Single Furrow Tractor-mounted Plough | Turnwrest Plough | Slatted Mouldboard Plough | Reversible Plough

Tractor-mounted ploughs are essential agricultural implements for soil cultivation. Primarily used for ploughing, these machines break up the soil, helping to bury weeds and plant residues while creating ideal conditions for sowing.

Tractor ploughs are available in a variety of configurations to suit different soil conditions and tractor power ratings. This category includes models with varying numbers of furrows, different adjustment and offset systems, as well as fixed or movable hitch versions designed to meet specific operational requirements. At AgriEuro, you can choose from a wide range of tractor ploughs suitable for both hobby farming on small plots and more intensive work on larger agricultural areas.

• Standard tractor-mounted ploughs: single- or double-furrow models designed to turn and cultivate the soil deeply, ideal for vegetable gardens, small fields, vineyards and olive groves;
• Reversible tractor-mounted ploughs: implements featuring a reversible configuration, designed to operate in both travel directions and produce more uniform furrows.

A rear tractor plough is an essential agricultural implement for soil cultivation, particularly during the initial stages of field preparation. Its primary purpose is to carry out ploughing, namely lifting and turning over soil clods.

This process is usually performed after harvesting, with the aim of removing plant residues and weeds so they do not interfere with the growth of the next crop.
Although it can be carried out at different times of the year, the most favourable periods are generally the intermediate seasons.

The plough is also useful for other preparatory operations, such as subsoiling and shredding, which further improve soil structure. Depending on its configuration and the number of furrows, a plough can be used on soils with different characteristics, ranging from light soils to more compact ground. Single-, double- and triple-furrow ploughs provide specific solutions for different soil types, and the choice mainly depends on the desired furrow depth and width. Tractor power and plough working width are key factors in ensuring efficient operation.

In summary, a tractor plough is used to:

• Break up the soil to facilitate the incorporation of organic matter.
• Remove weeds and crop residues.
• Prepare the seedbed, improving soil quality.
• Reduce soil compaction, enhancing water and nutrient absorption.

Its use is particularly suitable for agricultural land intended for annual crops or for preparing soil before new sowings.

Ploughing refers to the process of lifting and turning over soil clods. It helps to break up compacted ground, allowing the soil to absorb water and nutrients more effectively. In addition, ploughing helps remove weeds, roots and residues from previous crops, creating more fertile soil ready for sowing.

Operations carried out before and after ploughing can be divided into:

• Land preparation: land clearing, drainage works, and similar activities.
• Preparatory operations (periodic): including preliminary operations (subsoiling, shredding, etc.) and complementary operations (cultivating, harrowing, rolling, etc.).
• Subsequent operations (when crops are already present): hoeing, earthing-up, and similar tasks.

The key rules for achieving professional ploughing results are as follows:

• The cut made by the coulter must be clean and vertical;
• The furrow cut must remain on a horizontal level (without steps) and must not damage the wall of the previous furrow;
• The turning over of the soil clods should be as complete as possible; fertilisers, manure and any weeds present should be thoroughly buried;
• The furrow behind the plough must remain clean, without soil falling back into it;
• Furrows should be straight and parallel to one another and maintained at the same depth;
• Headland work (or finishing operations) should be carried out using cross furrows while levelling the soil and creating a slight slope towards the headland.

There are many reasons for carrying out ploughing, with the primary one being seedbed preparation.
Additional benefits include:

• Restoration of ideal soil conditions: Turning over the soil exposes fresh soil at the surface, encouraging healthy crop establishment and growth.
• Improved aeration and permeability: The soil is renewed and becomes more porous, allowing water and organic matter to penetrate more effectively.
• Weed control: Soil cultivation destroys unwanted vegetation and helps reduce the activity of potential pests.

The operating principle of a rear tractor plough is relatively straightforward: the tractor, through its engine and power transmission system, pulls the plough, whose furrows lift and turn over the soil. The plough structure is designed to ensure uniform and precise soil cultivation, even on medium- and high-density soils.

1. Hitching and adjustment: Tractor ploughs are generally equipped with a three-point linkage that allows the implement to be attached to the tractor. This linkage may be fixed or adjustable depending on the model and soil type. Fixed-hitch ploughs are simpler and more robust, making them suitable for lighter soils or occasional use, while hydraulic or screw-adjustable hitches provide greater control over the plough’s lateral position during operation, improving manoeuvrability.
2. Side offset: The plough may feature different lateral adjustment systems to better adapt to soil conditions and operational requirements.
3. Number of furrows: The number of furrows is one of the most important factors when selecting a plough. Furrows are the components that actually lift and turn the soil. Ploughs may be equipped with between one and three furrows.
4. Working depth and width: The ploughing depth mainly depends on the soil type and tractor power. Effective ploughing relies on the correct adjustment of these parameters, ensuring uniform soil cultivation.
5. Operation and adjustment: Effective plough operation requires a good understanding of speed and working-depth settings. The plough must always be correctly positioned in relation to the ground to ensure proper soil turnover and prevent excessive strain on the tractor.

1. Offset adjustment system

The plough offset adjustment system determines how easily the implement can be manoeuvred and adapted to different soil conditions.

• Manual adjustment: Allows the plough frame to be moved sideways manually. This is a simple and economical solution but requires greater operator involvement.
• Screw adjustment: Uses a threaded adjustment mechanism to move the plough laterally. It offers greater precision than manual adjustment but is slower than a hydraulic system.
• Hydraulic adjustment: Enables lateral movement of the plough directly from the tractor controls, ensuring quick and convenient adjustment. This is the preferred option for frequent operations and soils requiring more precise settings.

• Light-duty plough: Ideal for compact tractors and light cultivation work on small plots. Suitable for less compact soils and non-intensive operations.
• Medium-duty plough: Designed for medium-sized tractors, providing an excellent solution for medium-scale cultivation tasks. Combining good working performance with a competitive price, it is particularly suitable for semi-professional farming.

• 1 furrow: A single-furrow plough is designed for light soils. It performs the work in a single pass but at a shallower depth.
• 2 furrows: A double-furrow plough is ideal for moderately compact soils and offers greater efficiency, improving both working depth and overall cultivation quality.
• 3 furrows: A triple-furrow plough is the best choice for heavy or highly compacted soils. It provides greater ploughing depth and more uniform cultivation, although it requires a more powerful tractor.

1. Type of work required: The choice of plough largely depends on the intended application. For light work on easy soils, a single-furrow plough may be sufficient. For heavier soils or larger areas, double- or triple-furrow ploughs are recommended.
2. Size of the area to be cultivated: Working width is an important factor. If large areas need to be cultivated quickly, a wider model, such as one with a working width of 113 cm, is the ideal choice. Conversely, for smaller plots, a narrower plough may prove more efficient and easier to handle.
3. Tractor power: One of the most important considerations is the power of the tractor that will be used with the plough. The tractor must be capable of handling the implement safely and effectively. A plough that is too large for the available tractor power will reduce efficiency and may cause mechanical damage, potentially invalidating the tractor warranty.
4. Working depth and soil type: Ploughing depth varies according to the type of soil being cultivated. Light soils can generally be worked using a single-furrow plough, while compact or heavy soils require double- or triple-furrow models capable of achieving greater depth and optimum soil turnover. It is important to ensure compatibility between the plough and soil conditions in order to avoid inefficiencies or equipment damage.

The working depth of a rear tractor plough depends on several factors, including soil type and plough configuration. In general, a plough can operate at depths ranging from 20 to 40 cm, although in some cases it may reach even greater depths. The ideal depth also depends on the type of furrow body and tractor settings. For example, a triple-furrow plough can generally achieve greater depths than a single-furrow model.

The main factors affecting ploughing depth include:

• Type of plough: disc and rotary ploughs can often work deeper than mouldboard ploughs.
• Furrow configuration: ploughs equipped with multiple furrows (two or three) tend to achieve greater working depths.
• Tractor settings: tractor power output and operating speed directly influence ploughing depth.
• Soil type: hard or compact soils may allow deeper ploughing, whereas softer or sandy soils generally require shallower working depths.

There are several types of plough, each designed to meet specific agricultural requirements and soil conditions. The main types include:

• Mouldboard plough: the most common and traditional type. It consists of a coulter and mouldboard that turn over the soil. This type is ideal for light soils and for deep, thorough ploughing.
• Disc plough: particularly suitable for hard, stony soils or land containing significant crop residues. The discs are less affected by soil hardness than mouldboards, allowing deep and uniform cultivation.
• Rotary plough: mainly used on highly compacted or heavy soils. The rotating blades penetrate the soil more effectively, maintaining consistent depth and uniform cultivation.
• Rear-mounted plough: fitted to the rear of the tractor. It is ideal for smaller plots and agricultural operations requiring greater manoeuvrability.
• Reversible plough: designed to turn the soil without requiring the tractor to reverse direction. It is particularly useful for increasing efficiency when ploughing large areas.

Tractor power is a key factor when selecting a plough. The power required depends primarily on the type of plough, the number of furrows and soil conditions. The following examples provide a useful guide:

• Single-furrow plough: can generally be used with tractors rated between 30 and 50 HP. Suitable for light soils and small areas.
• Double-furrow plough: requires a tractor with approximately 60 to 80 HP. This type is ideal for moderately compact soils and offers greater working efficiency.
• Triple-furrow plough: designed for tractors with at least 90 HP. Suitable for compact and heavy soils as well as large agricultural areas.
• Disc or rotary plough: these models may require higher-powered tractors, typically from 70 HP upwards, particularly when working in very hard or difficult soil conditions.

Rear tractor ploughs can be equipped with between 1 and 5 furrows, depending on soil conditions and operational requirements. The number of furrows is primarily determined by the size of the area to be cultivated and the required ploughing depth.

• 1 Furrow: suitable for light soils and small plots. Easy to manoeuvre and requires less tractor power.
• 2 Furrows: ideal for moderately compact soils, providing greater efficiency than single-furrow models and suitable for medium-sized areas.
• 3 Furrows: designed for heavy or highly compact soils, enabling deep cultivation over larger areas.
• 4 or More Furrows: ploughs equipped with more than three furrows are generally used by large agricultural enterprises and require high-powered tractors, typically exceeding 100 HP. They are ideal for intensive operations on demanding soils.

An "out-of-furrow" plough is a type of plough designed to cultivate the soil without creating a deep furrow. It is typically used for shallow cultivation or on land that does not require significant working depth, such as continuously cultivated fields or agricultural soils where minimal disturbance to the soil structure is desired.
