To ensure the best ploughing pattern, PÖTTINGER offers the right mouldboards for all soil types and ploughing strategies. The different lengths and curvatures are available as sold as well as slatted mouldboards. Shallow as well as deep ploughing can be achieved with consistent quality to match your requirements. This creates a "clean slate" . This is the basis for a good start for the next crop.
The wide furrow bottom clearing of the plough bodies means that wide tractor tyres can be used to conserve the soil. A subsoiler can be added to loosen previous compaction and give plants access to deeper soil layers. As a result, there is then a higher volume of soil to accommodate roots, and there are more nutrients available for the crop.
Incorporating large quantities of straw and plant residues places special demands on a plough. The underbeam clearance and point-to-point spacing are selectable. As a result, with a high underbeam clearance and sufficient point-to-point spacing, organic matter is reliably conveyed under the soil without blockages. Skimmers and trashboards provide additional assistance with this task. This creates the best conditions for subsequent work steps and has a positive phytosanitary effect. The risk of fungal disease from crop and stubble residues on the soil surface infecting subsequent crops is reduced.
Underbeam clearance 74 or 80 cm, depending on the model
Point-to-point spacing 88, 95 or 102 cm, depending on the model
Wide selection of additional tillage tools for different requirements
The optional disc coulter and landside knife coulter provide a well-defined furrow edge. This is particularly important for field edges and ploughing grassland or whole forage crop fields for clean and tidy working results.
The depth wheels mounted close to the plough beam improve fenceline performance. Ploughing to the very edge of the field is possible even with small furrow widths. This means that plant residues and weeds can be incorporated cleanly without crossing the field boundary. This is essential for grasses such as couch grass, which often spread from outside the field. Clean and tidy work from the first to the last furrow is ensured.
To achieve satisfactory and uniform working results, constant depth control of the plough is indispensable. The working depth is controlled on the one hand by the tractor's hitch hydraulics, and on the other hand by the depth control wheels on the plough. Depending on the requirements, a choice of proven pivot depth wheels, dual depth wheels and transport pivot wheels are available. To ensure maximum soil conservation, the depth control wheels can be fitted with large pneumatic tyres as an option.
