Better Crop Establishment Starts With Better Seed Placement
Every crop has challenges. Here's how Tume Nova Combi helps solve them.
Sowing Windows often too small for best crop establishment
Large Hopper capacities plus sowing speeds up to 16km/hr
Nova Combi has a complete terrain following system solving this problem.
Uneven sowing depth due to undulation
Nova Combi seed drills apply up to 200kg downward force per disc gang
Difficulties handling Trash / existing pastures
Nova Combi has 1 Metering wheel per seed and Fertiliser boot.
Poor seed row spacing
Tume will roll over rocks or purchase a Kivi Pekka Stone Picker.

What Owners Say
"Accurate, Easy and very reliable"
Andrew Hoopell
Tume Nova Combi 3m | Farmer | Malmsbury VIC
Andrew purchased the Tume Nova Combi 3m Seed Drill 5 years ago and has used it for his livestock operation improving pastures and incorporating and pasture hay crops.
Frequently Asked Questions
What crops can I sow?
You can grow cereal, pasture, pulse, legume and large seed crops such as corn and soy bean. Sowing rates start at 0.5 kg/ha.
How accurate is seed depth placement?
Very. Due to the front guide wheels rolling the soil in front of the seed coulters, they will follow the terrain and maintain a consistent seed depth across the full width of the 3m or 4m Nova Combi Seed Drills.
Is seed and fertiliser distributed through the same boot?
No, the seed and fertiliser are distributed through separate seed boots and are even placed at different heights in the soil. The fertiliser is distributed lower than the see allowing for the roots of the germinated seeds to access the fertilised soils below the seeds.
How accurate is the seed distributed along the rows?
Each seed boot received seed from an individual metering roller (gravity fed) which is driven off a ground engaged wheel. This is a simple and very reliable system to ensure ultimate seed accuracy along the rows. The full Section control machines have a 2 x section setup allowing for more accurate seed placement along the rows when sowing along contours. Watch the video above for a demonstration.
What backup support is provided?
KIVI-PEKKA Australia provides direct parts, technical support and customer assistance nationwide. We provide after hours support. If you have a question, require support or want to find out more about the Stone Pickers, please call Will on 0439 553 225.
What tractor size is required?
The 3m Nova Combi requires 90hp minimum and the 4m Nova Combi requires 120hp minimum.
Can I speak to an existing owner?
Yes. We are happy to connect prospective buyers with existing Tume owners. We will match you with a current owner who has years of experience so you get the best feedback from someone first hand who has ample experience with our Stone Pickers.
