Used Plough

What is a plow? The plow is defined as: “an agricultural instrument used to plow and work in an asymmetrical way, rejecting and turning the soil on one side only”. Plowing the land means turning it over, which will allow all the residue from previous crops to be buried and thus aerate the soil and prepare it as best as possible for future sowing. There are currently several types of plows: the single plow plow, the reversible plow plow, the mounted or semi-mounted plow plow. All plows have either mouldboards or discs. Once pulled by animals, the plow has remained a primary soil preparation tool and is now pulled by an agricultural tractor. What are the parts of a plow? A plow, no matter what type, is always made up of the same main parts. Undoubtedly the most important parts since it is these which allow the turning of the soil, the ploughshare, the coulter and the mouldboard and the skimmer constitute the plow body. Each has a well-defined role: the share will cut the earth horizontally. The coulter performs the vertical cut. The moldboard comes in last as it turns the piece of earth that has just been cut upside down. The skimmer is a non-essential part but it is often present on the plows since it allows to mow what remains of the previous crop. The plow is of course made up of a frame. The age is the main part that makes up this frame. The tractor will be able to pull the draft thanks to its coupling head. How to choose your plow? As with all agricultural implements, it is imperative to know your needs before purchasing a plow. It is essential to question the future use of the machine in order to choose the number of plow bodies, the desired working width but also the safety of the plow (as with the non-stop system from Kverneland). The plow body must be chosen according to the nature of the soil to be treated: thus, the parts which compose it, mouldboards, nozzles and skimmers will also be calibrated according to the quality of the soil. How to properly adjust your plow? It takes several steps to achieve an optimal adjustment of your plow. First of all, the tractor itself must be adapted to the plow it will have to tow behind it thanks to its 3-point hitch. You can also do some small checks on the farm tractor such as the tire pressure and the positioning of the jack stands. Next, you need to inspect your plow parts and make sure they are in good condition ... of course, parts in advanced wear and tear will do a worse job than serviced parts. It is recommended to favor large mouldboards for your skimmers. As a last step, you must check the correct height of your skimmers, because they are the ones that will allow quality burial.
