HIGH PERFORMANCE CULTIVATOR
USER COMFORT IS KEY
EASY ADJUSTMENT
Kverneland always focuses on safe operation and user comfort. With all the adjustments being done without the need for tools, a lot of precious time is saved!
Adjusting the Turbo for each season is easily done. The depth is adjusted by hydraulic cylinders and spacers; the levelling equipment by spindle. If the working depth is changed, there is almost no need to change the position of the levelling equipment thanks to the well-studied cinematic which acts like a parallelogram. In addition, there is hardly any maintenance to be done on the Turbo apart from changing wearing parts. For farmers with small fields, narrow roads and who want to save time, the rigid Turbo can be equipped with a hydraulic folding system of the lateral levelling tines.

Automatic Load Transfer (ALT) on Turbo T With the Turbo T, Kverneland provides a cultivator which is easy to pull at low operating costs. A top feature of the Turbo T is the Automatic Load Transfer (ALT) system. With the front depth wheels acting like detectors, a sensor activates the load transfer system which transfers up to 1,800kg onto the drawbar. The benefit is up to 5% reduced slippage and savings of almost 900€ per year (calculated on 1000ha acreage). Additional weight on the tractor (e.g. inside the rim wheels) becomes obsolete – reducing fuel consumption and wearing. The wheel wagon is placed inside the machine to ensure very short headland turnings of less than 10m. This also supports the positive weight transfer on the drawbar even when reversing with the heaviest rollers.
