Ploughing productivity. For centuries, farmers have relied on the plough for one of the most reliable methods of eradicating weeds. However, the advantages of ploughing are manyfold, and include breaking through the capillary, combining crop residues and fertilizer and promoting the release of nutrients through mineralisation. The control of root weeds and fungal diseases is also another advantage of ploughing. Furthermore, ploughing assists in the repair of compaction as well as increasing the top surface volume by some 30% - which assist with water absorption. All of this combines to...

Easy adjustment New Holland’s fully mounted ploughs feature a standard automatic adjustment system, aligning the plough as the front furrow is adjusted. This system uses parallelogram geometry – which adjusts the plough once the basic setup has occurred. Once a plough is correctly adjusted, optimal results will be achieved. This system offers numerous benefits for daily use • The front furrow width and alignment are adjusted to a basic setting using separate turnbuckles which do not influence each other • Correct adjustment ensures the plough follows freely, using the minimum power required...

A guide to choosing the right plough. New Holland has developed a range of ploughs to ensure that you can choose the right one for your operation. In order to enhance flexibility, New Holland uses a modular system which means modules are bolted and not welded to the frame. The below chart takes into account the two most important factors when selecting a plough: tractor power and the required number of furrows.

Mounted or semi-mounted Light, Medium, Heavy Duty or Extra Heavy Duty Model numbering explained New Holland’s plough model numbering system is designed to clearly indicate the range and specification of each individual unit. The first letter is always P on mounted reversible ploughs, and PS on semi-mounted reversible ploughs, followed by L, M, H or X, indicating Light, Medium, Heavy Duty or Extra Heavy Duty ranges*. If the plough has variable width adjustment, the feature is depicted by a V. The next number following the letters identifies the number of furrows. The model number ends with...

Types of plough: bodies and points. New Holland has developed a range of plough bodies to ensure you can select not only the right plough for the application, but one that works with your soil and topographical conditions. Together with a choice of different points you can exactly define the effectiveness of the soil engaging parts, short points for rocky or stony ground, or more streamlined flush points for particularly sticky soil types. The AX is a turning plough body with an extremely low draft requirement. Perfect for all applications and for use in all soil types, it is suitable for...

Precision points The share points on New Holland plough bodies are extralong and have been engineered by design to ensure uniform wear. The design delivers outstanding soil contact. On Flush and Special points, the share and the mouldboard are in the same plane, making for a uniform wear profile, reduced power requirements as well as reducing the likelihood of soil sticking to the mouldboard. Three types of point are available • Reversible point for improved capacity and increased durability • Flush point for improved soil flow and minimum adherence in sticky soils • Short point for rocky...

Quality headstocks. All New Holland ploughs are fitted with robust and durable headstocks which have been perfectly matched to their usage profile. New Holland also offers two different kinds of stone release system, hydraulic or shear bolt, so you can make the most practical choice relative to your fields characteristics to ensure the soil keeps turning over. 125 headstock The 125 headstock has been designed for use with tractors of up to 180hp and featuring a category II or III cross shaft. 150 headstock The 150 headstock has been designed for use with tractors of up to 220hp and...

Efficient stone release system. New Holland offers two distinct types of stone release system: hydraulic and shear bolt. Featuring one of the highest release heights on the market, the system ensures that minimum pressure is transferred to the point during release, for smoother ploughing. Shear bolt stone release system This system is ideal when working in less stony soils. The simple design results in a lower weight plough with a centre of gravity which is closer to the tractor – therefore reducing lift requirements. The shear bolts are manufactured from hardened steel and designed with a...

10 FULLY MOUNTED REVERSIBLE PLOUGHS The PL range of ploughs. The PL range of ploughs has been designed for small arable or mixed farms and is compatible with tractors of up to 140hp. The range comprises of fully mounted three and four furrow reversible ploughs that offer a low center of gravity with minimal lift requirements. Stone protection The PL range is fitted as standard with individual shear bolt protection, however, for those operators working in stony ground, the optional fully automatic hydraulic stone release system can be specified. Adjustable furrow width The furrow width can...

Turn under The PL range features ‘turn under’ technology, which means that the plough bodies pass under the frame and the depth wheel passes up high when the plough is turned. Maximum horsepower requirements Stone release system Under beam clearance Working width adjustments Working width (from-to) with plough distance 80 cm Working width (from-to) with plough distance 90 cm Working width (from-to) with plough distance 100 cm Release height Headstock axle diameter App. weight, no options chose

12 FULLY MOUNTED REVERSIBLE PLOUGHS The PM range of ploughs. The mid-range PM series of ploughs have been designed to work with tractors of up to 180hp. These reversible, fully mounted ploughs, benefit from a modular support beam and draw frame, which evenly distributes loads across the entire length of the plough, and offers the additional benefit of an extendable plough. The result: a strong and simple design with logical, intuitive adjustment. Efficient turnover Operators can choose the direction of the turnover, and the large pivot shaft diameter uniformly spreads the turning load over...
