have iso.
