Kverneland 3400 B VARIOMAT
High output for in-furrow/on-land operations and low maintenance costs
On-land & In-furrow New Generation of mounted reversible ploughs. Maximise output and ploughing performance 5 - 7 furrows
Highlights
Low lift requirements, easy to pull Vary-Width® - "On the move" furrow width adjustments Simple to adjust and to operate Extendable by 1 furrow from 3 to max 5 furrow ploughDescription
Designed for In-Furrow and On-Land operations. The Kverneland 3400 B Variomat® is fitted with shearbolt legs. It offers comfort with lower lift requirements than other brands. The headstock No 300 provides the necessary strength for a smooth reversing. Robust frame 120 x 200 mm. In its on-land configuration, the plough’s impressive offset (up to 3,85 m) allows the tractor to be positioned exactly to the drivers’ requirements.
Highlights
- Easy swap from In-furrow to On-land operations. The driver has fingertip control
- Smooth turnover action thanks to an efficient parallel linkage system which hydraulically moves the plough into a balanced position
- Ideal for tractors having dual wheels or rubber track
- Quick central adjustments of skimmers for the perfect ploughing
- Optional automatic front furrow adjustment. Mechanical front furrow adjustment is standard
- Unique wheel memory system that maintains the desired furrow depth settings after the reversing cycle
- Safe transport: Kverneland Trailer Transport Solution (optional)
- Efficient re-consolidation in one pass. Kverneland packers and packer arm compatible
Features
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!
Frame availability
- 150 x 150mm for 3,4, 5 furrows, extendable by 1 furrow max. 5 F. plough.
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.

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!
