LS 3.20<br />
Exceptional<br />
clearance<br />
Design of this SULKY drilling system is characterised by<br />
the use of rigid, angled tube arms and the assembly of<br />
Suffolk coulters on 3 rows. You benefit from 330mm<br />
clearance between each row, which is reassuring if you<br />
prefer close row spacing (12.5cm). Thus, on minimum<br />
tillage systems, these sowing elements always get rid of<br />
plant trash, stones etc. better than ordinary seed drills.<br />
"Anti-bounce" geometry<br />
Each sowing element has individual, adjustable pressure<br />
depth control up to 20kg. Thanks to fitting of inclined<br />
compression springs under constant pressure, you<br />
benefit from an 'anti-bounce' suspension. Sheltered from<br />
the flow of soil, the springs hold the pressure even in<br />
difficult conditions. They also provide high vertical<br />
clearance (325mm).<br />
The LS 3.20 toolbar on the OPTILINE MP can be fitted with 3 rows<br />
of Suffolk Coulters, providing a 330 mm clearance<br />
between rows and an "anti-bounce" suspension.<br />
LS 2.20<br />
An agronomic ...<br />
or economic choice<br />
• This 2 row coulter drilling system can be selected as<br />
it is, or fitted with 40 mm wide consolidation<br />
wheels (see description opposite)<br />
• Regardless of your choice, you will benefit from the<br />
same height clearance and row spacing as the<br />
LS 3.20 model.<br />
Centralised “double effect”<br />
setting (see explanation page 7)<br />
At the back of the OPTILINE MP is an<br />
accessible handle and a graduated<br />
quadrant, allowing the required<br />
pressure to be obtained.<br />
For rape and small seeds, the OPTILINE<br />
MP's drilling system is also<br />
characterised by its “double effect”<br />
setting – allowing the possibility of<br />
total pressure relief (pressure range<br />
between 0 and 20 kg).<br />

OPTILINE<br />
UNIDISC version : even<br />
better suited to simplfied drilling<br />
For drilling onto plant trash<br />
■ Better flow of long trash thanks to the wide clearance<br />
between rows ( >300 mm)<br />
■ Total vertical clearance : better flow of soil and better<br />
anti-bounce effect from the springs placed overhead<br />
(protected against blockages from soil or trash)<br />
■ A large diameter disc (300 mm), to easily get through<br />
plant trash and firmly open a furrow even with deep<br />

Exclusive : the “double effect” depth<br />
control<br />
• In the raised position, the SULKY “double effect”<br />
ensures almost total pressure relief on the drilling<br />
element. This advantage is decisive with shallow<br />
drilling (rape, grass…) and onto light soils with disc<br />
elements, that are evidently heavier than Suffolk<br />
coulters ;<br />
40 mm consolidation wheel<br />
• Ensures even drilling depth and efficient soil<br />
consolidation along the row<br />
• 12 settings, including a quick "disengaged" position<br />
during use, a considerable advantage in unpredictable<br />
weather conditions<br />
Extending the spring<br />
releases pressure from the<br />
drilling element<br />
• In the lowered position, it's the opposite effect, you<br />
have all the required pressure, up to 20 kg with the<br />
LS 2.20 toolbar with coulters and up to 30 kg with<br />
the LS 2.30 toolbar with Unidisc.<br />
Compressing the spring<br />
applies pressure to the<br />
drilling element<br />
A simple and strong design<br />
■ Zero maintenance discs<br />
■ Central double row ball bearing<br />
■ Extra strong, boron treated forged<br />
steel discs (French origin)<br />
■ Cast-iron coulter<br />
■ Anti-blockage downspout<br />
(useful on ploughing)<br />

Central depth adjustment through<br />
parallelograms<br />
Up to 80 kg<br />
pressure<br />
This is easily set thanks to<br />
ratchet tie-rods on both sides<br />
and not in the centre therefore<br />
keeping the operator from<br />
climbing over the drilling<br />
elements at the rear. These<br />
rods adjust precisely the<br />
parallelogram length that<br />
connect the CULTIDISC carrying<br />
frame to the drill frame.<br />
560 mm : a record “antiblockage” clearance between rows<br />
All the drilling elements are the same length so they have exactly<br />
the same characteristics at work.<br />
A 415 mm diameter notched monodisc, with only a 4° angle : the ideal compromise<br />
between power and penetration, capable of clearing straw stalks from the furrow and<br />
keeping motricity through damp conditions.<br />
Streamlined coulter, well receded behind the rear of the disc and reinforced with<br />
tungsten carbide : optimum passage across plant trash, least mouvement of the<br />
seedbed and incredible working life.<br />
Air vent to slow the seed down and ensure placement without any rebounds,<br />
especially at high forward speeds ; also in case the coulter gets<br />
blocked, the air vent provides an escape hole for the<br />
seed.<br />
Full press wheel, 50 mm wide, with multiple<br />
pressure setting positions : immediate and<br />
adjustable soil/seed contact, as well as a<br />
retracted position (damp soil)<br />
Up to 80 kg individual pressure through<br />
centralised setting on parallelograms : the<br />
drilling elements always work on a flat surface<br />
for controlled working depth, even without the<br />
press wheels.<br />
Reduced maintenance : zero maintenance<br />
c-springs, double row ball bearings protected against agressions.<br />

OPTILINE PRO : rely on it<br />
for all sorts of missions…<br />
New<br />
OPTILINE PRO : for contractors, machinery rings, difficult areas…<br />
Ask a lot from your drill combination<br />
Emergence of Wheat sown with an OPTILINE PRO after Maize<br />
The OPTILINE PRO provides 4 main advantages :<br />
1) the manouvrability and weight transfer obtained<br />
with a mounted combination seed drill ;<br />
2) the versatility of a power harrow, especially with<br />
their “4 rotors/metre”, on the SULKY CULTILINE as<br />
well as quick-fit tines ;<br />
3) quality seed placement, even in difficult<br />
conditions, with a finely adjustable “80 kg” disc<br />
toolbar (parallelograms)<br />
4) the reliability of a drill combination made by<br />
SULKY.<br />

OPTILINE<br />
SULKY's "row by row" peg<br />
wheel metering :<br />
smoothness and precision<br />
The hopper<br />
With 750 litres or 1 050 litres depending on the model,<br />
the OPTILINE range has a large capacity. Optional<br />
hopper extensions bring the capacity to 1 100 litres or<br />
to 1 650 litres, which enables you to drill even more<br />
between refills.<br />
When fully open, the largest hopper provides a 2.20 m<br />
loading width, which suits all filling techniques (bags,<br />
Big-Bags, bulk).<br />
The V-shaped hopper cover is convenient for handling,<br />
and has been carefully designed to keep out rain and<br />
dust. A mechanical seed level indicator is part of the<br />
basic features.<br />
The metering<br />
drive<br />
A steady rate, at the required<br />
seed density<br />
The peg wheels are driven by a<br />
continually rotating variator,<br />
providing a complete range of<br />
settings between 1.5 and 400<br />
kg/hectare.<br />
It guarantees outstanding<br />
precision with small seeds<br />
(rape) as well as large seeds<br />
(peas).<br />
It's driven without any wheel slip by a large diameter<br />
landwheel (76 cm). This D.P.A. wheel can be locked in<br />
the raised position. Thanks to the "free-wheel"<br />
mounting, the variator is protected against accidental<br />
reversing for example.<br />
The OPTILINE variator can be run with the MS System,<br />
an electric actuator device operated through an in-cab<br />
control box (rate calibration assistance and seed rate<br />
adjustment - see pages 12-13).<br />
The rate calibration test<br />
This is carried out quickly and safely in a stationary<br />
position, with the seed drill on the ground, thanks to a<br />
handle and an easy-to-use tray.<br />
With just one weighing operation, it is possible to<br />
read the correct rate setting mark directly from the<br />
SULKY scale. Field tests in real conditions are easier<br />
which are still recommended by SULKY for accuracy in<br />
all conditions.<br />
The one-piece hopper<br />
base with its compact<br />
metering units, totally<br />
unobstructed interior and<br />
an anti-compaction baffle<br />
as standard :<br />
- encourages seed flow towards the metering units on<br />
sloping land and when the hopper is nearly empty<br />
- reduces the minimum seed quantity necessary for<br />
metering<br />
- makes it easier to empty and clean the hopper.<br />
10
AIR FLOW<br />
The metering<br />
Precision and gentle seed handling<br />
The slowly rotating agitator enables the seeds to<br />
pass gently from the hopper to the peg wheels. Each<br />
wheel consists of a fine-tooth wheel for small<br />
seeds (e.g. rape) and a coarse peg wheel for<br />
cereals, peas, beans etc.<br />
Obturators are supplied as standard so that large<br />
seed wheels can be closed off quickly to allow<br />
sowing with small seeds.<br />
Reliability and versatility<br />
The staggered layout of the pegs on the wheel for<br />
large seeds provides an even supply to each row.<br />
The new self-adjusting bottom flap comes with<br />
a series of adjustment notches and so can easily be<br />
matched to the seed size using a convenient lever.<br />
In its standard configuration, SULKY’s "row by row"<br />
metering enables one row in two (or one row in 3)<br />
to be sown, and the disengagement of a half-width,<br />
on the left as well as on the right. It is suited to high<br />
speed drilling operations with high rates and will<br />
remain free of blockages at forward speeds of over<br />
14 km/h.<br />
Post-emergence tramlining<br />
OPTILINE's are delivered pre-fitted for metering<br />
disengagement (2 x 2 or 2 x 3 as an option), in<br />
order to mark tramlines for later operations, for<br />
tracks between 1.60m and 2.40m wide.<br />
▲<br />
Each SULKY metering row is made<br />
up of :<br />
- A peg wheel fitted on the<br />
drive shaft with roller<br />
bearings<br />
- An individual on/off shutter<br />
- A base flap that can easily<br />
be set to seed size<br />

OPTILINE<br />
SULKY options for tramlining<br />
and drilling management<br />
Pioneer of automatic tramlining, SULKY has gradually widened its range with real drilling management control<br />
boxes, which now provide the operator an easy way to monitor his work over time.<br />
1<br />
ULTRON electronic control box : simple and complete<br />
■ Disconnecting 4 metering wheels (2 x 2 rows, or 2 x 3 rows optional)<br />
depending on the chosen tramlining rhythm (automatic pass counting based on<br />
hydraulic side marker changing);<br />
■ Alarms for the end of hopper and anomaly with the metering rotation;<br />
■ On-screen information : forward speed, area covered (partial and total), the<br />
STOP button enables the counter to be momentarily stopped if the driver has to<br />
lift a marker to go around an obstacle (tree, pylon).<br />
2 ULTRON MS electronic control box :<br />
in addition, modulation<br />
This box has all the same functions as the ULTRON while incorporating the<br />
following additional functions.<br />
■ Rate calibration assistance* : simply display on-screen the weight obtained<br />
during the calibration test, then the required rate/ha, and the control box will<br />
automatically position the setting marker on the variator through an electric<br />
actuator.<br />
■ Rate modulation* : during work, by +/- 10% stages (1), for example to<br />
increase seed rate when approaching a more difficult area or to drill double<br />
density plots (monitoring nitrogen deficiency on arable crops)<br />
■ On/off rate control.<br />
3 MEDION electronic control box :<br />
the fundamentals<br />
This economical box provides the main functions : automatic<br />
tramlining, STOP button, on-screen information.<br />
(1) These 10% stages can, depending on requirements, be adjusted (5% stages for example).<br />
* Except for low rates/ha < 5 kg (ex : Rape)<br />
12
ULTRON MS and VISION<br />
SPB electronic kits : at the<br />
variator, there is an electric<br />
actuator (positioning sensor)<br />
which is controlled in-cab. If<br />
the situation demands it, the<br />
driver can easily return to<br />
manual rate setting controls:<br />
he simply has to unclip the<br />
electric actuator from the<br />
variator.<br />
VISION SPB kit :<br />
“precision” electronics<br />
Of the latest generation, this box ensures the same<br />
functions of the ULTRON MS as well as :<br />
• Possibility of recording tasks carried out<br />
• Opening up to new " precision " farming<br />
technologies.<br />

OPTILINE<br />
Options for your<br />
efficiency, security<br />
and your comfort<br />
The following harrow<br />
It ensures seed is covered correctly and the seedbed is<br />
levelled ; depending on the seed type and drilling<br />
conditions (dampness, presence of plant trash), there are<br />
several harrow settings, both in terms of pressure as<br />
well as angle.<br />
Straight tines or cranked levelling tines are available as<br />
required.<br />
Pressure<br />
adjustment<br />
Angle<br />
adjustment<br />
Drilling depth modulation<br />
(not available on OPTILINE PRO)<br />
This equipment enables toolbar pressure to be adjusted<br />
from the cab. An initial precise setting is obtained with<br />
the handle. During work, when crossing a more<br />
compacted area (headlands for example), operating an<br />
hydraulic spool (1 DA) will increase the drilling pressure<br />
to the required amount.<br />
Advanced side markers<br />
The OPTILINE range has strong side markers as<br />
standard (rigid tube arms).<br />
These "centreline" markers leave a trace down the<br />
centre of the tractor, making driving more accurate and<br />
more pleasant.<br />
They are vertically raised (SA hydraulics), and make it<br />
easier to drill close to field borders and pass around<br />
pylons, trees etc.<br />
With wide-diameter discs fitted on ball bearings, they<br />
leave a clearly visible mark.<br />
Straight tines<br />
Upon request, with a SULKY Cultiline power<br />
harrow, the markers can be factory fitted onto the<br />
harrow, leading to a further reduction in effort to raise<br />
the drill combination.<br />
Double security side markers : a shear bolt in the event<br />
of a collision (passive security) and fitted on a spring tine<br />
to cushion impacts on the marker disc (active security).<br />
Rear pre-emergence markers<br />
They are automatically lowered during metering<br />
disengagement at the start of a tramlining pass.<br />
Adjustable within a wheelbase of 1.60 m to 2.40<br />
m, they ensure perfect adaptation to the sprayer<br />
track of the farm.<br />

• This fan air filter is a recommended option in difficult<br />
working conditions: abrasive dust, unploughed fields …<br />
(standard on OPTILINE PRO)<br />
• Hydraulically driven fan<br />
This option enables the fan rpm to be kept at a steady<br />
rate, even if the tractor PTO is disengaged or the engine<br />
speed fluctuates. It includes a pressure gauge and<br />
requires a single-acting hydraulic spool valve with<br />
separate, free-flow return. (standard on OPTILINE PRO)<br />
• Hopper extensions<br />
They add a further 350 litres capacity (3.00m) or 600<br />
litres (3.50 m, 4.00m and 4.50m).<br />
Equipped with shockproof corners, there is no risk of<br />
damage to your Big-Bags.<br />
• Full road lighting<br />
Depending on local regulations, this equipment allows<br />
you to blend in with local road traffic in full safety.<br />
Specific options<br />
for the OPTILINE PRO<br />
Levelling tines soil preparation<br />
module (optional)<br />
Interesting at the start of the season on previously<br />
prepared soils, it replaces the power harrow. This set-up<br />
makes best use of available horsepower that can be seen<br />
by high forward speeds averaging over 15 km/h.<br />
Link between toolbar and roller<br />
This standard option guarantees that the drilling<br />
elements are maintained at the correct depth<br />
independent of tine wear on the soil preparation<br />
implement. There is a choice between a versatile "large<br />
diameter" Packer roller and a Farmflex® roller.<br />
Solo fitting kit<br />
This kit allows you to work the OPTILINE PRO alone,<br />
without any soil preparation implement, transfering<br />
weight onto the roller (roller not included in fitting kit).<br />
Beneficial features<br />
• Ultra robust heavy-duty double frame: 100 mm<br />
square tube frame and strengthened levelling tine<br />
support frame<br />
• Pin-adjusted levelling tine angle<br />
• Hydraulic depth adjustment (including complete<br />
withdrawal if faced with a mass of plant trash) via<br />
"single acting" rams with a working range of<br />
between 6 and 15 cm.<br />
• High levelling capacity: 5 tines per metre on 2 rows<br />
• Interchangeable wearing part (50 x 10 mm) bolted<br />
onto tine tip<br />
• Adjustable side deflector plates for ridge-free passes<br />
• Two pairs of height-adjustable track eradicator tines<br />
with shear bolt security (optional).<br />

Storage stands<br />
They ensure that the OPTILINE MP has all the stability<br />
required and of course are part of the basic features.<br />
Automatic “A-frame” coupling<br />
This device is indispensable for operator safety for<br />
coupling or uncoupling the seed drill to a cultivator<br />
already present on the farm.<br />
The SULKY catalogue offers more than twenty kits<br />
corresponding to most major implement brands. The<br />
SULKY automatic coupling also has a protection<br />
casing for the OPTILINE MP's fan drive.<br />
Link between toolbar<br />
and Packer roller (1)<br />
Thanks to this type of link, OPTILINE MP seed drills<br />
offer a constant drilling depth that is unmoved by the<br />
progressive wear of the power harrow tines. You also<br />
benefit from optimum positioning of the sowing<br />
elements during the entire sowing operation.<br />
Setting links by parallelograms<br />
These adjustments enable the overhang of the machine<br />
to be even more reduced, especially if the cultivation<br />
implement is equipped with a large diameter roller.<br />
