Kverneland 3400 S
High output for in-furrow/on-land operations and low maintenance costs
On-land & In-furrow New Generation of mounted reversible ploughs. 5 - 7 furrows
Highlights
Efficient parallel linkage system for smooth turnover Ideal for tractors having dual wheels or rubber track Aero-profile high legs for best soil flow performance Quick central adjustments of skimmers Vary-Width® or easy mechanical width adjustmentDescription
Designed for In-Furrow and On-Land operations. Easy swap from one another: the driver has fingertip control. The Kverneland 3400 S stepwise offers comfort with lower lift requirements than other brands. Easy manual working width adjustments in steps of 5cm (2") 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 massive offset (up to 3,85 m) allows the tractor to be positioned exactly to the drivers’ requirements.
Highlights
- 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
- Aero-profile high legs for best soil flow performance
- 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 maintain desired working 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
Kverneland “TTS” (Trailer Transport Solution)
- The plough behaves like a trailer. Turnable cross shaft max. 45° mutual offset during transport.
- Safe: maximum security for anything/anyone around and for the driver. No tilting out when driving in curves.
- Easy conversion from transport to ploughing.
- The Kverneland TTS is an option
Aero-profile legs
- Special design for best soil flow.
- 80 cm leg height to prevent potential blockage in heavy residues, manure, cover crops or when ploughing deeper.
- Robust legs: pre-shaped components limiting weldings.
- Low pulling requirement and hence fuel consumption thanks to low weight hollow legs.
Auto-reset system
- Unrivalled Kverneland mechanical leaf spring system for Non-stop ploughing.
- No Maintenance.
- Legs, plough and tractor lives are protected and lengthened.
- Quality ploughing: legs release independently one from another and come back to the correct position.
- Easy adjustment of releasing forces: unscrew 2 bolts to add or remove springs.

Smart skimmers adjustment
- Unique: central adjustment of skimmers working depth.
- Quick operations: right and left skimmers adjust simultaneously.
- High ploughing performance: the correct adjustment of skimmers contribute to a quality ploughing.
- Disc coulters also available: plain or notched (18”/45cm or 20”/50cm)
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!
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.
Excellent Ploughing Quality
They are renowned all over the world for their:
- excellent ploughing quality
- outstanding wear resistance
- low draft requirements
Bodies of a unique steel.
Kverneland Technology: 12 hours carburising heat treatment process for:
- optimum wear resistance (sharp as a diamond)
- the necessary flexibility to absorb impacts

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!
