Kongskilde NCS 1500 series

Front hopper NS1500/NS1900
The NS 1500 front hopper can be used in combination with a drill, but also for the application of fertilizer. In conjunction with a Potato planter, maize drill or sugar beet drill the NS front hopper allows the fertilizer to be applied in one pass. It is also possible
to combine the application of fertilizer with row crop cleaning.

The NS 1500 applies fertilizer with high precision due to the accurate distribution system. Applying fertilizer in a concentrated row close to the seed or plant can increase the efficiency of the material by 10 – 15%. The yield potential of the crop is also increased
when fertilizer is applied in this manner.

Applying fertilizer in combination with a planter also decreases the number of passes and therefore costs involved in
establishing a crop.

By utilizing the NS front hopper the carrying capacity is also increased, as the front hopper generally has more volume than a rear mounted hopper. The NS front hopper also
gives better weight distribution.

Increased utilization
In line fertilizer application utilizes the material, as it is concentrated in one row. This gives less variation and therefore loss.

The NS1500/NS1900 system
The NS system feeds the fertilizer from the hopper through 2 or 4 specially hardened plastic cell wheels. The fertilizer is then pneumatically transported in either 2 or 4 tubes
situated under the tractor, thus enabling a high rate of precision.

If it is necessary to transport the fertilizer more than 10 meters, the feeding system can be fitted with a rotary airlock unit,which
ensures the air pressure is kept high.

Gearbox
The NS 1500/1900 is fitted with a stepless mechanical gearbox. Alternatively an electronically driven motor can also offer a tepless feeding option. The electronic feeding
is controlled by an LH5000 computer.

Hopper
Two hopper capacities are available, 1500 or 1900 liters. The bottom of the hopper is made from stainless steel, essential when handling aggressive material such as
fertilizer.

Flexibility
The front hopper can be used either for applying fertilizer or in combination with a grain drill. This makes it flexible and economic.

The NS system is ideal for 2, 4 or 6-row potato planters, 4, 6, 8 or 12-row maize and sugar beet drills.

Standard equipment
• Hopper with stainless steel bottom
• Distribution tubes used for fitting under the tractor
