Its working elements are right- and left-hand plough bodies equipped with “18”...
  • Page 9 Rolling coulter The rolling coulter is mounted on the end pair of plough bodies to ensure a suitable furrow shape. It puts up lower operating resistances compared to the knife cut form of ploughing. Gauge wheel This ensures furrow depth is maintained and longitudinal ploughing to ensure uniform depth of the furrow, regardless of surface irregularities.

    4 Plough and tractor settings The tractor selected for use with this plough should have the characteristics described in the following paragraphs. The hydraulic system must be efficient and have two pairs of hydraulic couplings in accordance with ISO 7241-1 A, controlled by a twin distributor. The pressure in both rear tyres of the tractor should be the same value to avoid the formation of uneven ridges.

  • Page 17: Preparing The Plough

    4.1. Preparing the plough The plough is usually delivered ready to be used. Due to transport limitations, it may also be at times delivered partially dismantled. Check the technical condition of the plough, especially the moving parts and all bolt connections, before commencing work. 4.2.
  • Page 18: Adjustment Of The Hitching Bar Height

    Connection of upper connector: larger ploughs Oval (longitudinal) holes allow for better • longitudinal ploughing of the terrain. Use for 4-5 furrow plough, in extreme cases 3-furrow plough. • A fixed hole prevents the plough from rising up on heavy and stony soils. Use for 2-3 furrow ploughs.
  • Page 19: Adjusting The First Ridge

    Setting the optimum furrow width is of particular importance for reducing the working resistance of the agricultural machinery and minimizing the degree of soil clumping after ploughing. The operating width of a plough body must be adjusted according to the weather conditions, terrain and the capabilities of the farm tractor. Indicated above is the position of the actuator within the agricultural machinery and the direction of its movement.
  • Page 20: Levelling

    4.7. Levelling The plough is longitudinally levelled by means of the upper connector. The plough frame should always be parallel to the ground. The upper connector bolt should be in the middle of the longitudinal hole. The plough is transversely adjusted using the bolts with handles.
