Kverneland PW

The Kverneland PW semi-mounted ploughs consist of a robust central wheel wagon plough at the front and a mounted reversible plough at the rear. The latter can be either a standard Kverneland mounted reversible EG or ED.

This unique design gives you the flexibility to choose the right combination of ploughs to suit any soil conditions: either the whole wagon plough or only the front or the rear plough: “3 ploughs in 1”. In some situations, it may be advantageous to use only the front part in very wet or very hard conditions, or due to the availability of a tractor. The heavy front section alone will provide optimum performance in any conditions. Likewise, you can use the rear mounted reversible plough for ploughing smaller areas or headlands.

The rear plough can be uncoupled within a few minutes and be ready for use. Likewise, it only takes a short time to join them together. At any time, you have the freedom to choose.

The wagon plough follows the ground undulations in a smooth way thanks to the centre section consisting of a 3 point linkage system. It therefore behaves like a normal mounted plough.

The perfect seedbed is made while ploughing. The Packomat® is an integrated soil packer which is directly coupled to the plough. This combination is both efficient and environmentally friendly. By applying a pressure of 1.000 kg, the wedge-shaped discs cut their way through the furrows, crush clods, push down stones, level and pack the soil. This ensures a quick re-establishment of the capillarity water conductivity

The plough is available with either manual adjustable working width or with the famous Kverneland Variomat® system, allowing “On the Move” furrow width adjustments from the tractor seat. The ploughing width can be adjusted from 35 to 50 cm (14-20”). The output is then increased up to 30%.

Kverneland engineering skills have made it possible to construct a plough capable to withstand the high stresses on such a large reversible plough, particularly when ploughing at depth and at speed. Not least, the plough remains easy to operate. The Kverneland PW features the renowned Auto-reset system.

A large plough may look very difficult to manage but the Kverneland PW “3 in 1” model is equipped with an advanced management system which makes it very easy to operate. You can choose between different systems: • ATS Control (Automatic Turning Sequence). Option: ISOBUS compatible. • manual management with the addition of a valve controller. • manual management via tractor control. When equipped with the ATS system, the plough is very easy to operate on the headlands. It is only necessary to lift the plough at the front, press the ATS button 3 times and the plough reversing functions operate automatically in accordance to the driving on the headland. The plough will then be ready for the next ploughing operation. The rear plough section, equipped with an hydraulic toplink, is held in a raised position during the turning phase. This secures perfect “ins” and “outs” at the headlands.

When turning on the headland, the centre section lowers the plough for optimum stability and safety. With 80% of the plough’s weight on the centre section, the tractor is free to make tight turns. The centre section design also provides excellent manoeuvrability during work and transport.

Choose between an underbeam clearance of 70 or 75 cm on the PW for trashy conditions. The PW “3 in 1” plough are available with a choice of bodies, skimmers, disc coulters and wheel equipments to suit all soils and tractor types.

• In-Furrow • In-Furrow and narrow On-Land (approx. 3.2 m track width) • On-land (approx. 4.5 m track width) Off-set adjustment to correct the driving position is via in-cab hydraulic control.

Changeover from work to transport is carried out in a few seconds: the plough is turned half way and then lowered on its centre section. In “butterfly” position the plough is very stable and manoeuvrable with approximately 20% of its weight being transferred on to the tractor’s linkage. As an option, the PW can be equipped with brakes and full road lightings.
