What the u-drill is used for
The u-drill suits cereal establishment in min-till systems, combining disc cultivation, packer consolidation and seeding in one pass. It is appropriate where British arable farms want to make efficient use of suitable weather and soil conditions.
As with any cultivated drill, assess residue, soil structure and the required level of disturbance before choosing the system. The given specification supports one-pass min-till drilling, rather than claiming direct-drilling capability or specialist maize and sugar-beet planting.
Why the Kverneland u-drill stands out
The u-drill's compact trailed combi layout integrates disc cultivation, a packer and seeding, with double-disc coulters for seed placement. Its 3 to 6 m working-width range offers a practical balance of output and manoeuvrability. Used buyers should judge how evenly every element works together across the full machine.
Buying a used Kverneland u-drill
For a used u-drill, inspect the double-disc coulters, cultivation discs, packer, bearings, seed tubes, metering equipment, hopper, hydraulic lines, drawbar and folding components. Look for uneven wear, hydraulic leaks, corrosion and past repairs around high-load areas. Check that the disc, packer and seeding sections work evenly and obtain serial details and service history. Have it inspected where appropriate. Confirm figures and originality against TractorData.com and club records; values vary by condition, so check current listings rather than a fixed price.
