Kverneland RN

Kverneland Engineering in the RN Series

The Kverneland RN series of reversible mounted plows is a benchmark in agricultural engineering, prioritizing the balance between structural durability and implement weight. The backbone of the plow is a hollow, heat-treated steel frame. Kverneland’s signature oil-quenching process gives the steel a unique metallurgical property: it maintains the elasticity required to absorb stress loads when hitting hidden obstacles in the field, preventing structural fatigue and fracturing.

Stone Protection System

The RN series utilizes a proven mechanical leaf spring protection system. Unlike hydraulic alternatives, this design requires minimal maintenance and offers a consistent release pressure. Each plow body is equipped with a dedicated set of leaf springs; upon encountering a stone or stump, the body trips vertically and rearward, then automatically resets to the original working position. This is essential for maintaining a uniform plowing depth even in challenging, stony ground conditions.

Soil Turnover and Traction Efficiency

The core advantage of the Kverneland RN lies in its moldboard geometry, engineered to minimize surface friction. This design facilitates a smooth inversion of the soil slice, which significantly reduces the draft force required, allowing for better fuel economy and reduced wear on the tractor's linkage. Key features include:

• A reinforced turnover axle designed to eliminate play and maintain stability throughout years of heavy-duty operation.
• Wear-resistant shares and points, optimized for quick field replacement and consistent penetration even in hard-packed soil.
• Adjustable working width, allowing operators to fine-tune the plow to varying soil types and tractor capacities.

Choosing the Kverneland RN series is a strategic move for operations that require high reliability, field-serviceability, and long-term durability without the unnecessary complexity of electronic systems.
