More about Ploughs Click to enquirePloughing is a method of deep tillage which results in a complete inversion of the soil. The plough will turn over the upper layer of the soil in a single pass, which can bring fresh nutrients to the surface. It also buries weeds, trash, and the remains of previous crops, leaving an exposed surface that is highly porous and ready to be drilled for seeding. Ploughing is mostly carried out in the winter months.
The first consideration when buying a plough should be the ground it will be working; for stony ground, consider an auto-reset machine to reduce stoppages. Soil type is also important, as it dictates which mouldboard type will work best. The horsepower of your tractor will determine the size of the plough you can pull. Additionally, there are options to make the plough easier to use, such as hydraulic vari-width and hydraulic front furrow adjustments. If you’re interested in top brands, consider exploring options from leading manufacturers like Lemken Ploughs, Kverneland Ploughs, and others known for quality and reliability. And if you’re still unsure, check out our used plough buying guide for further insights.
To protect the legs of a cultivator or plough from damage, many machines will have shear bolts. These bolts pass through the leg and frame of the machine and are designed to snap when the legs come in contact with a rock or other unmoving object. The idea behind this is to save the frame and leg from bending, using an incorrect shear bolt and result in the bolt not shearing and expensive damage occurring to the machine.
Ploughing is a labour-intensive process, and it is tempting to ditch it in favour of much wider cultivation machinery, but ploughing is a very important part of the cultivation system. Ploughing does something that no other cultivator does; it completely inverts the soil burying the trash and weeds. Ploughing every few years and vastly improve control of stubborn weeds such as blackgrass.
It depends on where you are – plough is the preferred spelling of the word in forms of English found outside North America, whereas plow is the preferred spelling in the United States and Canada.
Ploughs come in a multitude of different types. The main four types of ploughs are disc ploughs, mould-board ploughs, reversible mould-board ploughs and harrow ploughs.
A plough is an important agricultural tool, which is used to turn and break up soil providing nutrients to the surface, while burying crop residues and weeds below.
In ploughing, a furrow is the long, narrow trench or groove created in the soil by the plough as it turns over the earth. The upturned ridge of soil beside the furrow is sometimes referred to as the body, though this term can also describe the plough’s main part that cuts and turns the soil.
