Kverneland Ecomat TM Increase your income by reducing costs

ECOMAT TM offers : • the best features of ploughing + • the capacity from minimum tillage For • Optimal seedbed at low costs = • Increased profit

ECOMAT TM presentation • • Features and benefits for the farmer The construction Comparisons with normal ploughs Comparisons with minimum tillage Use of manure Bodies (Steel / Plastic) Easy transport (slides 4 -6) (slides 7 -8) (slides 9) (slides 10 -11) (slides 12) (slides 13 -16) (slides 17)

Ecomat TM Features and benefits for the farmer • • Time saving Reduced fuel and tractor costs Less risky crop establishment method than reduced tillage Less dependent on the weather than reduced tillage methods Reduced use of chemical compared to reduced tillage methods Better and more consistent yield quality HIGHER PROFIT

Ecomat TM – features and benefits • • • makes an optimal seedbed working 10 -18 cm deep turns the straws and weeds 180 grades levels and consolidates the soil contains the capillary effect quicker transformation of residues clean soil to seed in less problems with fungi less problems with weeds less problems with slugs less use of chemical

Ecomat TM – features and benefits • better organic/humus conditions, better soil • optimal mix of manure • great capacity, working width up to 4, 00 m • working speed 8 – 12 km/h • working capacity 2 – 3 Ha/h • very low power requirement: • 110 – 130 HP for 6 -furrow 150 – 180 HP for 8 -furrow • very low fuel costs • increased yield • Higher Profit

Ecomat TM– the construction • the Ecomat looks like a plough, but it is much more than an ordinary plough • all parts except the headstock are new – Headstock 200 • up to 4, 00 m working width • new plough body with a new skimmer turn the furrow 180 grades – 20 kg lighter • new beam – 20 kg lighter

Ecomat TM– the construction • new frame construction : more transversal • closer to the tractor less lifting power • Packomat is an important part of the Ecomat • built together with the plough : very good balance • a 3, 00 m working unit levels, crushes clods, consolidates and makes a perfect seedbed • Optimum working result

Ecomat TM compared to normal ploughs • 10 – 18 cm is enough in most soils • makes the soil structure better • Ecomat keeps the best features of ploughing • nice seedbed with clean soil • higher speed : 8 – 12 Km/h • higher capacity : 2 – 3 Ha/h • lower costs

Kverneland Ecomat compared to minimum tillage • ploughing has always been the safest and best way • safer technique • mixes or buries straws and residues in a better way • better when using manure • nice and clean seedbed • less problems with fungi • less problems with weeds

Kverneland Ecomat compared to minimum tillage • less problems with slugs • less problems with weather • can work in rather wet conditions, even with light rain • great speed: 8 – 12 Km/h • great capacity: 2 – 3 Ha/h • low power requirement only: 110 – 130 HP for 6 -furrow 150 – 180 HP for 8 -furrow

Kverneland Ecomat – use of manure • manure in big quantities (30 -50 t/Ha) can be ploughed within minutes after spraying • manure will be placed at a depth of 10 – 15 cm = optimum depth for the plants • great capacity 2 -3 Ha/h • better and cheaper technique than wagons with manure incorporators

Kverneland Ecomat the special body • shorter, higher with more cylindrical form • turns the soil 180 grades • increases the turning effect • very flexible - prevents stopping • the beam is hidden behind the bottom to prevent stopping • equipped with: - Quick-Fit share - Landside-knife - Leg protection (plastic) - Trashboard

Ecomat with plastic bodies • a very good alternative in most soils, especially in loose and sticky soils • will go clean in all soils – no sticking

Steel or plastic body? • for heavy soils • for soils with a lot of stones • for very loose soil • for sticky soils

Plastic body with full equipment Plastic Body with: - Quick-Fit Share - Skimmer-knife - a must for plastic bodies - Trashboard 1 - Trashboard 2 on top - Leg protection A very good alternative for excellent working

Ecomat – easy to transport • Ecomat is very easy to set from transport to working position • when in transport the Packomat is folded over the Ecomat • Ecomat 8 -furrows, 650 mm, should be transported in ”butterflyposition” on a combined depth/transport wheel • the change is manoeuvered hydraulically from the driver seat • makes it easy to start at the edge of the field.
