Choose the 5400's High-Residue parallel linage opener
when you need the flexibility to seed in almost any condition
from clean tilled to untilled. This rugged parallel
link opener features a heavy ductile iron casting connected
to the drill frame via 4, 11/2" x 1 1/2" steel parallel
link arms that provide a full 10" of vertical travel.
The parallel link opener utilizes one 16" notched coulter
mounted at a slight angle to cut residue and begin opening
the seed trench. Following the leading blade is a 13 1/2"
smooth disc blade which finished opening and forming the seed
trench. |
Krause offers the patented Precision Opener on the
5400 Series for situations where precise depth control is
preferred over high residue handling ability. The
Precision Opener is an unbeatable choice for small grains,
alfalfa, grain sorghum etc. seeded into conventional or minimum
till situations. A 4" x 12" chevron tread depth
gauging wheel in front of the double disc opener, followed
by an adjustable depth press wheel, allows the Precision Opener
to traverse uneven terrain while maintaining precise seeding
depth control. Only the Precision Opener can gauge depth accurately
and consistently for shallow seeded crops like alfalfa. |
Heavy-Duty 6" diameter rocker shaft provides load carrying
strength for the 5400. Automatic road locks add an additional
measure of safety when transporting. Adjustable depth stops
on the main frame allow fine tuning for hard or soft ground
conditions. |
Wing drive wheels are big 31 x 13.5-15" for
added flotation in soft or powdery soils. The center
drive wheel floats while the wing drive wheels feature a turnbuckle
adjustment that allows the operator to vary tilled conditions
the drive wheels can be set to carry some of the drills weight,
while in untilled conditions weight can be taken off the wheels
to transfer more of the drill weight to the openers. |
Krause's exclusive "Cam-Stop" depth control
accurately sets seeding depth in 1/4" increments.
Depth changes are made by simply moving a spring loaded lever
located conveniently at the rear of each opener. The "Cam-Stop"
adjustment can't "freeze up" and eliminates variance
between the row settings. |
The 5400's High-Residue parallel link opener offers
superior residue cutting and penetration ability.
The smooth disc trails the notched coulter by 2 1/2"
for aggressive performance in standing crop residues. The
parallel link openers are mounted from two separate frame
beams with a generous 13" stagger for excellent residue
flow through. |
A new exclusive feature on 5400 Series drills is the
addition of massive walking beam tandem wheels on the center
frame. Walking tandems add field performance in uneven
ground and outperform side by side duals when transporting
the drill. |
Dual hydraulic markers are available that fold flat
when not in use. Shear bolts allow the markers to
"break away" to avoid serious damage if an obstruction
is encountered. A 14" notched blade with depth band is
standard equipment. |
