Kverneland Group Ireland to Host a Show-Stopping Line-Up At The 2024 National Ploughing Championships

Kverneland, proud sponsors of the Rep. of Ireland Ploughing Team, have some new developments on stand this year you won’t want to miss.

It wouldn’t be the Ploughing Championships without the iconic presence of Kverneland, a name that has become synonymous with top-tier agricultural machinery. This year, Kverneland is set to make a big impression by showcasing a comprehensive range of cutting-edge Arable, Grass, and CropCare equipment, alongside Siloking feeders and McConnel machinery as official importer and distributor for in Ireland.

Revolutionary Ploughing with the Kverneland Plough Body No. 40

Leading the charge at this year’s event is the Kverneland Plough Body No. 40, a new addition to Kverneland’s ploughing lineup which will be on a 5f ES plough along with a Packomat. Specifically designed for large tractor tyres, the Plough Body No. 40 offers lower pulling forces, meaning reduced fuel consumption and less strain on your tractor—key factors in extending machinery life and cutting costs.

Building on the success of previous models, the Plough Body No. 40 is engineered to improve soil turnover and aeration, which are crucial for enhancing soil health and boosting crop yields. Even in challenging conditions, this plough body ensures optimal performance, setting the stage for a successful harvest.

Introducing the Kverneland Rotago F Power Harrow

Also making its debut is the Kverneland Rotago F Power Harrow, a next-generation machine designed to transform seedbed preparation. Available in both basic and ISOBUS versions, the Rotago F allows for on-the-go adjustments of the levelling bar and working depth, providing unmatched flexibility and efficiency.

With its advanced features, including a pushed gear case and parallelogram linkage, the Rotago F offers seamless adjustments without the need to re-align the 3-point linkage or rear roller. This not only makes operations easier but also supports sustainable farming by minimizing energy use.

Pairing perfectly with the Rotago F is the F-Drill CB F, a precision seeding solution that’s all about adaptability. Designed to work seamlessly with the Rotago F power harrow, the F-Drill CB F allows for customizable working widths and the ability to sow different crops at varying depths in a single pass, maximizing efficiency and yield potential.

With easy depth and pressure adjustments—whether manually or via ISOBUS—the F-Drill CB F ensures perfect seeding conditions every time. For added stability during transport, a supporting wheel is available, making it a practical choice for navigating Ireland’s roads.

Advanced Grassland Machinery

This year, Kverneland will also showcase machinery aimed at improving forage production.

The 6500F FixBale is all about reliability and efficiency. Designed for high-density baling, this machine delivers consistent bale quality, reducing the time and energy you spend in the field. It’s perfect for farmers who want to make the most out of their grass, hay, or straw, ensuring that every bale is tightly packed and easy to handle.

On the other hand, the 853 Pro Straw Chopper is a must-see for those with livestock. This machine is designed for precision chopping, providing finely chopped straw that’s ideal for bedding or feed. Its robust design ensures durability and long-term performance, making it a sound investment for any farm.

Kverneland will showcase its flagship butterfly mower, the 53100MT, a masterpiece of mowing technology. With a working width of up to 10.2 meters and the QuattroLink ‘race car’ suspension, this mower delivers unmatched ground tracking and cutting performance, ensuring exceptional forage quality and efficiency.

In addition to these, Kverneland’s FastBale will be on display — the world’s only non-stop round baler that eliminates the need to stop and start between bales. The FastBale’s unique pre-chamber system ensures consistent bale density and high-quality forage, making it a must-have for any farmer looking to streamline hay and silage operations. This machine is sure to draw a crowd as always.
