New Kverneland Knock-on ®
for Plough share
05 Nov 2013, Klepp, Norway
Kverneland Knock-on ® for plough shares will be launched at Agritechnica 2013,
following the successful launch of the Knock-on for Kverneland cultivators.
This new patented Knock-on system consists of 2 parts :
 a holder fixed to a regular Kverneland share

a Knock-on point
It is a unique solution with clear benefits to the farmers :
 Time saving : Knock-on for ploughs are changed within a 10th of the time required for a
reversible point. In abrasive soils where points must be changed frequently, or when
having a large plough, 5 furrows or more, saving 90% of your time makes sense.
 Easy : you only need 1 chisel and a hammer. 1 knock to remove it. 1 knock to fix the new
point.
 Economic : Tests indicate that 75% of a Knock-on point can be worn before changing it
instead of 60% for a reversible point. So there is more steel to wear, therefore they must
be changed less frequently.
 Practical : as an average, the wearing logic is 1 Knock-on holder for 3 Knock-on points.
The wearing of the share corresponds to the wearing of the Knock-on holder.
Therefore, there is no need spending time to remove the bolts of the Knock-on holder.
Save time by fitting a new share and knock-on holder at the same time.
 Good penetration and low pulling force : Knock-on has been tested in several soil
conditions. Even in the hardest soils, the points ensure a good penetration.

Furthermore, Kverneland bodies are renowned for low pulling forces in comparison with
competitors’ mouldboards. With Knock-on points, the pulling forces are still low and
hence the fuel consumption.
 Universal : Knock-on points are identical for Kverneland ploughs and Kverneland
cultivators. You can also use them for your Kverneland cultivator.
 Low wearing rate : Steel standards used for the Knock-on benefit from the unsurpassed
Kverneland steel technology. No compromise !
Kverneland Knock-on for plough shares will definitely make the life of farmers easier and
agriculture more profitable !
