For healthy forage

"For me as an arable farmer and pig breeder, ploughing is still a priority, because I want to ensure there are no toxins in the forage. Especially after harvest maize, I believe that the straw should be ploughed in properly to avoid fusarium in the wheat. When it came to buying a new plough, we tried out a number of products, including the SERVO 4000 from PÖTTINGER. I came to the conclusion that this is a top plough and decided on the SERVO 4000 P with hydraulic furrow width adjustment and the hydraulic depth wheel. I especially like the excellent surface finish to the soil and the strong stability of the plough. What also intrigued me is how easy it is to set up. When I hooked it up, everything worked great right away. We are very satisfied with the plough."

Perfect results

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.

More space

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.

For high volumes of residues

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, 80 or 90 cm, depending on the model

• Point-to-point spacing depending on model 88, 95, 102 or 115 cm

• Wide selection of additional tillage tools for different requirements

Right up to the edge of the field

To achieve satisfactory and uniform working results, consistent depth control of the plough is needed using the depth control wheels. Depending on the requirements, a choice of proven pivot depth wheels, dual depth wheels and transport pivot wheels are available. Attaching the depth wheel close to the plough beam improves precision when fenceline ploughing, especially when using a narrow furrow width. This means that plant residues and weeds can be reliably incorporated right up to the edge of the field. 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.

Here, the optional disc coulter and landside knife coulter provide a well-defined furrow edge. This is particularly important with high volumes of organic matter and ploughing grassland or whole forage crop fields for clean and tidy working results.
