TD1601F e-bas Kubota TD1601F e-bas Specifications & Technical Data (2016—2021)

Transport position

Easy conversion from working to transport position. The transport width of 3.00m ensures safe road transport. Low lifting capacity is needed due to the close centre of gravity.

Electronic controls

There are two machine control systems available for the TD1001F: Option No. 1 is the e-bas system which includes the basic electronics to run and monitor the machine functions via the Focus 3 terminal. The e-bas system controls the ELDOS metering device, tramlining, the hectare count and fan speed control. Option No. 2 is the e-com system which offers even more options required by the professional farmer. With the e-com system the TD1001F is fully ISOBUS compatible and ready for plug & play! Using an industry standard plug, the machine is connected directly to the ISOBUS terminal of an ISO compliant tractor (DIN-ISO 11873). All machine information and control functions are shown on the tractor virtual terminal, no additional monitor is necessary. Auto on/off function using GEOcontrol and a GPS signal is possible which avoids double seeding on the headland. If the tractor is not equipped with an ISOBUS compatible system, the TD1001F can be controlled by the Kubota own IsoMatch Tellus GO or IsoMatch Tellus terminals.

Fan Drive

The standard hydraulically driven fan is positioned at the rear of the machine and integrated in the frame concept. Mechanical fan drive is an option (540/ 850/ 1.000 rpm). The integrated position of the fan makes the mechanical drive connection simpler and ensures smoother running. Other hydraulic fan drive options to suit all tractor systems are also available.

IsoMatch Tellus

The IsoMatch Tellus is the first ISOBUS terminal in the world with the capability to operate 2 different (machine) screens through 1 terminal, without the need to constantly toggle between screens.

Following harrow

Effective seed covering after sowing is ensured by the twin row precision following harrow section as standard equipment. The special design of the tines allows even high quantities of damp plant residues to pass through the harrow without blocking. Optional the TD1001F series can be equipped with the two rows finger harrow for extremly stony conditions. The harrow pressure and its aggressiveness can be adjusted via the spring pressure adjustment and the angle of the harrow bar.

Following harrow and press wheels

As an option the TD1001F series is equipped with a one-row V-harrow and press wheels. This offers the option of applying additional pressure by the continuously adjustable press wheel. Like the following harrow, the optional press wheels are divided into three sections. The pressure can be infinitely adjusted via the screw adjusters. If the seed press wheels are not required due to very humid conditions, they can be completely lifted.

TD1001F Series Overview

The Kubota TD1001F series is setting the benchmark within this class of machinery. In particular, the easy handling and the wide range of equipment characterises the TD1001F series. Various options combined with high performance make the TD1001F series a real alternative among crop establishment systems. Especially in extreme conditions, for example, humid soil or high crop residues, the advantages of the TD1001F series become evident.

Five rows of tines

The intelligent arrangement of the seeding tines over five rows allows the TD1001F series to maintain even seed depth across the seedbed and in conditions with high amounts of crop residues. The symmetrical distribution of the rear row of tines ensures excellent seed depth and levelling. The TD1001F series is available with tine spacings of 12.5 or 15cm.

Wheel equipment

Equipped with the largest profile wheels of any machine in its class (11.5/80-15.3 10PR), the TD1001F series offers significant advantages. The large diameter wheels of the TD1001F series run smoothly and easily, and the tyre pressure of around one bar ensures the footprint of the machine is significantly reduced. Deep wheelings are avoided while the seed bed is protected against compaction. The infinite depth adjustment and thus the sowing depth are precisely controlled with the TD1001F series wheel equipment.

Wheels mounted in the centre – excellent ground contour following

With the ability to follow undulating land, the TD1001F series proves its quality. Due to the central position of the land wheels within the main frame, the TD1001F series adapts perfectly to the ground contours. In comparison to implements with front mounted landwheels, the design of the TD1001F series equalises the distance between the tine rows and the landwheels. Thus, the impact on the sowing depth when working on slopes or uneven ground is reduced considerably. With the TD1001F series, the sowing depth is simply more precise.

Tines in front of the landwheel – even running under all conditions

A tine in front of each landwheel levels the soil and ensures an even and steady running of the seeder, which is a prerequisite for the accurate depth control and seed placement with tine seeders. Due to the design of the TD1001F series, seeding can be carried out in a crossways direction to the previous cultivation operations.

Side depth control wheels

For machines with working widths over 4.5m, the TD1001F series is equipped with additional depth control wheels (2x20.5x8.0-10; 6PR) mounted on the wing sections. These are continuously adjustable in depth and support the smooth running and even depth control of the seed placement. The depth control wheels also assist the free-floating wing sections to follow lateral ground contours.

The tine – well proven

The seeding tines of the TD1001F are made of high quality spring steel fitted with the Kubota leaf-spring autoreset overload protection. To ensure the free flow of crop residues through the machine, the tines are arranged in an offset configuration over five rows. A new patented seed outlet, which has no screws in the seed outlet tube, ensures perfect seed placement. The TD1001F series is available with either 12.5 or 15cm row spacing. The special design of the tines reduces the tractor power requirement and ensures uniform seed depth placement. Also, in extremely humid and sticky soils, the TD1001F series ensures perfect seeding results.

Working depth

User-friendly adjustment and clear scales facilitate easy setting of the machine depth and allow quick return to previous positions. With no tools required, the adjustment of the TD1001F models can be changed from shallow oil-seed rape seeding to deeper wheat seeding with a minimum of delay. The horizontal alignment of the machine is controlled by a simple indicator at the hopper.

Universal application

The flexibility of the TD1001F series allows its operation after the plough as well as after conservation tillage.

Track marker

On the TD1001F Series, the optional hydraulic track marker folds horizontally and is shear bolt overload protected. The notched disc ensures marking even in heavy mulch conditions. The track marker arms are actuated via double acting tractor spool valves.

Hopper capacity up to 1700 ltr.

With up to 1700 litres hopper capacity, the TD1001F offers one of the biggest hopper capacity in this product sector. Due to the optimised position of the hopper, the centre of gravity is close to the tractor. The sturdy hopper cover is protected from damage by an overload system when filling with Big Bags. The hopper sides are substantially steeper, which ensures complete emptying of the seed and also the position of distribution head is higher to gain more angle. A window located directly above the metering device enables the operator to monitor the hopper content from the tractor cab. The access steps and large loading platform offer safe and excellent access to the seed hopper.

Hopper features

An electronic low level sensor, adjustable from outside the tank, monitors a range of seeds from small quantities of rape to bigger seeds and larger quantities. The rotors, when not in use, are always ready to hand stored well protected against dust in a toolbox. There is also a calibration bag and scale. The loading steps and platform provide safe access for filling and inspection of the hopper.
