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

• 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

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 ”butterflyposition” 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.
