Kverneland 2300 S

Importance of heat treatment

• The frame is an essential part of the plough construction. For Kverneland quality standards, a non heat treated part is a weak part!
• Kverneland frames are heat treated by induction twice. The temperature transfer to the steel is closely monitored. The frame gains 3 times as much strength. This unique Kverneland induction processes provides robustness and flexibility while ensuring an outstanding durability.

Stronger but not heavier

• For the equivalent Kverneland robustness, competitors would use more steel in thickness or in dimensions, therefore producing a heavier frame.
• Heavier frame impacts negatively pulling forces, wearing of parts, lifting capacities, tractor life time, and fuel consumption.

Long lasting

• Weldings are also a critical weakness for a plough frame. Kverneland frames are supplied as one sole part!

Stepless Vari-width® system for infinite adjustments of working width. 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.

Excellent Ploughing Quality

They are renowned all over the world for their:

• excellent ploughing quality
• outstanding wear resistance
• low draft requirements

Bodies of a unique steel.

Kverneland Technology: 12 hours carburising heat treatment process for:

• optimum wear resistance (sharp as a diamond)
• the necessary flexibility to absorb impacts

Kverneland Heat Treatment Technology:

• more than 140 years of experience
• steels that withstand the toughest of conditions
• best robustness/weight ratio on the market
• for equivalent robustness, competitors would add more steel and therefore more weight, quicker wear, dissappointing ploughing results

Kverneland Steels:

• Benefits from less weight:
  easier to pull/lower fuel consumption/lower lift requirement/reduced wear and stress for the tractor/more economical …
• Benefits from more resistance:
  minimum breakage/less maintenance/lower rotation for wearing parts/time saving/highest 2^nd hand plough value/longer life for the plough/more economical…

Problems always happen when the plough is being used, when the work must be done!

A Kverneland plough is a peace mind!
