Hybrid plough VariTansanit - Lemken

2Relaxed and safe at work

Increased safetyThe weight transfer to the tractorrear axle and the beneficial centre ofgravity lead to increased stability andenable safer headland turns even onhillsides.Hybrid plough withadjustable top linkLEMKEN’s VariTansanit hybrid ploughcomes with 6 or 7 furrows and isequipped with an adjustable top linkand a load-sense line. Reacting to soilconditions, the plough transfersweight from the land wheel to thetractor rear axle in order to improvetraction and minimise wheel slip.Plough comparison3m, 6-furrow ploughs, 22 cm ploughing depthConsistent work quality at lower costsSource: DLG Test 03/07Unit Average wheel slip Average forward speedVariTansanit hybrid reversibleplough, full oil pressure on top link11.9 % 5.8kphVariOpal mounted reversibleplough16.8 % 5kphVariDiamant semi-mountedreversible plough23 % 3.8kphOn mounted ploughs, the tractor’sthree-point draft control ensuresoptimum draft on the plough. Ploughswith 6 or 7 furrows are mostly towedin a semi-mounted configuration torelieve stress on the top and lowerlinks and to account for the tractor’slift capacity and load rating.However, since the connection betweenthe semi-mounted unit and the threepointhitch prevents any transfer ofload from the plough to the tractor,optimum traction can only beachieved with a heavier tractor.Compared to semi-mounted ploughsof similar dimensions, the VariTansanitis expressly suited for smaller-sizedtractors, achieving the same level ofperformance at lower running costs.3

Optiquick forprecise ploughadjustmentZMPZZMPZAdjusting front-furrow width and pulling pointThe VariTansanit includes LEMKEN’sproven Optiquick fuel-saving system.••When setting the front-furrowwidth the tractor may still besubject to lateral forces from theplough. This happens when thepulling line does not intersect withthe centre (M) of the tractor rearaxle.••The inner turnbuckle eliminates anyside draft by directing the pullingline across the rear axle centre (M).In this process, the front-furrowwidth does not change eventhough the pulling point has beenre-adjusted.ZMPZZMPZAdapt to different working widthsThe front furrow and the optimumpulling point are automaticallyadapted whenever you decide tochange your working width.••No matter which working width,the pull line will always cross therear axle centre.4

No side draftwhatever theworking widthOptiquick adjustment centreAll Optiquick pivots have hard-wearingbushings, hardened pins and lubricationpoints.••This ensures a high level of stabilityand a long service life.••Instead of an external turnbuckle,the VariTansanit uses a combinationof hydraulic frame swivel actionand front-furrow adjustment tocompensate for lateral forces.Hydraulic furrow widthThe VariTansanit comes standard witha hydraulic working width adjustment.• • Optiquick eliminates side draft at allworking widths.••With an adjustment range of 25 to55cm per body, it meets all requirementsfor arable farmers.5

Trend-settingplough technologyReduced operator fatigueThe electronic HybridControl system isused to set, control and monitor allmain plough functions.••The required traction and ballastingvalues can be chosen using the dialon the terminal.••The electro-hydraulic controllerssense all variations in pressure viathe load-sensing line and ensurethe pressure value set on the terminalis maintained throughout.••The standard headland managementsystem automates lifting and turningsequences at the headland.••Turnover of the plough is fullyautomatic and is started using thejoystick.••The electro-hydraulic setting forpitch and front-furrow width allowscomfortable and precise adjustmentsfrom the tractor seat.6

ISOBUS technology and CCI 200 terminalISOBUS technology has been a majoradvancement to the VariTansanithybrid plough functions. Togetherwith the CCI 200 terminal, it supportsa variety of functions.••The terminal’s working screenoffers an overview of the mainfunctions and relevant settings,such as top link pressure, workingwidth or front furrow.••Main functions on the workingscreen can be selected directly bythe operator, for example to increase/decreasethe top link pressureor to enable/disable top linksensing.••Functions such as the pressuresetting can be entered by simplytouching the screen surface andentering numerical values insteadof using the dial.••The user-friendly joystick box is anoptional accessory. Up to threejoysticks can be easily allocated tofunctions including turnover, soilengagement and more. The joystickbox is mounted in the tractor cabwithin easy reach of the operator.7

Hydromatic Auto-Reset Overload Safety DeviceThe conceptThree-dimensionalattachmentUpwards and sidewaysmovementOn conventional overload devicesbased on a four-point attachment,the entire plough body will be out ofbalance when having to trip sidewaysand upwards at the same time.••This is because the body disengagesfrom three of its attachment points,which leaves only one point for themechanical or hydraulic reset todraw it back into position.The significant advantage of theHydromatic system is its solid connectionto the three-dimensional attachmentin any plough body position.••Each body is retained to the frameand cannot unlatch.••The innovative Hydromatic hydraulicoverload device will trip sideways andupwards at the same time, even whenhitting lateral obstacles.With up to 38cm of upward traveland 20cm of sideways travel, theVariTansanit has sufficient trippingcapacity to provide continuouslytrouble-free work.••High trip forces, which are adjustablefrom the tractor seat, ensure thesystem combines quality ploughingwith efficient plough protection.••As a further benefit, the systemdoes without any lubrication pointsand is completely maintenance-free.9

Reliable and costefficienton all soilsDuraMaxx - the perfect plough bodyThe DuraMaxx body is a radical newconcept increasing service life by anenormous 75% whilst reducing set-uptime by up to 80%!••All DuraMaxx components aremanufactured from much hardersteel than before. The material isno longer weakened by drillingand punching holes in it.••Mouldboards and slats are fullysupported by the frog. They are nolonger a load-bearing part of theplough body so their sole functionis to turn over the soil.••This means they can wear out to ahigher degree without the risk ofsnapping due to soil forces.10

Quick changes withouttoolsDuraMaxx plough bodies are designedfor quick and tool-less changing ofmouldboards, slats and shins.••The shin is held in place by a lynchpin, which is simply removed todetach the shin. The shin, in turn,holds the mouldboard or slats inplace. Once the shin comes off, themouldboard or slats slide forwardsand can be removed without theneed of tools.••Also the share point is attached witha single bolt only, which enablesmuch quicker changing than onconventional systems.Body assemblyThe DuraMaxx plough body is availablewith mouldboards or slats.••The mouldboard and the slats areattached with no more than threehooks.••On slatted bodies, the clearancebetween the slats and their supporthas been greatly increased. The supportis aligned with the slats, whichreduces the possibility of blockagesfrom soil getting stuck in the slats.DuraMaxx Hybrid forsticky soilsThe DuraMaxx plough body can alsobe configured with plastic slats. Theyare ideal for use on extremely stickysoils and in soil conditions with littlepressure on the mouldboard.••The best sliding properties areachieved by using plastic slats at thetop and bottom areas of the ploughbody, which are most susceptible toadhesion.••Therefore, the DuraMaxx bodyworks without any adhesion issueseven in extreme conditions.11

Ready for adverse conditionsFlat stalkAngle adjustmentTool boxFitting the frog onto a flat stalkprevents the skimmer from beingtwisted.••All types of share and mouldboardcan be easily exchanged, thanks tothe frog being common to allskimmer types.••For ploughing without skimmers,just remove two bolts to completelydisassemble the skimmer arm.Both the VariTansanit and theVariTansanit T are optionally availablewith an individual quick-adjustmentsystem for the skimmer angle.••This allows further fine-tuning oftrash burial where required.Maintenance of all LEMKEN ploughsis easy thanks to the toolbox whichholds tools, shear bolts and othersmall parts within easy reach of theoperator.D1 D0 M3M230 20 10 0 cm 30 20 10 0 cm 30 20 10 0 cm30 20 10 0 cmSkimmersSkimmers of different share lengthsensure trouble-free ploughing even inabundant surface trash.••The special shape of the sharesminimises wear and increasestheir service life, while creating anoutstanding soil flow.••The special shape of the mouldboardseparates the organic matter andneatly incorporates it into theground.••Plastic mouldboards are available forsticky soil conditions and soils exertinglittle pressure on the skimmer.Trash boardsThe trash boards are fitted directly tothe mouldboards and are fully adjustable.••They enable blockage-free workand clean incorporation even onextreme surface residue.••For sticky soils, trash boards are alsoavailable in plastic.12
