Plough body

The plough bodies are selected depending on the soil properties and working conditions.

  • The working width of the plough body is adjustable.

  • The working width for all of the plough bodies must be adjusted the same.

  • The sum of all working widths and the front furrow width corresponds to the working width implement.

Working width of the plough body

The working width is the actual cutting width of a plough body, measured at 90° to the direction of travel.

Front furrow width

  • The front furrow width is measured from the furrow edge to the landside of the first plough body.

  • The front furrow width is affected by the following factors:

    • Inner track width of the tractor

    • Working width of the plough

    • Tilt

    • Working depth

Working width of the plough

  • The working width of the plough corresponds to the field width that is worked in one pass.

Example for 6-share plough:

Working width = 5 x working width of one plough body + front furrow width
