Subsoilers BlackStone

BlackStone drainage ploughs are tractor-mounted agricultural implements designed for subsoiling and creating deep furrows in the soil. The tine penetrates compacted layers without completely overturning the soil profile, helping excess water drain away and breaking up the plough pan. These machines can be used in cultivated fields, orchards, vineyards and soils affected by compaction or waterlogging.

BlackStone develops, imports and distributes machinery for gardening, agriculture, construction and outdoor surface maintenance throughout Europe. Over time, the brand has expanded its range to include soil-working implements, tractor-mounted machinery, wood chippers, rotary tillers, power barrows, log splitters and power generators. This growth has enabled BlackStone to serve both hobby users and operators who need machinery for more frequent work.

The range combines functionality, technical innovation and affordability, with attention to operator safety and compliance with the European standards declared by the brand. Its European distribution and logistics network is supported by spare-parts availability and an after-sales service. The drainage ploughs in the range provide a compact solution for localised work, pipe laying and periodic maintenance of cultivated soils.

At AgriEuro, products can be selected according to their technical features, helping users identify the drainage plough best suited to their tractor, soil and intended work. The comparison should also take into account the soil consistency and the depth of the compacted layer.

• Tractor power: the range includes configurations suitable for tractors with power ratings between 30 and 60 HP, depending on the model. This value must be compared with the drainage plough specifications and actual soil conditions, since hard soil requires greater traction effort;
• Single tine: the single-tine structure concentrates the action along one working line and creates a deep, well-defined furrow. This configuration is suitable for localised work, small surfaces and operations between rows where sufficient space is available;
• Working depth: the BlackStone drainage ploughs in this category reach a declared maximum working depth of 28 cm, which may also vary according to tractor power and soil consistency. A suitable adjustment allows the tine to cut into the compacted layer without exposing the tractor and implement to unintended stress;
• Three-point linkage: the Cat. 1-2 linkage connects the drainage plough to the tractor’s hydraulic lift. Before working, the linkage category, pin diameter, correct alignment and stability of every connection must be checked;
• Reversible and replaceable ploughshare: the hardened-steel point can be reversed or replaced when it shows significant wear. Regular inspection of the cutting edge supports consistent penetration and limits additional strain during travel;
• Pipe-laying guide: the rear structure guides a pipe with a diameter compatible with the selected configuration into the furrow. The range includes 53 and 80 mm systems, suitable for laying a pipe during the same pass used to open the soil;
• Weight and strength: the configurations in this category belong to the medium-light series and have different weights. A heavier implement offers greater penetration capacity, but the lifting capacity and stability of the tractor must be checked carefully;

The BlackStone drainage ploughs in this category are intended for a hobby level and non-intensive work. They can be used for periodic maintenance of small plots, vegetable gardens, vineyards and orchards, as well as for the localised laying of compatible pipes. The frequency of operations should be assessed according to soil compaction, moisture and physical properties.

Buying a BlackStone drainage plough from AgriEuro provides access to services dedicated to agricultural machinery both before and after delivery. Support continues over time through orderable spare parts and specialist assistance.

• Fast and free shipping handled by AgriEuro logistics centres: available equipment is prepared in dedicated facilities and entrusted to carriers using methods suited to its weight and dimensions. Free shipping applies according to the conditions stated on the product page and in the terms of sale;
• Option to order spare parts that are always available: after purchase, the spare-parts diagram associated with the product can be viewed in the personal account. This system makes it easier to identify the correct component and reduces the risk of ordering incompatible parts;
• Attentive and personalised after-sales support: the service provides assistance with technical queries, spare-parts identification and requests concerning the purchased product. Where applicable, work may involve the central workshop or service centres connected to AgriEuro;

Purchase the BlackStone drainage plough suited to your tractor and intended soil work from AgriEuro.

A BlackStone agricultural drainage plough cuts deeply into the soil and breaks up compacted layers that obstruct water flow. Its tine creates a vertical furrow without completely overturning the soil profile. The implement can also guide compatible pipes into the furrow through its pipe-laying attachment.

The required power depends on the model: the configurations in this category are suitable for ranges between 30 and 60 HP. The specifications of the individual drainage plough must be checked before purchase. Very compact soil, greater working depths and dry conditions increase the resistance encountered by the tine.

The BlackStone drainage ploughs in this category reach a declared maximum depth of 28 cm. The actual value may vary according to tractor power, hydraulic lift adjustment and soil consistency. When the soil offers high resistance, the depth should be increased gradually.

A drainage plough should be used when the soil shows compaction, waterlogging or a plough pan within the working depth of the machine. Excessively wet soil tends to stick to the tine and may become further compacted. Extremely dry soil also offers greater resistance, so moisture conditions should be assessed before starting work.

A drainage plough belongs to the family of soil-loosening implements and works by creating a vertical cut in the soil. The term subsoiler describes implements with a similar function, designed to break compacted layers. A conventional plough cuts and turns over the soil slice, changing the arrangement of its layers more substantially.

The BlackStone drainage plough connects to the hydraulic lift through a Cat. 1-2 three-point linkage. The lower pins and top link must be secured according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Tightness, alignment, freedom of movement and tractor lifting capacity must be checked before setting off.

Yes, the BlackStone drainage ploughs in this category have a pipe-laying guide designed to lay compatible pipes while the furrow is opened. Depending on the configuration, declared diameters of 53 or 80 mm are available. The pipe diameter and flexibility, planned route and absence of underground obstacles must be checked before work.

BlackStone drainage ploughs can be used in vineyards and orchards when the tractor width, spacing between rows and root depth allow safe passage. The location of irrigation systems and buried pipes must be known. The route must also maintain a suitable distance from plants, posts and main root systems.

After every operation, soil and residues must be removed from the tine, ploughshare, frame and pipe guide. Fasteners, pins, connection points and the condition of the reversible point must be checked. Worn or deformed parts must be replaced with compatible spare parts before the next pass.

The selection should begin with tractor power, hydraulic lift capacity, implement weight and the diameter of the pipe to be buried. The required depth, soil consistency and frequency of work should then be assessed. The selected model must comply with the power range and all compatibility requirements stated in its specifications.
