Getting to know the plow
This chapter provides information on the plow. It instructs you on the
correct use of the plow and the plow’s functions in addition to providing
technical information.
Proper use
The intended use of this machine is for purposes of plowing. Any other
use of the plow, e.g. as for lifting or pulling operations, is deemed im
-
proper use. The manufacturer and dealer are not liable for damage
caused by improper use.
Features
Two types of beam
The ES plow is equipped with Kverneland’s automatic stone release
system. The singel leaf spring system cushions the plow body when a
hard object is impacted. Once the plow has passed the obstacle, the
body automatically reverts to the correct plow depth.
The LS plow is equipped with a shear bolt beam. On collision with a
stone or other object in the ground, the shear bolt is sheared, thus pro
-
tecting against greater damage.
Variable working width
The parallel design of this plow provides for a steplessly variable work
-
ing width, operated either hydraulically or mechanically. This ensures
an optimum combination of tractor, plow and soil consistency.
Complete range of bodies
We supply a complete range of plow bodies to meet all needs. Kver
-
neland’s plow bodies offer excellent plowing quality, are very durable
and require low tractive power.
Robust headstock
The plow’s headstock is designed with its centre of gravity close to the
tractor, enabling lift requirements to be as low as possible.
Complete range of optional equipment
The optional equipment for the plow comprises a wide range of depth
wheels, bodies, body attachments, skims and rear disc coulters. They
can be adapted to your needs depending on the type of soil and field
conditions.
Low-wear parts
All parts in direct contact with the soil have undergone heat treatment.
This makes them extremely resistant to wear, but also flexible enough
to withstand jolts.
The direction of reversing can be changed
The plow can be reversed with the bodies over and under the
frame.The most common use is with the bodies above the frame. This
gives the most even reversing and must be used when the integrated
packer is fitted.
A smooth reversing of the plow is achieved when the bodies are above
the frame.
There is maximum clearance with the ground at the rear end of the
plow when the bodies are underneath the frame.
