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 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.
