Showstoppers, Siloking and McConnel - all in a day at the Ploughing for Kverneland
These will sit alongside Siloking feeders and McConnel machinery as Kverneland is official importer and distributor in Ireland for these companies.
Plough Body No. 40
Leading the charge at this year’s event is the Kverneland Plough Body No. 40, a new addition to Kverneland’s ploughing line-up. Specifically designed for large tractor tyres, the Plough Body No. 40 offers lower pulling forces, meaning reduced fuel consumption and less strain on your tractor, which are key factors in extending machinery life and cutting costs. Building on the success of previous models, the Plough Body No. 40 is engineered to improve soil turnover and aeration, which are crucial for enhancing soil health and boosting crop yields. Even in challenging conditions, this plough body ensures optimal performance, setting the stage for a successful harvest.
Kverneland Rotago F Power Harrow
Also making its debut is the Kverneland Rotago F Power Harrow, a next-generation machine designed to transform seedbed preparation. Available in both basic and Isobus versions, the Rotago F allows for on-the-go adjustments of the levelling bar and working depth, providing unmatched flexibility and efficiency.
With its advanced features, including a pushed gear case and parallelogram linkage, the Rotago F offers seamless adjustments without the need to re-align the three-point linkage or rear roller. This not only makes operations easier but also supports sustainable farming by minimising energy use.
Pairing perfectly with the Rotago F is the F-Drill CB F, a precision seeding solution that’s all about adaptability. Designed to work seamlessly with the Rotago F power harrow, the F-Drill CB F allows for customisable working widths and the ability to sow different crops at varying depths in a single pass, maximising efficiency and yield potential.
Advanced grassland machinery
This year, Kverneland is also showcasing a suite of advanced grassland machinery aimed at boosting productivity and efficiency in forage production. The Kverneland 85156 C tedder, debuting at the Ploughing, offers a working width of 15.6 meters, significantly enhancing productivity and operator comfort. Its 14 small-diameter rotors ensure excellent crop turning in various conditions, while the TerraFlow ground-following system allows each rotor to flex and adapt independently, guaranteeing precise work across the entire width.
Kverneland will showcase its flagship butterfly mower, the 53100MT BX, a masterpiece of mowing technology. With a working width of up to 10.2 meters and the QuattroLink ‘race car’ suspension system, this mower delivers unmatched ground tracking and cutting performance, ensuring exceptional forage quality and efficiency.
In addition to all of this, Kverneland’s FastBale will be on display – the world’s only non-stop round baler that eliminates the need to stop and start between bales. The FastBale’s unique pre-chamber system ensures consistent bale density and high-quality forage, making it a must-have for any farmer looking to streamline hay and silage operations. This machine is sure to draw a crowd as always.
