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.

SMART INNOVATIONS

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 Ecomat body automatically returns to the correct working 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 or Ecomat.

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 Ecomat. This results in implements lighter than competitors´ and extremely robust while delivering outstanding performance. Induction hardened frame To guarantee the durability of the Ecomat, 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 Ecomat models 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 for the headstock No 200. Sequence valve The sequence valve controls the reversing cycle of the Ecomat models. It automatically activates an alignment valve which "narrows" the plough prior to reversal. After reversal, the implement returns to its working position. It creates more clearance to the ground for an easy reversal. Memory valve The memory valve together with the memory-sequence valve, which is used on the Ecomat in furrow, is also

Two different headstocks The Kverneland Ecomat series has two different headstocks. Both 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.

VARIOMAT ®

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 implement 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 (Ecomat) or mechanical adjustment of the furrow width (Ecomat On-land). 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, Ecomat parts, decreases. The stress on the Ecomat is therefore reduced which guarantees a longer life to the implement. Each body releases independently one from another to come back to the correct working depth once the obstable passed. This ensures a quality work.

BENEFITS

KVERNELAND ECOMAT SERIES

EFFICIENT SHALLOW PLOUGHING FOR EXTRA BENEFITS

Efficient shallow ploughing Research shows evidence that in some particular soil conditions, shallow ploughing is recommended. The Kverneland Ecomat series enables a very efficient shallow ploughing from 14-18 cm. It handles well light to medium soils and shows good results in heavy soils. “Waste grain, plant remains and weeds are mixed into a smaller volume of soil which leads to a higher content of organic materials in the upper soil layer. Water management is improved. The soil is hence easier to work and the risk of crust formation is reduced. This results in good growing conditions”.

Better than reduced tillage Compared to a reduced tillage system, the Ecomat bodies bury plant residues more efficiently. The Ecomat bodies also improve the mix of trash to soil which ensures that the seeds get in contact with the soil. Lesser trash concentration reduces the risk for fungal attack on the following crop. Chemical usage is reduced. The soil structure is improved. Plants grow quicker. Therefore, the Ecomat bodies ensure a more secure and stable cultivation method with better results. Better than conventional tillage Compared to a conventional tillage, 20-30 cm working depth for well buried weeds, the Ecomat series enables ploughing from 14 cm up to 18 cm. In principle, the deeper ploughing, the higher pulling force requirements. With the Ecomat, the shallow ploughing only requires a light weight tractor, and hence lesser fuel consumption and risk of soil compaction. The soil structure being less disturbed and water drainage improved, the plants grow quicker and better.

BODIES

KVERNELAND ECOMAT BODIES FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE

Designed for high performance Kverneland bodies benefit from an outstanding reputation worldwide: high agronomic performance and low wearing. They are efficient from 6 to 18 cm working depths, enabling 3 types of soil preparations: Eco-stubble, Eco-tillage and Eco-ploughing (shallow ploughing). Ecomat bodies The Kverneland Ecomat bodies remain unrivalled performance wise. They are shorter and lower than Kverneland plough bodies. Their cylindrical shape turns the soil fast up to 180°.

Ecomat bodies are available as steel or plastic for sticky, non-stony conditions.

Eco-ploughing The standard combination for Eco-ploughing is

2 trashboards and 1 landside knife. The 2 trashboards guide the materials and pre-mix them while the landside knife cuts the dense roots on the surface. With 1 trashboard and 1 landside knife combination, it skims up to 18 cm and guides the materials into the furrow slice. As a result, the straw and other residues are well mixed, placed at the bottom of the furrow while leaving a trash free surface.

KV ECOMAT

KVERNELAND ECOMAT

FITTED WITH THE UNRIVALLED ECOMAT BODIES

Common to the Ecomat series Kverneland offers 2 Ecomat models: one for in-furrow operations and one for on-land operations. Both benefit from the same Ecomat bodies and accessories for the best soil preparations. The Ecomat models robustness and easy adjustments for the highest performance are identical to any Kverneland ploughs. Both are easy to pull and to lift for the lowest fuel consumption and the lowest wear of parts. Kverneland Ecomat Built around a robust 100 x 150 mm induction heat treated frame, this 5 to 8 furrow implement, has a working capacity of up to 4 m (65 cm interbody clearance). The Ecomat features the trouble free headstock 200 which is recommended for 18-30 Hp/body (110-130 Hp for 6 furrows and 150-180 Hp for 8 furrows). The Ecomat has low lifting capacities: the 1st leg being attached to the sliding rail, the gravity center is hence close to the headstock.

With the Variomat ® , it is easy to vary the working width «on the move» (12-20", 30-50cm). The pulling line remains correct at any times thanks to the Auto line which guarantees the automatic adjustment of the pulling line when changing the working width. The Auto-reset legs enable a quality result even in stony or heavy soil conditions. For a seed bed preparation, the average speed is 8 Km/h (2,5-3,5 ha/h) while for stubble 3-4 ha/h are expected at a 12 km/h speed. For an immediate soil re-consolidation, the Packomat is available. It does not induce any extra pulling forces or extra fuel consumption. Its transport is pragmatic: placed above the Ecomat, it follows the Ecomat in transport. Such transport is possible via the 3 point linkage or the transport wheel.

KV ECOMAT

KVERNELAND ECOMAT ON-LAND

FITTED WITH THE UNRIVALLED ECOMAT BODIES

Kverneland Ecomat On-land Designed for on-land operations and up to 5 m working capacity, the Ecomat On-land is easy to lift and to pull. The induction heat treated robust frame 100x200 mm remains fairly light with only 6,3 mm width. Its transversal orientation, the short interbody clearance and its gravity center close to the tractor enable an easy lifting. The light weight of the Ecomat parts makes it easy to pull. Only 160 Hp for 8 furrows or 200 Hp for 10 furrows can be necessary.

Double operations at headlands can be limited thanks to the wheel unique memory system that maintains the desired working depth after the reversing cycle. The Ecomat On-land has shearbolt leg protections and features easy step wise width adjustments from 30 to 50 cm by steps of 5 cm. Only 1 bolt needs to be repositioned by leg bracket. For transport, opt for a 3 point linkage or for the transport wheel. The 10 furrow Ecomat On-land is equipped with the Trailer Transport Solution (TTS) for extra safe transport: the implement behaves like a trailer with a 45° right/left offset. The implement always remains lower than the tractor cabin for an safe transport under bridges for instance. The conversion from transport to working position takes only 1 minute and vice versa.

The robust headstock 300 is fitted to the Ecomat On-land making it suitable even for higher Hp tractors.

The On-land operations bear a number of advantages: • extra comfort for the driver • the use of wider tyres, better traction, less fuel • limited potential soil compaction • straight furrows via the GPS • the possibility to work night times • the improvement of the soil profile in adverse conditions, especially in heavy soil types

KVERNELAND PACKOMAT

EFFICIENT SOIL PREPARATION

Efficient Packomat works in any ploughing conditions. Soil preparation can be extended to seedbed. Available up to 8 furrows, Packomat is an efficient tool. No need for extra manpower for a safe transport. Agronomic benefits The combination of Eco ploughing, Eco tillage and re-consolidating is 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 worked 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 Ecomat Variomat 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 Ecomat Variomat 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. Eco ploughing or Eco tillage and re-consolidating are two operations carried out in only one pass with no extra cost. Packomat contributes to maximise profitability.

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. 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 Ecomat model.

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.
