Farm ploughing is a method of deep tillage which results in a complete inversion of the soil. An agricultural plough turns 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.
Start with your conditions, then match features to suit.
Quick guide:
Ploughing completely inverts the soil, burying weeds and crop residues that shallow cultivators may leave near the surface. Used periodically, it can reduce persistent weeds such as blackgrass, reset surface compaction, and create a clean seedbed. Many farms alternate ploughing with low-disturbance systems to balance soil health and timeliness. For setup fundamentals, see our plough setup guides.
Both are correct. Plough is standard in the UK and most of the world. Plow is used in the United States and Canada.
Ploughs can be classified by:
A plough turns and breaks the soil, bringing fresh nutrients to the surface while burying crop residues and weeds so they decompose below. Set correctly, it levels and loosens the top layer to create a clean, even seedbed that drills well, improves seed to soil contact and supports uniform emergence.
A furrow is the long, narrow trench created as the body turns the furrow slice. The adjacent ridge of turned soil is the crown. A good setup gives uniform furrows with minimal open joints.
Yes, we recommend contacting the manufacturer or brand dealer.
Our second-hand machinery doesn’t carry a manufacturer’s timed warranty, but we stand by our word. If a machine has been workshop checked and the salesperson has the confidence to tell you it’s all good, we’ll stand behind it. Ask your salesperson about the cover and aftercare available for the specific plough you’re considering.
We can arrange delivery across the UK and export worldwide, with rates and lead times confirmed at purchase. We can also provide practical setup guidance and can advise you remotely. If you need on-farm assistance, let us know and we’ll discuss the options.
Yes. We welcome part-exchange. Share the make, model, number of furrows, body type, condition, photos and location, and we’ll provide a valuation to offset against your used plough purchase.
