Kverneland 6300 S
New Generation of Ploughs
Versatile plough for high output performance
5 - 8 Furrows
Low operating cost and ideal weight transfer for high ploughing performance.
The best crops need the best soil preparation.
Ploughing is for the majority of farmers one of the most efficient methods to control weeds, create humus and prepare soil for seeding efficiently. Keeping an eye on the bottom line is equally important. The burial of residues must be perfect and easy to achieve while cost must be minimized: low fuel consumption, low wearing of parts, low lifting capacities, low pull requirements. Comfort in transport and in operations is a must in modern farming. The plough must be robust and lasts long as any profitable investments.
Designed for large areas. It adapts to varying soil types and conditions.
The advantages:
- rear wheel for optimized weight transfer from the wheel of the plough to the tractor’s rear wheels. Benefits are: easy pulling, minimized fuel consumption, good ploughing depth control, high quality ploughing.
- large wheel for best stability especially in wet conditions. It limits sinking and soil compaction.
- aero-profile legs for best soil flow.
- centrally adjustable skimmers for quick operations for higher ploughing performance
- robust construction: Cat III / IV, 200 x 200 mm main frame (no welding that would weaken it)
- unsurpassed longevity thanks to the Kverneland steel heat treatment technology to the complete plough.
- safe reversing and minimal headlands thanks to the robust turnover mechanism for an optimal angle.
- reliable Variomat® system for “On the Move” working width adjustments.
- Non-stop ploughing with the unrivalled Kverneland Auto-reset system. No maintenance. Easy to add/remove leaf springs.
- hydraulic or manual front furrow adjustment
- excellent manoeuvrability of the plough during work and transport
- Kverneland Packer available

Innovations
Aero-profile legs
- Special design for best soil flow.
- 80 cm leg height to prevent potential blockage in heavy residues, manure, cover crops or when ploughing deeper.
- Robust legs: pre-shaped components limiting weldings.
- Low pulling requirement and hence fuel consumption thanks to low weight hollow legs.
Auto-reset system
- Unrivalled Kverneland mechanical leaf spring system for Non-stop ploughing.
- No Maintenance.
- Legs, plough and tractor lives are protected and lengthened.
- Quality ploughing: legs release independently one from another and come back to the correct position.
- Easy adjustment of releasing forces: unscrew 2 bolts to add or remove springs.

Smart skimmers adjustment
- Unique: central adjustment of skimmers working depth.
- Quick operations: right and left skimmers adjust simultaneously.
- High ploughing performance: the correct adjustment of skimmers contribute to a quality ploughing.
- Disc coulters also available: plain or notched (18”/45cm or 20”/50cm)
Unique frame robustness
Importance of heat treatment
- The frame is an essential part of the plough construction. For Kverneland quality standards, a non heat treated part is a weak part!
- Kverneland frames are heat treated by induction twice. The temperature transfer to the steel is closely monitored. The frame gains 3 times as much strength. This unique Kverneland induction processes provides robustness and flexibility while ensuring an outstanding durability.
Stronger but not heavier
- For the equivalent Kverneland robustness, competitors would use more steel in thickness or in dimensions, therefore producing a heavier frame.
- Heavier frame impacts negatively pulling forces, wearing of parts, lifting capacities, tractor life time, and fuel consumption.
Long lasting
- Weldings are also a critical weakness for a plough frame. Kverneland frames are supplied as one sole part!
Vari-Width® (Variomat) System
Stepless Vari-width® system for infinite adjustments of working width. Kverneland’s world patented system is available either with hydraulic or mechanical furrow adjustments.
Benefits:
- Easy variation of ploughing capacity
- Perfect match at all time between tractor capacity, implement and soil conditions
- Time saving: up to 30% more capacity
- Cost saving: up to 18% reduction in fuel consumption in relation with increased ploughing capacity
- Better work: plough up to the hedges, fences, trees and ditches
- Minimum wear: unique non-wearing linkage joint between the beams and the mainframe section
- Perfect line of pull at all time. Kverneland’s Vari-width offers the correct parallel linkage along the whole plough. Therefore, lower draft requirement, minimum wear and tear.

Heat Treatment
Kverneland Heat Treatment Technology:
- more than 140 years of experience
- steels that withstand the toughest of conditions
- best robustness/weight ratio on the market
- for equivalent robustness, competitors would add more steel and therefore more weight, quicker wear, dissappointing ploughing results
Kverneland Steels:
-
Benefits from less weight:
easier to pull/lower fuel consumption/lower lift requirement/reduced wear and stress for the tractor/more economical … -
Benefits from more resistance:
minimum breakage/less maintenance/lower rotation for wearing parts/time saving/highest 2nd hand plough value/longer life for the plough/more economical…
Problems always happen when the plough is being used, when the work must be done!
A Kverneland plough is a peace mind!
