Providing mechanical control of pests and weeds through soil inversion, working depths ranging from 6.0-18cm, and the 10-furrow plough is equipped with short, high-speed bodies of either steel or plastic construction.
Furrow widths are mechanically adjusted from 30-50cm creating a range of working widths from 3.0-5.0m. The 65cm of point-to-point clearance is said to contribute to a compact overall size for a 10-furrow fully-mounted implement.
“Ecomat is a half-way house between a plough and a cultivator,” explains Kverneland product specialist Adam Burt. “As a shallow plough, it still turns soil over but without needing to work as deep as a traditional plough. This means it’s much easier to pull, and it does a far better job of inversion than a cultivator.”
