    Kverneland’s plough solution to easier ‘Green Deal’ compliancy

    Meghan TaylorBy Meghan TaylorJuly 27, 20222 Mins Read

    The Kverneland Ecomat On-land shallow plough offers farmers soil compaction limiting solutions to on-land ploughing. This new plough model aims to make Green Deal compliancy easier for farmers; as the Green Deal aims to reduce chemical usage and the necessity to control weeds, slugs and pest mechanically.

    Kvereland Ecomat On-land plough specifications:

    Kverneland modelNumber of furrowsWorking capacity (m)Working widths (m)Inter-body clearance (m)
    Ecomat On-land 8-102.40-5.000.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, 0.50 0.65

    The Ecomat On-land plough is a compact model and only requires machines to have a lift capacity of roughly 7 tons, making it ideal for most medium size tractors.

    This model also benefits from Kverneland’s existing Ecomat elements, such as the Ecomat plough bodies. The bodies have a short, high and cylindrical design, for a 180° soil turning effect. Fitted with a specific range of accessories, the steel or plastic Ecomat bodies can be used in different soil structures and residues, and adjusted to the desired working depths of 6 to 18cm.

    The Ecomat plough also offers greater soil compaction reduction benefits, as it works with wider and lower pressure tyres; easily removes compacted soil, as the top layer of soil is ploughed instantly; and provides a better soil profile in adverse condition – especially heavy soil types.

    Kverneland Trailer Transport Solution (TTS)

    The TTS system enables the Ecomat plough to behave just like a trailer behind a car; the pivot point of tractor and plough is located in the middle, so there is no tilting out, while it travels at a lower height, to easily pass under bridges and trees when en route.

    It also takes less than one minute to adjust the plough from transport to ploughing, and vice versa.
