CONVENTIONAL AND CONSERVATION TILLAGE

Conventional Tillage

Conservation Tillage

Vertical Tillage / No-Till • Extensive method

Strip Tillage • Strip-wise loosening before or during seeding of up to 1/3 of the row width (Loibl, 2006). Up to 70% of the soil surface remains untouched • Strip-till combines the soil drying and warming benefits of conventional tillage with the soil- protecting advantages of no-till by disturbing only the area of the soil where the seeds are placed • Exact fertilising deposit • Soil protection against erosion and drought

Mulch Tillage • Reduced intensively in terms of depth and frequency • More than 30% of residues are left on soil surface • Extended repose period of the soil • Cultivator and/or discs incorporate the crop residues within the top 10cm of soil for stable bearing soil • Full-width tillage - seedbed preparation and seeding in one pass • Protection against soil erosions with reduced lost of soil and water • Improvement of soil moisture retention

Conventional Tillage • Intensive method of cultivation • Complete soil inversion e.g. by a plough • Less than 15-30% crop residues left on soil surface • Seedbed preparation done by an active tool or special seedbed harrow • High phytosanitary effect by reduced pressure of weed and fungi diseases - fewer herbicides and fungicides needed • Better dry-off and faster increase of soil temperature for better nutrients absorbation

• Working soil vertically avoids additional horizontal layers or density changes • Increasing water infiltration, root development and nutrient take-up • Plants’ roots dictate the overall health of the plant, as they deliver nutrients and water throughout, contributing to a higher yield • A strong set of roots make plants more resistant to wind and drought • Indirect energy input

HISTORY

PERFORMANCE DRIVEN

FOR THE FARMERS SATISFACTION

Kverneland is world renowned and unequalled in producing robust & light ploughs for high performance with low operating costs. Innovation from the start In 1879 at the age of 25, Ole Gabriel Kverneland founded his smithy business in a small village south of Stavanger, Norway. Brought up on a farm and educated in agriculture, he subsequently understood all the machinery requirements of farmers. He strongly believed in innovation and manage to produce a mouldboard plough able to withstand the very tough stony soil conditions of Norway. Over the years, he together with his team of engineers developed special steel heat treatment processes to allow his ploughs to work in the toughest of soil. Using these new steels of unique strength, Kverneland succeeded in manufacturing robust ploughs thus gaining a strong reputation for quality. Today, Kverneland is the leading manufacturer of ploughs with a very strong market position throughout the world.

CONTRIBUTING TO PROFITABILITY

Auto-reset The Kverneland Auto-reset guarantees a quality ploughing. The legs release independently one from another. Once the obstruction is passed, the plough body automatically returns to the correct ploughing depth. No downtime. The simple multi-leaf spring system does not require any maintenance either. In addition, the Kverneland Auto-reset system works by decompression, which reduces the stress on the tractor and guarantees its life time. When considering the price of a new tractor, these substantial savings are real contributors to your profitability. Knock-on ® Kverneland Knock-on ® points are changed in a few seconds. It makes sense to save 90% of your time in changing points when working in abrasive soils or when having a 5+ furrow plough.

Variomat ® , Auto-reset, Knock-on ® ... Innovations that facilitate the daily work.

A reliable plough is a must for Kverneland. Due to increasingly changing weather conditions, the window to be able to plough is sometimes very short. Kverneland ploughs are known for being easy to set and to adjust. Start working efficiently immediately. Variomat ® The Kverneland Variomat ® has a lot of benefits. By adjusting the ploughing width from the tractor cabin, you do not waste time stopping to make the working width adjustments. Variomat ® allows the optimal match between the soil conditions, the plough and the tractor for the optimal output. Variomat ® ensures the correct parallel linkage along the whole plough. The pulling line adjustments are hence automatic. Consequently, low draft requirements, low wear and tear, keep running costs low while the field is remarkably ploughed. The following operations are then eased.

HEAT TREATMENTS

KVERNELAND STEEL TECHNOLOGY

FOR THE COMPLETE PLOUGH

Kverneland’s unique steel More than 140 years of experience in developing special steels and heat treatment processes have resulted in an unsurpassed quality and wear resistance. The heat treatment processes are carried out and adapted not only to a few selected parts but to the complete plough. This results in ploughs lighter than competitors´ and extremely robust while delivering outstanding performance. Induction hardened frame To guarantee the durability of the plough, Kverneland heat treats the frame as well. Most competitors do not. The induction process allows using lesser steel than competitors, therefore less weight to pull and lift while ensuring a higher resistance.

Transport lock The headstocks are equipped with an integrated transport lock to transport the plough in the “butterfly” position. Front furrow width adjustment The width of the front furrow is adjusted separately, either with a turnbuckle or with a cylinder. Sequence valve The sequence valve controls the reversing cycle of the plough. It automatically activates an alignment valve which "narrows" the plough prior to reversal. After reversal, the plough returns to its working position. This system gives a smoother reversal of the plough bodies and is supplied as standard on all five and six furrow ED/LD ploughs. Memory valve The memory valve together with the memory-sequence valve, which is used on the large Variomat ® ploughs, is also activated during reversal. It closes the plough down

Three different headstocks The Kverneland program has three different headstocks. All of them are constructed from the highest quality steel and are subject to the special Kverneland heat treatment processes which infuse additional properties such as strength and hardness. Strong sealed roller bearings are used for years of trouble-free and maintenance free service. Smooth and safe turnover The headstocks employ a strong 80 mm turnover cylinder, positioned at the rear of the headstock mast to give correct and safe turnover, even for the largest ploughs. The design retains the proven Kverneland concept of having the centre of gravity close to the tractor in order to minimise lift requirement and to improve stability. Clever layout of hoses To avoid the risk of hose damage during the turnover operation, no hoses pass over the turning point of the headstock. Even the valve block is integrated.

to the narrowest ploughing width of 12” (30 cm) before reversing. Once the cycle is completed, it returns automatically to the pre-set furrow width. The memory valve is fitted to all five and six furrow EG/LB models. Also available for 4 furrow EG/LB and 4, 5, 6 furrow ES/LS models. Quick coupling All headstocks can be fitted with quick coupling cross shaft. Cross shaft The Kverneland cross shafts are supplied cat. II, III and IV.

VARIOMAT ®

OPTIMISED PRODUCTIVITY

Efficient The patented Kverneland Variomat ® is the most reliable system on the market. It allows the optimal match between the soil conditions, the plough and the tractor for the optimal output. By varying the furrow width, the work can be kept straighter. It is also easier to work up to the hedges and around obstacles.

The position of the headstock remains in the center of the tractor, all the time, ensuring a favorable and an even geometry of the three point linkage. Side pull and unnecessary high landside pressure are therefore avoided. Consequently, the Kverneland Auto-line system ensures an efficient ploughing with less fuel consumption. Maintenance free The Kverneland Variomat ® system is maintenance free thanks to a unique non wearing linkage joint between the beams and the mainframe section. The system consists of a robust 24 mm bolt, a distance tube, two special heat-treated cones and replaceable bushes. No need to spend time on lubrifications. The heat-treatment of high quality steels and exacting manufacturing accuracy guarantee perfect beam and body alignment with minimum wear. Optimise fuel consumption By adapting the working width to the soil conditions, the fuel consumption is optimised. Furthermore, when increasing the ploughing width, the fuel consumption per Ha gets reduced and hence profits are maximised.

By being able the adapt not only the depth but also the width of the furrows, the best results can hence be achieved.

Two different systems Kverneland Variomat ® is available in two variants: with hydraulic or mechanical adjustment of the furrow width. The hydraulic variant allows adjustments of the furrow width easily from the driver’s seat "On the Move". The pulling line adjusts automatically thanks to the auto-line. Reliable Auto-Line Kverneland Auto-line is a standard system which guarantees the correct pulling line at any time. When changing the working width, both front furrow width and pulling line adjust accordingly. Kverneland Auto-line system makes these adjustments automatically. No time spent on correcting/adjusting the pulling line when changing the working width.

Release characteristics The diagram shows the differences between three different Auto-reset systems, and how the pressure varies as the body rises (1 cm). Conclusion The unique Kverneland leaf spring Auto-reset system is highly recommended.

Benefits from Kverneland Auto-reset When hitting an obstacle, the pressure on the point, frame, plough parts, decreases. The stress on the plough is therefore reduced which guarantees a longer life to the plough. Each body releases independently one from another to come back to the correct ploughing depth once the obstable passed. This ensures a quality ploughing.

THE ANSWER FOR PLOUGHING WITH WIDE TYRES

Bodies No. 28 and No. 38 are Kverneland’s answer to ploughing with modern farm tractors equipped with wide tyres. Wide empty furrow Bodies No. 28 and No. 38 shape and action move the soil further away from the landside, increase the furrow bottom width by as much as 25% compared to body No. 9. This allows wide tractor tyres, like a 710 serie type, to work in the furrow without rolling down the previous furrow. Body No. 38 enables ploughing from shallow to deeper than body No. 28. Low pulling forces Body No. 28 is suitable for depths from 12 to 30 cm (5 to 12 inches) and widths from 30 to 55 cm (12 to 22 inches). Longer than body No. 8, it creates a flatter profile for an improved tilth. The furrow is well turned and packed. Bodies No. 28 & No. 38 clever design will require as little pulling force as body No. 8 or 9.

OPTIMISED FOR HEAVY TO EXTREME CONDITIONS

Smooth turnover Generally, large ploughs impose high forces on the tractor transmission and rear linkage, especially during turnover. To avoid this potential problem, Kverneland offers a frame alignment cylinder, which automatically narrows the plough prior to turnover. It centralises the mainframe to reduce the stress on both tractor and plough. Available for 5 and 6 furrow models. Front furrow adjustment The ED/LD is fitted with the Nº 200 or Nº 300 headstock depending on the size of the plough. As with all Kverneland reversible ploughs, manual front furrow width adjustment is standard. An optional hydraulic cylinder for "On the Move" adjustment is available. Easy working width changes Optimise the ploughing output to soil conditions and tractor size by changing the working width. Just reposition 1 bolt (5 cm steps). Different ploughing widths For 85 cm interbody clearance: 30-35-40-45 cm (12-18") For 100 cm interbody clearance: 30-35-40-45-50 cm (12-20") For 115 cm interbody clearance: 35-40-45-50-55 cm (14-22")

The ED/LD models are extendable with one body from 2 to 6 furrow ploughs max.

The ED/LD models are strongly built for efficient low cost ploughing in medium to heavy conditions. Still a fairly low weight plough compared to its robustness. Models differences The Kverneland ED is equipped with the unique Kverneland Auto-reset system whereas the LD has replaceable shearbolt protections. 2 versions: Kverneland ED/LD ploughs are built around a strong induction heat treated one box frame. Hence avoiding welding that would weaken the frame. The standard ED/LD is equipped with the headstock 200 and a 100 x 200 mm frame. When working in extra heavy conditions, the ED/LD HD (Heavy Duty) is recommended: 120 x 200 mm mainframe, heavier front support and headstock Nº 300.

ADAPTS TO ANY SOILS AND TRACTORS

Best Sellers The ES/LS models are Kverneland Best Sellers for decades. These are compact ploughs, easy to lift, equipped with the Variomat ® system to work in any soil conditions. Variomat ® ploughs The ES/LS are fitted with the Variomat ® for easy furrow width adjustments. This system helps you save time, optimise the output to the field conditions and save fuel consumption per Ha. Variations “On the Move“ The Variomat ® is simply operated via a turnbuckle or a hydraulic cylinder. The front furrow is adjusted separately in the same manner. With the hydraulic version, the working width can be adjusted "On the Move". For extra comfort while reversing, the ES/LS can be fitted with a sequence hydraulic automatically bringing the plough to the narrowest working width before turning. Model differences The ES is fitted with the well proven Kverneland Auto- reset system for stony conditions whilst the LS has shearbolt protections (4.200 kg release pressure).

Low lift requirements & more stability The first assembly mounted to the main support allows the plough to be as close as possible to the tractor. Therefore the lift requirements are significantly reduced compared to other brands. This smart design also contributes to a greater tractor and plough stability, particularly appreciated on hilly grounds.

Any 3, 4 and 5 furrow models can be extended by one body, max. 6 furrow plough.

Packomat is available for up to five furrow ES/LS ploughs. These ploughs feature a rear or a frame mounted wheel.

Constructed for year in, year out performance

For maximum strength and durability, the mainframe of the plough is constructed from only one induction heat- treated box section 150 x 150 mm (no welding that would weaken the frame robustness). The reliability and service life of a reversible plough mainly depends on the headstock. During both work and transport, this critical part of the plough is exposed to enormous stresses. The ES/LS are therefore fitted with the robust Kverneland headstock Nº 200. Suits all tractor models The smart design of the headstock Nº 200 allows easy adaptations to suit any tractors irrespectively of wheel widths or linkage geometry constraints.

No welding in order to avoid weaknesses. Available in 2 versions: Standard: 3-4 furrow EG/LB with a 100 x 200 mm mainframe and the headstock Nº 200. Heavy duty: 5-6 furrow ploughs with a 120 x 200 mm mainframe, a reinforced front section and the robust headstock Nº 300. The interbody clearance is 85, 100 or 115 cm. EG/LB main differences The LB plough is equipped with fixed legs protected by individual shearbolts, while the EG model is fitted with the well proven Kverneland Auto-reset system; maintenance free. Variomat ® benefits The Kverneland EG/LB feature the Variomat ® system, which not only increases output but also saves time, fuel and money. Ploughing and trash burrying performance improve too.

Automatic front furrow adjustment The Variomat ® system on the EG/LB allows the front furrow to be automatically repositioned. Therefore, the working width is kept equal from first to last body. It guarantees the precision of the overall ploughing performance. Comfort and quality A wide choice of setting options is offered and yet the EG/LB remain easy to use. For instance, the Auto-line system corrects the pulling line automatically. As with other Kverneland heavy duty mounted reversible ploughs, an alignment cylinder is incorporated within the mainframe to reduce stress on both tractor and plough during turnover. This, together with a unique memory system, ensures that the desired furrow width setting is maintained following the plough reversing cycle. Mechanical front furrow width adjustment is standard. However, a hydraulic cylinder is available and is recommended for ploughing on side slopes to control the front furrow width "On the Move".

KVERNELAND LO & LO VARIOMAT ® HIGH PERFORMANCE FOR ON-LAND AND IN-FURROW OPERATIONS

Maximise comfort The LO plough is easy to manoeuvre despite its size. The same plough offers In-furrow & On-land ploughing in a very easy manner: the driver has fingertip control. The main frame is hydaulically moved to the desired position.

Easy turnover Despite its large size, the LO plough remains easy to manoeuvre. The unique Kverneland steel reduces the weight of ploughs by 10-20% compared to competitors and hence lifting capacity requirements. The turnover is actually very smooth. This is enabled by the robust headstock Nº 300 and the smart plough design: during on-land operations, the plough turns straight away from the on-land position. During in-furrow operations, the plough easily changes to on-land position before turning. The main frame is moved to the tractor via a parallelogram. The plough is placed in a balanced position with its gravity center close to the tractor for a smooth turnover. This alignment function prevents vibrations and extra tractor linkage loading. An optional sequence valve is required for this operation. The turning efforts of a 7 furrow LO plough becomes as limited as those a smaller Kverneland plough. Easy working width changes Kverneland LO offers either manual or hydraulic working width adjustments: Variomat ® system. The latter enables quick and easy working width changes from 35 to 55 cm (14-22") from the tractor cabin. Manual furrow width adjustments are possible from 30 to 50 cm (12-20") in steps of 5 cm by repositioning only one bolt.

LO model leg protections The LO plough is equipped with the shearbolt leg protections.

In-furrow or On-land operations depend on soil conditions, weather and tractor type.

Thanks to the tractor Auto-steer, it is possible to plough On-land combining high performance with extra comfort for the driver. Robust plough The LO model is extendable by one body from 4 to 7 furrow max. The Kverneland steel, heat treatments and design enable trouble free operations in the toughest conditions. The 120 x 200 mm single box section frame is induction heat treated. Weldings would weaken the frame. In addition, the heavy duty headstock Nº 300 provides the necessary strength for tractors having dual wheels or rubber tracks (up to 3,7 m outer track width). Trailer Transport Solution (TTS) For an extra safe transport, the Kverneland LO models can be fitted with the TTS. The plough behaves like a trailer would behind a car. It only takes 1 minute to convert the plough from transport to the ploughing position.

FURROWCONTROL

FURROWcontrol

FOR UTMOST PRODUCTIVITY

Straight furrows can be a matter of pride but it also indicates how serious soil preparation is. Ploughing can be followed by other operations. They will be easier to carry out if furrows are straight in the first place. Kverneland FURROWcontrol straightens up furrows quickly and efficiently. Once an A-B line is defined, FURROWcontrol automatically adjusts the working width by following this A-B line. RTK/DGPS signals guide the plough while the Variomat ® adjusts the working width from 12” to 24” for parallel furrows. Not least, the pulling line adjusts automatically too. Maximise your productivity. Plough more, plough better, plough effortless. Experience has showed that FURROWcontrol can make straight furrows even when it looks impossible. Very wet soils or very hard soils, not worked out for a few years, are often difficult conditions preventing an efficient ploughing. FURROWcontrol becomes the ideal solution by enabling straight furrows. By activating FURROWcontrol, the plough makes the adequate adjustments for the perfect furrows. As a result, your tiredness is reduced during and after the working day. Straight furrows also have a positive economic impact. The field gets ploughed quicker, hence using less fuel.

PACKOMAT

KVERNELAND PACKOMAT

EFFICIENT SOIL PREPARATION

Efficient Packomat works in any ploughing conditions. Soil preparation can be extended to seedbed. Available from 4 to 12 furrow Kverneland ploughs, Packomat is an efficient tool. No need for extra manpower for a safe transport. Agronomic benefits The combination of ploughing and re-consolidating is both efficient and environmentally friendly. Soils are loosened, organic matters are incorporated to enrich the soils. Weeds are controlled mechanically. The elevation of temperature of the ploughed soil is actually positive. The associated water evaporation is limited by the immediate re-consolidation by the Packomat rings. Water capilarity is hence re-established for the benefit of the soil life.

100% integrated Packer Packomat follows the plough from transport to work. Compared to other packers, the Packomat offers high productivity gains. Easy handling From the tractor cabin, it is easy to position the Packomat for transport or work or even lifted for ploughing on field bounderies. Optimised levelling Choice of front harrows to crush clods and ring diameters to re-consolidate the soil. Maximised profits Packomat contributes to the balance of the plough in work. No extra pulling forces are needed and hence no extra fuel. The landside pressure is actually reduced and therefore the wear of the landsides. Ploughing and re-consolidating are two operations carried out in only one pass with no extra cost. Packomat contributes to maximise profitability.

STRONG AND RELIABLE

The Kverneland packer arm is available for all Kverneland mounted reversible ploughs and for all packers. Economic Packer arms are connected to the headstock on most of the Kverneland plough models in order to minimise additional side forces during ploughing. The operations are quick, easy and smooth thanks to the hydraulic release system and to the spring system which absorbs shocks. Simple manual handling for transport position.

KNOCK-ON ®

KVERNELAND KNOCK-ON ®

QUICK & EASY

Smart The Knock-on ® system consists of only 2 parts: a holder fixed to a regular Kverneland share and a Knock-on ® point. Clever Kverneland Knock-on ® is a universal system. Plough Knock-on ® points can also be used for cultivators. Long lasting Knock-on ® benefits from the Kverneland steel technology (quality steels + Kverneland heat treatments). The quality of the steel combined with a clever design ensure a long life to the Knock-on ® system. Therefore, Knock-on ® points can be used in any soil conditions. Quick Knock-on ® points are changed in a few seconds. It makes sense to save 90% of your time in changing points when working in abrasive soils (points wear quicker) or when having a 5+ furrow plough.

Easy The only tools needed are a chisel and a hammer (2 kg). Field tests reveal that, as an average, 3 points can be mounted on the same Knock-on ® holder. No bolt to unscrew helps save time. In addition, when the holder is worn out, it is normally also time to change the share, without unscrewing the holder. Very handy!

Agronomic benefits

Good soil penetration & Stable in work Knock-on ® has been tested in several soil conditions. Even in the hardest soils, the points ensure a good penetration. Low pulling forces Kverneland bodies are reknown for their unrivalled low pulling forces. With Knock-on ® points, the pulling forces remain low and hence the fuel consumption. Soil flow protection The clever design of Knock-on ® actually protects the other parts of the body while allowing an efficient soil flow.

XHD CARBIDE

XHD CARBIDE REINFORCED PARTS STRONGER THAN EVER

Additional protection of steel body

Extremely shock resistant

Avoids wearing the steel point

Corner Tiles make the difference The traditional method of reinforcing steel parts is to apply flat tungsten carbide tiles to the surface of the cutting edge. However, these only protect the surface - not the cutting edge. All cutting edges of the Kverneland XHD range are equipped with Corner Tiles. These specially designed tiles wrap around the leading edge, protecting both the surface and edge from wear and damage. The result is a sharper, long lasting edge – that remains resistant to shocks and breakages from hard impacts.

Kverneland’s XHD Carbide reinforced parts are designed with the most extreme conditions in mind. With a lifetime up to 8 to 10 times the life* of the standard parts, they keep costs and downtime to a minimum. Kverneland`s tried and proved heat treatment processes paired with groundbreaking new designed Tungsten Carbide tiles will provide the best weapon against abrasive soils.

*Based on average test conditions. Depending on soil type, moisture content, machine type, working speed, working depth, machine width and mounting position.
