Vari-Width® (Variomat) System

Stepless Vari-width® system for infinite adjustments of working width, from 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20”) depending on models. Kverneland’s world patented system is available either with hydraulic or mechanical furrow adjustments.

Benefits:

• Easy variation of ploughing capacity
• Perfect match at all time between tractor capacity, implement and soil conditions
• Time saving: up to 30% more capacity
• Cost saving: up to 18% reduction in fuel consumption in relation with increased ploughing capacity
• Better work: plough up to the hedges, fences, trees and ditches
• Minimum wear: unique non-wearing linkage joint between the beams and the mainframe section
• Perfect line of pull at all time. Kverneland’s Vari-width offers the correct parallel linkage along the whole plough. Therefore, lower draft requirement, minimum wear and tear.

A general purpose body from medium to light soils. Capable of working at varying depths 15cm to 30cm (6 to 12 inches) and widths 30cm to 50cm (12 to 20 inches) with good cleaning and soil inversion characteristics.

Body No. 9
Like the No. 8, but even more highly “tuned”. Designed for wider and deeper ploughing at depths of 15 to 35 cm (6 to 14 inches). Suitable for heavier land where well turned and packed furrows are required.

Body No. 14
A plough body with a plastic mouldboard, for use in organic soils where sticking can be an acute problem. Similar performance to body No.19

Body No. 19
Specially designed for heavy soil, No.19 is also very good for burying large quantities of chopped or stripped straw. The angle of the mouldboard increases the clearance between the bodies in a very efficient manner. It also gives a totally inverted furrow which seals in the trash. The finished work is more broken, making secondary cultivation operations more efficient.

Body No. 28
Body No. 28 suits all soil types. Longer than body No.8, it creates a flatter profile for improved tilth. Its shape and action moves the soil further away from the landside, increases the furrow bottom width by as much as 25%. This allows wide tractor tyres to work in the furrow without rolling down the previous furrow. Suitable for depths of 15 to 30cm (6 to 12 inches) and widths from 35 to 50cm (14 to 20 inches).

Body No. 30
Finger mouldboard especially designed for sticky-stony soils. Capable of working between 20 cm and 35 cm deep (8 to 14”).

Auto-reset

Unbeatable in stony conditions !

Kvernelands fully automatic non-stop Auto-Reset System is unbeatable when it comes to trouble-free ploughing in stony conditions. The clever multi-leaf spring system allows the plough legs to release over stones and other solid objects in a smooth and efficient manner. This avoids sudden jolts and possible damage. Once the obstruction is passed, the plough body automatically returns to the correct ploughing depth.

Safety compliance

With today's demands for higher output, both tractor and plough are expected to perform quicker than ever. This makes more arduous demands on the equipment, particularly on the safety systems designed to protect tractors, ploughs and drivers against the dangers encountered whenever the plough meets hidden obstructions in the ground. The Kverneland Auto-Reset system guaranties this safety high standars requirements.

Adaptable to varying soil conditions

Depending of the type of soil all Kverneland ploughs can be equipped with different leaf springs packages. For soft soils, a normal spring with 5 leaves is the best choice to obtain the perfect ploughing in stony conditions. Today, most Kverneland ploughs are delivered with the Heavy Duty springs package (HD) with 7 leaves. This will perform well in most conditions. If the soil is very hard and stony - a double leaf spring package is recommended.

Extra leaves when needed

The standard Auto-Reset system includes 7 Kverneland heat treated springs (640Kp).
For heavier to extreme soil conditions, extra leaf springs are added for up to 1400kp.
The leaves are easily fixed with one central bolt only.

Individual body release !

The Kverneland mechanical Auto-Reset system enables very plough body to release independently. A quality ploughing is therefore guaranteed. 

Minimum wear and high second hand value

Kverneland's Auto-Reset System is a quite simple construction that withstands the punishing forces year in, year out, with a minimum of maintenance. Save time and money !
Moreover, the Kverneland auto-reset system guarantees a longer life to the plough. When hitting an obstacle, the pressure on the point, frame, plough parts, decreases. The stress on Kverneland ploughs is therefore reduced. Consequently, second hand Kverneland ploughs  sell at  a higher value than competitors ploughs.
