Kverneland Unveils Next Level Mowing with GEOMOW for its 10m Butterfly Combination

GEOMOW unlocks the full potential of the Kverneland 53100 MT Vario. The all-new Kverneland GEOMOW application delivers automatic adjustment of overlap between rear and front mowers and automatic headland lift via section control, adding up to 10% increase in productivity.

QuattroLink – Engineered for Efficiency

The award-winning QuattroLink design has already become a true hallmark of the Kverneland mower conditioner range. With the Vario suspension arm, adjustment of overlap between front and rear mowing units is done instantly. A unique Kverneland feature is the fact that ground pressure remains unchanged, even when adjusting the position of the mowing units, meaning you can adjust overlap on the go, without any need to stop and correct ground pressure.

GEOMOW Automatically Optimises on Overlap

The Kverneland 53100 MT provides up to 10.2m working width, but like with all triple mower combinations the maximum working width is seldom reached, as most drivers tend to go safe on the overlap to avoid uncut plots, bringing total capacity and output down. In addition most drivers still end up leaving stripes in the field, when terrain and conditions change, eventually having to do an extra round.

GEOMOW ensures the mower is always utilising its maximum capacity. GEOMOW constantly recognises the line the tractor is driving in and hence always knows the position of the front mower, allowing it to instantly react and adjust overlap of the rear mowing units. The mowing job is done right the first time, every time, with a potential 10% increase in productivity, by always mowing at maximum working width.

How GEOMOW Works

When mowing on flat and even terrain the mowing units are working with a minimum overlap to reach up to 10.2m effective mowing width.

When mowing around corners, GEOMOW automatically detects the changed position of the front mower and in due course compensates by increasing the overlap, leaving no uncut plots and stripes behind. If the corner is too tight for the mowing units to compensate, the driver automatically gets a warning signal on the terminal.

When working on slopes, with the tractor drifting, GEOMOW immediately compensates by automatically increasing overlap between front and rear mowing units.

“We have designed GEOMOW in a way that automatically utilises the potential of the new QuattroLink suspension to the maximum. With QuattroLink, ground pressure remains unchanged, even when the position of the rear mower is changed. There is no need to stop and adjust the ground pressure. Constantly optimising on the overlap has an enormous impact on productivity, which was exactly what we wanted to achieve” says Jan Vestergaard Madsen, Head of R&D, Disc Mowers.

Section control - Control the Headland

GEOMOW includes section control for automatic headland operation. It eliminates the hassle of timing headland lifts and provides an even more efficient mowing job. GEOMOW removes the risk of mistakes when lifting mowing units too early and lowering them too late.

When reaching the end of the field, the front mower is automatically raised as it hits already cut grass on headlands, and the rear units are automatically lifted as well, at exactly the right time. The driver can concentrate fully on turning as quick and efficiently as possible. The same goes when reaching the unmown grass, the front and rear mowing units lower at exactly the right time.
