The new generation of the Kverneland Variomat shear bolt plough range, is the next step forward after the launch of the auto-reset plough in 2019. This new upgraded range, builds on the existing characteristics of the Variomat plough, including some new relevant features.
New shear bolt legs enable a shear cut of the bolts under a pressure as high as 5000 kg. The new design ensures that the shear bolt can be instantly replaced in an easy manner which guarantees a consistent ploughing quality. Spare bolts are handily stored on the head stock.
Disc coulters, plain or notched, 18” (45cm), 20” (50cm), 22” (55cm) complete the offer of manure and maize skimmers plus trash boards with skimmer extensions offer.
Well-adjusted skimmers that are set up in the correct way are making the ploughing result. However, due to the difficult adjustment of skimmers, this is often not done when adjusting the ploughing depth for example. Auto-reset on the central adjustable skimmers enable quickly changing the skimmer working depth to always have the optimal result (a). 4P new generation skimmers enable ploughing in any soil conditions, residues and speed via easy and quick adjustments. Prevent stone blockages or favor a gentle cut of a grass land by changing the angle of the skimmer via 2 excentric bolts only (b). Adapt to the speed of operations by moving the skimmer more or less forward (c). For specific trash and soil conditions, set the skimmer to “More On-land work” via a lateral repositioning (d).
Rear and frame mounted wheels
A new range of wheels is available for the Kverneland new generation shear bolt ploughs: rear and frame mounted wheels, mechanical and hydraulic, made easy to change the working depth.
The Kverneland Trailer Transport Solution (TTS) offers the possibility to maneuver safely in narrow passes or roundabouts and protects the head stock from stress during transport. The plough behaves like a trailer. The pivot point of tractor and implement combination is located in the middle, so there is no tilting out. TTS is available on the models 3300 B Variomat, 3400 B Variomat and 3500 B Variomat i.
When the same features apply to each model of this new range, the Kverneland 3500 B i-plough is an additional advantage with its Isobus functions. The most essential settings are done from the tractor cab. The driver can switch from In-furrow ploughing to On-land ploughing with one finger tip. Other functionalities like FURROWcontrol for straight furrows following an A-B line, bring an extra level of performances and comfort. Likewise, the Kverneland Sync enables seamless data transfer for optimal machine management and performance tracking.
The Variomat allows the best match between soil conditions, the plough and the tractor for optimal output. When changing the working width on a Variomat plough, there is no need to adjust the pulling line. The Auto-line feature is the DNA of Kverneland ploughs.
Hence the new range of Kverneland shear bolt ploughs have the correct pulling line at any time. It bears a number of benefits such as preventing side pulls and unnecessary high landside pressure. It ensures a quality and efficient ploughing with less fuel consumption. At the same time, the life time of wearing parts is extended. The 1st furrow can be adjusted independently from the working width of the plough. Hence, one can choose a specific working width for hilly conditions compensations. When activating the Variomat, the first furrow width keeps its setting in respect to the plough working width.
