Intelligent
Ploughing
that Boosts
Efficiency

Is this one of the biggest
innovations since the development
of the plough itself?
»»THE 2500-SERIES FULLYmounted plough range from
Kverneland is perhaps one
of the biggest innovations
in farm machinery since the
development of the plough
itself.
Radically different to current
models in several ways, it
offers an all-new leg design
- the Aero-Profile - offering
lighter weight but greater
strength; a new skimmer
design for improved trash
burial, but simpler adjustment;
a swivelling depth wheel, with
the option of a rubber tracked
version too that sits under
the plough beam, offering a
longer footprint and better
depth control.
ALL-NEW HEADSTOCK
DESIGN
There is also an all-new
headstock design, which
cleverly unlocks and folds,
and is combined with a
steering cross-shaft – giving
the fully-mounted plough
the characteristics of a trailer
when in transport.

So transport is simpler, with
better maneouvrability and
without a long rear over-hang,
is much safer too. And there
is no need to uncouple or
relocate the top link.
The jewel in the crown
though, is the introduction
of the i-Plough version. This
isobus controlled, flagship
2500-series plough benefits
from an electronic control
system that allows almost
complete set-up of the plough
from the tractor seat.
In addition, its vari-width
function can be managed
by GPS, allowing the plough
to steer itself to maintain a
straight furrow.
The i-Plough has four
operating modes; transport,
work, park and mark. And
switching between modes
sees the plough automatically
configure itself, without the
need to reach for a tape
measure.
First to appear will be the
i-Plough later this year, in
five- and six-furrow builds, for
tractors up to 280hp.
