Kverneland is renowned for high ploughing performance worldwide. The Kverneland bodies enable ploughing in any conditions. A new body is now available for tractors with large tyres in order to plough in very sticky conditions without stones : Plastic body No 34
Designed for high performance
Kverneland bodies benefit from an outstanding reputation: high agronomic performance and low wearing.
The international success of body No 28, steel body designed for large tyres and any conditions has from now its equivalent for sticky conditions without stones: body No 34 offers the same high ploughing performance as Body No 28. The easy pulling and hence low fuel consumption are typical to Kverneland bodies. Scientific studies have proved it.
Low pull requirement
Recent university studies, FH Cologne and Wilsmannn 2012, have revealed that the design of Kverneland bodies offer some of the lowest pulling forces on the market: from -20% to -42% when ploughing at 20 cm working depth and -11% to -24% at 30 cm. It is therefore possible to plough with 1 extra Kverneland body and gain in output compared to competition.
As regard to fuel consumption, it is reduced by 19% to 28% when using a Kverneland plough.
Wide empty furrow
Bodies No. 28 & No 34 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 34 :
-
plastic mouldboard
-
long and slim shape (similar to Body 28)
-
for soils with high humus content without stones
-
advised for tractors with large tyres
-
easy pulling
-
working depth: 12-35 cm
-
working width: 30-55 cm
-
landside / mouldboard:40°
