The VARI-MASTER L was created with the aim of becoming the new benchmark for high precision ploughing thanks to its simple and ingenious adjustments. To meet the growing demand for precision farming, KUHN goes further and develops Smart Ploughing; intelligent management of the plough. The entire plough is controlled by the Isobus terminal in the cab to improve comfort and ploughing. In addition, exclusive KUHN functions are provided to the VARI-MASTER L: Smart Ploughing - Lift: individual and automated body lift and also Smart Ploughing - Line: variable width by GPS. The intelligence of the plough uses Smart Ploughing to benefit from a level of comfort never before attained and exceptional simplicity of work. Contractors with employees with little or no experience in ploughing can have peace of mind; with the VARI-MASTER L ploughing quality is guaranteed by the plough. Smart Ploughing is available on the KUHN VARI-MASTER L in furrow and on land mounted plough range.

Your benefits

Adjust your plough from the ISOBUS terminal

All the settings of the VARI-MASTER L are done from the Isobus terminal in the cab

Adjust your plough from the ISOBUS terminal

Smart Ploughing refers to all the functions of the plough available on the Isobus terminal in the cabin. All adjustments are performed from the Isobus terminal: working width, offset, working depth, angle. The various adjustment scenarios, depending on the crop to be planted, (wheat, maize, beets, etc.) are saved so that they can be reproduced without losing any time at entry to the field. It is possible to modify them in real time for perfect adaptation to heterogeneous conditions.
A single Isobus console replaces a multitude of control boxes to simplify the user's work while increasing their level of comfort.
For more ergonomics, the settings can be adjusted using an auxiliary joystick so that the functions that are useful to you can be at hand.

Variable width by GPS

Smart Ploughing Line corrects the field curves for perfectly straight ploughing

Smart Ploughing - Line : variable width by GPS

Smart Ploughing - Line allows you to adjust the working width by GPS. It corrects the curves of the field for perfectly straight ploughing. The ploughing line is instantly adjusted to correct deviations. This option ensures uniform ploughing irrespective of the field. The Smart Ploughing - Line system is fully integrated into the plough design and controlled by the Isobus terminal. The driver can fully concentrate on driving the tractor. With Smart Ploughing - Line, comfort and quality of work are undeniably improved compared to a standard plough.

Lift: automatic lifting of the plough bodies

The automation of the individual lifting of the bodies makes it possible to create clear headlands without raising the weed seeds

Smart Ploughing - Lift: automatic lifting of the plough bodies

Smart Ploughing - Lift, patented by KUHN, supplements the basic functions with automation of the individual lifting of the bodies associated with GPS location. Ploughing becomes much more comfortable for the driver. No need to be an expert to produce quality ploughing; you just need to focus on driving.

Smart Ploughing - Lift guarantees homogeneous work over the entire field with a clear and fast lift of each body to remove the "Z effect" at the headland. Overlapping at the end of the field is reduced to a bare minimum, which improves residue burial and reduces settlement at the headland. Smart Ploughing - Lift is a solution for effectively managing the pressure of weeds through better burial, limiting the risk of propagation. In addition, the creation of a clear and uneven boundary between the ploughed lengths and the headland, greatly reduces shocks and jolts during passes at the headland.

The plough is automatically turned around at the end of the field as soon as all the bodies are lifted. The driver does not need to perform any manipulations during the headland about-turns since the lifting and turnaround of the plough are performed automatically.

With Smart Ploughing-Lift, the bodies can be managed manually from the cab. Individual management of the bodies instantly adapts to traction need and working conditions. It is possible to work asymmetrically (e.g.: Four bodies on one side and six bodies on the other side) to optimise traction power, especially on slopes and hills.
