Kverneland becomes a full liner in field sprayers with the introduction of the iXdrive
Kverneland is becoming a full liner in field sprayers with the introduction of the
iXdrive self-propelled field sprayer. The Kverneland iXdrive 4240 and 5240 will be
launched at Agritechnica 2015 in Hanover (DE).
Ergonomic Design and Excellent Comfort
“The iXdrive self-propelled sprayer is designed with big focus on reliability, durability and
easy maintenance to secure a cost efficient operation”, says Jeroen van Turenhout, product
manager. “The iXdrive is a combination of ergonomics, economics, efficiency and comfort in
one sprayer. Spraying jobs are often carried out in small time frames, so high capacity is
required. The cab is spacious, has a good visibility and gives the operator all the comfort he
needs”, according to Van Turenhout.

Kverneland Spraying Technology
The complete EasySet control panel is located between the wheels, at the left hand side of
the iXdrive. The control panel includes the electric valves, pumps, filters, chemical inductor
and the hose connections. So it has everything you need for filling and emptying the tank in
one place. The control panel is well protected behind a cover.
The iXdrive comes with the Kverneland iXclean Pro automatic valve management system as
standard. This means that all functions can be controlled from the cab. Switching between
filling, agitation, spraying, diluting, priming, rinsing and tank cleaning is extremely easy: just
push one button!
The IsoMatch GEOcontrol application is available as an option on the IsoMatch Tellus
terminal. In combination with a GPS receiver, it fulfils the needs in terms of easy, smart and
efficient farming. The operator can stay focused on driving, while IsoMatch GEOcontrol
lightens the work load.
Professional and High Tech Spray Booms
The iXdrive will be available in combination with the HSS spray boom from 27 up to 40
metres or the HSA 24 up to 30 metres aluminium spray boom. The HSS three-part-folded
spray boom profile combines a minimum of weight with maximum strength and stability. The
high tech HSA aluminium boom protects the nozzle holders efficiently within the bottom
profile and is designed for easy cleaning. Aluminium bonding instead of welding saves on
weight and has remarkable strength.
Both spray booms come with the iXflow spray line recirculation system as standard, with
pneumatic nozzle control to create a fast-reacting spraying system, well suited to higher
spraying speed and automatic functions with GPS.
Furthermore, the iXdrive is equipped with a strongly suspended parallelogram which gives
optimal stability in different road or field conditions.
The Solution for Optimal Crop Protection
For optimal protection of the crop the iXdrive is available with three different ground
clearance and track width combinations. The hydraulic adjustable track width ensures
optimal row spacing possibilities in different crops.
The hydro pneumatic suspension on both axles provides operator comfort and boom stability
in transport and field operation. The 3D rear axle suspension allows axle movement, but
limits the track influence on the spray boom. The strong chassis with optimal gravity point
brings a perfect 50:50 weight balance in every situation, without any influence from tank
filling or spray boom position. Manoeuvrability is guaranteed with 2-wheel/4-wheel steering
with standard ErgoDrive functionality and crab steering.
