Kverneland “TTS” (Trailer Transport Solution)

// The plough behaves like a trailer. Turnable cross shaft max. 45° mutual offset during transport.

// Safe: maximum security for anything/anyone around and for the driver. No tilting out when driving in curves.

// Easy conversion from transport to ploughing.

// The Kverneland TTS is an option

Aero-profile legs

// Special design for best soil flow.

// 80 cm leg height to prevent potential blockage in heavy residues, manure, cover crops or when ploughing deeper.

// Robust legs: pre-shaped components limiting weldings.

// Low pulling requirement and hence fuel consumption thanks to low weight hollow legs.

Auto-reset system

// Unrivalled Kverneland mechanical leaf spring system for Non-stop ploughing.

// No Maintenance.

// Legs, plough and tractor lives are protected and lengthened.

// Quality ploughing: legs release independently one from another and come back to the correct position.

// Easy adjustment of releasing forces: unscrew 2 bolts to add or remove springs.

// Smart skimmers adjustment

// Unique: central adjustment of skimmers working depth.

// Quick operations: right and left skimmers adjust simultaneously.

// High ploughing performance: the correct adjustment of skimmers contribute to a quality ploughing.

// Disc coulters also available: plain or notched (18”/45cm or 20”/50cm)

Unique frame robustness

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!

Plough Bodies

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

Heat Treatment

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 2nd hand plough value/longer life for the plough/more economical…
