Kverneland EcomatTM 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 (slides 4-6) • The construction (slides 7-8) • Comparisons with normal ploughs (slides 9) • Comparisons with minimum tillage (slides 10-11) • Use of manure (slides 12) • Bodies (Steel / Plastic) (slides 13-16) • Easy transport (slides 17)
Ecomat TMFeatures 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 180grades • 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 TMcompared 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 Ecomatcompared 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 Ecomatcompared 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 ”butterfly-position” 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.
