TUME GEMINI 6000: a new type of drill


Tume Gemini is based on  Nova Combi seeding technology. There is 2 pcs. of 3 meters machines,  which are connected to each others.  During transport the transport wheels of of the machines are opposite each other. Supporting/transport wheel with a hydraulic motor is at the back of the combination. It is used to connect the machines next to each others into a seeding position. Gemini is installed from transport position to working position in 2-3 minutes.



Efficient and safe
Gemini's working width is 6 meters. Combined with the total hopper capacity of 6500 litres Gemini is by far the most efficient seeder in the class of its size. Due to its mechanical structure it fast and easy to use and its daily maintenance requirements are minimal. In transport position the Gemini's transporting width is 3 metres, which confirms  easy and safe transport.


Its hopper capacity is very large.
The middle wall between the hoppers is adjustable and the total capacity of the hoppers are 6,500 litres. The machine has a low filling height, making filling the tanks very easy. The hoppers are easily accessible from every direction. Gemini does not require new filling technique




The power requirement is low
Gemini's need for pulling force is low and the seeding is successful using a 147kW (200 hp) tractor. Thus the general costs of the combination are kept low.

Precise feeding equipment and coulters
The feeding equipment of Gemini seeding fertiliser consists of a precise and reliable fluted rollers and the double-disc coulters developed by Tume. The precision of the feeding equipment and coulters can be seen from the several back-to-back seeding competitions won by Nova Combi during the past year.


    •The rape seeding contest performed by Koneviesti in Loimaa 2009
    •The autumn rapeseed seeding contest in Sweden 2009                                     (Hushållninssällskapet i Västmanland)
   
    •The malting barley seeding test organised by Lantmannen in Sweden               2009-2010. (Lantmannen October 2010).
               


Tume Gemini is introduced to the market with careful product development work and convincing seeding tests as its background. Thus it complements well the Tume product range for sale, both in Finland and export.
