Pseudo-precision system for row crops, maize / sunflowers
T-ForcePlus 650
T-ForcePlus 650
The T-ForcePlus 650 is the Novag that meets the requirements of medium to large farms. It appeals to farms that are involved in conservation agriculture and are looking for ways to improve seed placement or push the boundaries of crop rotation further. In this context, the T-ForcePlus 650 is an investment that can deliver high returns in a short space of time, as Novag technology brings considerable benefits even in the early stages of the transformation process. The frame of the T-ForcePlus 650 is compact. Thanks to the folding system and simple layout, the machine is easy to operate. The large hoppers are easily accessible and the coulter configurations are versatile. The robustness and low maintenance requirements of the machine and the openers significantly reduce downtimes.
The T-SlotPlus system from Novag ensures optimum seed placement and therefore reliable yields, even in difficult no-till conditions. The special T-slot shape is created by a vertical disc and two T-shaped Seed blades, which place the seed and fertilizer separately to the side.
Lots of pressure, but intelligently
Soil resistance varies greatly – due to compaction, stones or changing soil types. The IntelliForcePlus system automatically adjusts the coulter pressure for a constant sowing depth, especially with no-till.
Sensors on the Press wheels measure the resistance, hydraulic cylinders regulate the pressure individually for each opener (up to 500 kg and 430 mm stroke). Thanks to the parallelogram, each opener always remains stable and in precise contact with the ground
The main hopper of the T-ForcePlus 650 and 750 has a capacity of 5,400 liters and is divided into two separate compartments to ensure reliable separation of seed and fertilizer. The volume distribution can be flexibly adjusted as required – either 55 / 45 % or 33 / 66 %. This allows the ratio to be optimally adapted to different crops, seed quantities or fertilizer strategies. Both chambers can convey their products to each openers independently of each other – whether on the front or rear seed bar. This means that combined applications such as seed + fertilizer or two different crops are also possible without any problems.
As an option, up to two 120-liter additional tanks can be mounted at the rear, for example for fine seeds, slug pellets or micro-granules.
This means that a total of up to four different products can be spread simultaneously.
All metering units are driven by hydraulic motors, which promises constant performance – even at low speeds, without overheating or loss of torque. The calibration process is fast, precise and intuitive – in line with modern, efficient direct seeding technology.
The generously dimensioned fan is equipped with an oil cooler / air warmer, which ensures a strong & dry air flow – even during long working days late into the night.
Additional tanks
The optional additional hoppers from Novag offer maximum flexibility when sowing. Up to two 120-liter hoppers can be added for precise metering of fine seeds, micro-granules or slug pellets.
The products can either be introduced into the air flow of the main tanks or applied separately – either in front of the openers to sow small seeds slightly covered, or at the rear, typically for slug pellet application.
Selective selection of openers
Twin Row
Double rows are also possible quickly and easily thanks to the hydraulic single coulter shut-off. This means, for example, that maize with a general coulter spacing of 18.75 cm can be sown with only 2 out of 4 openers.
This results in a double row, which has a center distance of 75 cm to the next double row.
Alternatively, there is IntelliRow, a Pseudo-singulation system which, with the additional tanks, ensures precise placement, especially of sugar beet and sunflowers.
Intelligence in every row
The Novag IntelliHead system takes seed distribution to a new level:
Each outlet from the distributor head is equipped with an electrically controlled flap. This allows individual selection of active openers and automatic shut-off of sections to avoid overlapping.
At the same time, the seed flow is monitored in real time, giving you a constant overview of the distribution.
The ISOBUS interface including Dynamic DDOP ensures full integration into common tractor systems – manual selection of any tramline switching is also possible without any problems.
Hydraulically driven dosing units
The T-ForcePlus 650 and the larger models use the IntelliCore+ Metering units.
It offers a selection of flexible metering rotors that are optimally matched to different seed and fertilizer grain sizes and sowing rates. Maintenance is particularly easy and the rotors can be changed in just a few simple steps, even when the hoppers are full.
The seed rate is adjusted to the speed in real time in order to precisely meet the target rate. Optionally, the seed rate can be adjusted on a site-specific prescription maps.
A powerful fan with integrated oil cooler and air preheater ensures optimum working conditions at any temperature.
Thanks to the central axle design, the turning circle of the T-ForcePlus 650 is impressively small despite the size of the machine. This enables shorter headlands and maximum utilization of the field potential.
The load transfer to the tractor is optimally balanced and ensures the best compromise between traction and coulter pressure in all situations.
The two-part folding system on the T-ForcePlus 650 makes it even more practical:
The machine can be folded to a transport width of 3 meters – for safe road transport with European approval up to 40 km/h.
The folding system also facilitates access under the front hopper, making maintenance and inspection easier. Automatic locking hooks ensure maximum safety on the road.
Larger contact area – Less soil compaction
In wet or difficult soil conditions, soil compaction is a key issue for every farmer. Thanks to Novag’s intelligent design and robust tire and track solutions, the soil remains protected – and the work is done efficiently.
Soil-friendly tires
By optimally adjusting the tire pressure from road to field use, the weight is evenly distributed – and the ground pressure is significantly reduced.
Adapted tire pressure is crucial to avoid compaction. Although Novag does not offer a factory-fitted tire pressure regulation system, the axles are pre-drilled so that this useful system can be easily retrofitted.
Ballasting option – maximum performance on any soil
The Novag T-ForcePlus 650 can be optionally equipped with ballast weights in the wings for particularly tough conditions, such as in summer directly after harvesting.
Two 650 kg ballast plates can be mounted in each wing – a total of over 2.6 t of additional weight. These plates are easy to remove so that the machine can be optimally adapted to the ground conditions.
With full ballast, the maximum coulter pressure of up to 500 kg per openers can be guaranteed – ideal for hard or dry soils directly after harvesting.
Without additional weights, it works easily and gently on damp or soft surfaces.
