Stubble cultivation: incorporation, levelling and consolidation in one pass
Powerful and efficient performance – that is what the Enduro/Enduro Pro offers. The machine can operate at high forward speeds whilst maintaining a consistent working depth.
For today’s modern farms, the demands for cultivation have changed. Tight time slots have to be balanced with higher machine performance. Restricted crop rotations call for an adaption in technology that accomplishes all requirements of modern crop cultivation. Kverneland proposes different configurations depending on the conditions of use:
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.
On Enduro Pro a maximum working depth of 35cm is possible (30cm on Enduro). The 320mm bolted wings, also available as Knock-on, completely cut the entire working width even when the machine is adjusted for shallow work. The high inter-row clearance of 750mm and the high underbeam clearance of 870mm ensure blockage-free operation under any conditions (maize, sunflower, wheat, oil seed rape stubbles or big intermediate crops).

The frame is a result of a long study made by FEM (Finite Element Method) calculation to optimise the steel over the working width and proposing a strong structure suitable for tractors up to 350hp.
The complete Enduro/Enduro Pro range has been designed to be combined with the heaviest rollers in the range. All the most aggressive scenarios (deep working when turning, headland turns, transport tests, ...) have been considered to make the different frames as strong as possible and thus guaranteeing the proven Kverneland quality.
For stony conditions and high Penetration - Triflex 700 & Shear-bolt Tines
The auto-reset Triflex tine uses the well-known Kverneland leaf spring system to ensure a high point pressure of 700kg and a smooth release curve in case the tine hits an obstacle. A shear-bolt protection tine is also available. Both hollow, specially heat-treated tines are of a narrow design with two working zones which reduce the pulling forces whilst ensuring a perfect penetration even in heavily compacted soil. It is the perfect choice for deep loosening and working on heavier soil types strewn with stones.
The Triflex 700 and shear-bolt tines can be equipped with different shares to adapt to varying working depths and tasks. Seven options of share design are available with the Knock-on® system. This is the easiest way of changing parts on a cultivator, necessary when adjusting the machine for the next job or when changing wearing parts.
Leaving an even surface
In order to create an even surface for a fine seedbed, Kverneland offers two options of levelling tools for the Enduro and Enduro Pro models: levelling tines and levelling discs. The levelling equipment is directly linked to the roller. If the working depth changes via the roller, the levelling equipment will stay at the same optimal levelling position thanks to the parallelogram on the Enduro Pro model.
Levelling tines are a very easy and economic way to handle normal straw conditions on light to medium soil types. When it comes to heavy amounts of residues and in soil conditions with clay or loam, the levelling discs are more suitable.
Both versions are overload protected by a spring or an elastic rubber buffer and mounted via a parallelogram (on Enduro Pro) to avoid damages in stony or other difficult conditions. Individual springs ensure the individual release of tines or discs and keep levelling quality even in stony conditions. The working angle of the levelling tines or discs can be adjusted in order to increase or decrease the aggressive position. The centralized levelling adjustment of the complete levelling device is easily done via adjusting handles.
To respect the transport width on the mounted versions with 3.00m and 3.50m working width, the outer tines or discs can be hydraulically or mechanically folded in.
The roller on a cultivator is an elementary tool with different tasks:
The choice of the right roller depends on the soil type, soil condition, crop rotation and lifting capacity of the tractor.
Actipack ø560mm - 205 kg/m
Actiring ø540mm - 160 kg/m
Actiflex ø580mm - 160 kg/m

User comfort is key - easy adjustment
Kverneland always focuses on safe operation and user comfort. With all the adjustments being done without the need for tools, a lot of precious time is saved!
Adjusting the Enduro and Enduro Pro is easily done. When setting the working depth of the tines, the parallelogram design allows the correct depth of the levelling discs to be maintained without adjustment in most conditions.
In addition, there is hardly any maintenance to be done apart from changing wearing parts.
The Enduro can simply be connected/disconnected from the tractor due to the easy hitch linkage. And this is even more comfortable with the hydraulic depth adjustment.
