KVERNELAND OFFERS HYDRAULIC OVERLAP

-

KVERNELAND’S latest offering in silage mower territory is the 3336 MT, a 3.6m impressive mounted mower conditione­r with a new suspension concept that delivers constant ground pressure and hydraulic adjustment of overlap.

The mowing unit is suspended by four suspension arms that allow it to float independen­tly over the field and adjust accurately to ground contours.

Ground pressure is easily adjusted from the tractor seat, hydraulica­lly and with an easy to read pressure scale on the mower for clear guidance.

During mowing the carrying arm always remains even to the ground, giving the mowing unit the freedom to instantly compensate and float across uneven ground contours.

The advantages are that it leads to less damage and faster regrowth from the stubble and minimum dirt into the crop. When lifting the mower on headlands, only the mowing unit is raised, while the headstock remains in a fixed position. This provides the 3336 MT with a level ground clearance of 500mm across the full working width.

Being able to adapt to changing field conditions on the go is key. Kverneland says the 3336 MT will allow you to do this with the new concept for hydraulic adjustment of overlap.

The adjustable overlap is designed as a telescopic arm in the mower’s suspension; adjusting the overlap is done hydraulica­lly from the tractor cab. This enables you to increase the overlap on the combinatio­n when opening up fields or working in odd shaped plots, and reduce overlap when doing straight passes.

Starting retail price for this latest Kverneland mower is €19,600 plus VAT.
