The 2020 Future of Farming Expo presented by Kverneland Group Ireland represented the company’s 5th showing of the event.

As before the event took place at The Hub, Cillin Hill, Kilkenny on the 13th of February where the latest developments from the Kverneland, Vicon, Siloking and McConnel brands were on show. The Expo follows on from the recent Agritechnica Show in Germany where Kverneland Group showed new machines for the first time along with new features and updates to its current range of machines.

Looking at the Arable sector Kverneland Group Ireland are introducing the new DTX subsoiler and the new Enduro cultivator to the Irish market. The DTX is a solution for deep soil loosening and stubble cultivation in one pass, saving time and money while improving soil structure.

Attendees registering at the Future of Farming Expo 2020

Kverneland DTX
Designed as a mounted one-pass stubble incorporator/soil loosener for tractors in the 200-360hp range, the DTX is extremely versatile. It can be used for first entry with non-inversion tillage or to knock down ploughing whilst loosening down to 40cm. It is also ideally suited to establishing oilseed rape straight into stubble as it leaves a very levelled, fine and consolidated seedbed.

Kverneland Enduro
The Enduro is a versatile cultivator that can be used for both shallow stubble cultivation as well as deeper cultivation up to 35cm.

The Enduro/Enduro Pro with a well-organised tine arrangement over 3 rows of tines has been designed to ensure mixing and intensive cultivation even with long residues. The tine spacing is 285mm on rigid and 270mm/275mm on the folding versions; the tine position has been optimised to ensure a smooth flow and an optimum mixing of the soil.

Kverneland e-drill MAXI Plus Grain & Fertiliser
The new e-drill Maxi Plus Grain and Fertiliser will also feature, which is especially adapted where fertilising and seeding in one pass is required.

Kverneland has extended the model range of power harrow mounted seed drills by the combined grain and fertiliser version of the e-drill maxi plus. The e-drill maxi plus is designed for the needs of the European markets where a growing proportion of cereal is sown in spring and the application of a mixture of different seeds in one step is required.

In order to balance the shorter vegetation phase, the fertiliser application supports the initial germination and development of the plants in the most efficient way. In trials of spring sown crops, yields have shown increases up to 25% compared to crops where the fertiliser has been applied by other methods.

Kverneland Group Ireland was more than happy with the turnout. Close on 2000 attended. There were lots of new machinery for the tillage farmer on view. The event represented a golden opportunity for customers to get up close to touch and feel all that Kverneland machinery offered all under the one roof.
