Kverneland Group Ireland, an official sponsor of this year’s National Ploughing Championships, will launch two new grass machines onto the Irish market as part of a broad display of Kverneland, McConnel and SILOKING machinery.
The new Kverneland Tactus twin-rotor rake and Tersus 4000 flail chopper will make their Irish debut at this year’s National Ploughing Championships, as Kverneland Group Ireland launches both machines onto the Irish market.
Alongside the two new arrivals, the stand will feature a broad selection of machinery aimed at Irish farming systems, covering grass, tillage and crop establishment, crop care, feeding and hedgecutting.
New Tactus and Tersus
Taking centre stage on the grass side will be the new Kverneland Tactus range of twin-rotor rakes, with working widths from 6.4m to 7.8m across the Tactus 2072 and 2078 models.
The new-generation rakes feature Kverneland’s TerraLink Plus ground contour-following system, allowing the rotors to closely follow changing field conditions and helping to maintain a clean rake.
The Tactus range also uses Kverneland’s DUO tine system, with curved 9.5mm tines designed to lift and move the crop while reducing soil contamination and helping to produce an even, well-shaped swath.
Also making its Irish debut will be the new Kverneland Tersus 4000 flail chopper range, designed for work in grass, crop residues and biomass.
The Tersus 4000 is available in three working widths from 2.35m to 3.25m, with 500mm of hydraulic side-shift fitted as standard across the range for working along field boundaries, headlands and around obstacles.
Another new addition to the grass line-up will be the Kverneland 2800F II front-mounted mower, which was introduced to the market earlier this year.
The two newcomers will be joined by a number of established machines from Kverneland’s grass range covering mowing, tedding and baling.
3 metre machinery to feature on tillage side
On the tillage side, there will be a strong showing of 3m machinery, with a range of machines suited to a broad mix of Irish tillage and mixed farming operations.
The renowned Kverneland ES plough will feature alongside the 3m Enduro tine cultivator and 3m Qualidisc Farmer disc cultivator, giving growers the opportunity to look over a range of options for cultivation and seedbed preparation.
The 3m Saturia will also be on display, offering farmers a one-pass drilling solution that combines seedbed preparation and drilling in a single pass.
Crop care will be represented by an Exacta CL GEOSPREAD fertiliser spreader and iXter mounted sprayer.
SILOKING and McConnel
As the Irish importer and distributor of SILOKING and McConnel machinery, Kverneland Group Ireland will also have machines from both manufacturers on the stand.
Dairy and beef farmers will have two SILOKING feeder wagons to look over, with the TrailedLine twin and single-tub feeders both making the trip to the Ploughing.
On the McConnel side, three models from the Power Arm hedgecutter range will be on display, with the 5045, 5562 and 6572T all set to feature.
Kverneland Group Ireland, along with product specialists, will be on stand 179 throughout the three days to talk farmers and contractors through the new launches, the machinery on display and the wider Kverneland, SILOKING and McConnel ranges.
