- Cuts down time for seedbed operations on heavy soils
- Safe in transport too
Features
100% Integrated packer
Packomat follows the plough from transport to work. Compared to other packers, the Packomat offers high productivity gains.
Easy handling
From the tractor cabin, it is easy to position the Packomat for transport or work or even lifted for ploughing on field bounderies.
Optimised levelling
Choice of front harrows to crush clods and ring diameters to re-consolidate the soil.
Maximised profits
Packomat contributes to the balance of the plough in work. No extra pulling forces are needed and hence no extra fuel. The landside pressure is actually reduced and therefore the wear of the landsides. Ploughing and re-consolidating are two operations carried out in only one pass with no extra cost. Packomat contributes to maximise profitability.
Efficient
Packomat works in any ploughing conditions. Soil preparation can be extended to seedbed. Available from 4 to 12 furrow Kverneland ploughs, Packomat is an efficient tool. No need for extra manpower for a safe transport.
Agronomic benefits
The combination of ploughing and re-consolidating is both efficient and environmentally friendly. Soils are loosened, organic matters are incorporated to enrich the soils. Weeds are controlled mechanically. The elevation of temperature of the ploughed soil is actually positive. The associated water evaporation is limited by the immediate re-consolidation by the Packomat rings. Water capilarity is hence re-established for the benefit of the soil life.
