For more soil conservation and convenience, the SERVO 4000 and the optional on-land equipment can be used with the tractor wheels in the furrow as normal, or with the tractor level on the unploughed land. The on land system allows tractors with wide tyres and crawler tracks as well as steering systems to easily plough outside the furrow.
The principle of the SERVOMATIC control centre and the configuration of the adjustment points remain unchanged with the on-land equipment. However, the hydraulic first furrow adjustment and the plough beam pivot cylinder are required for on-land operation. In addition, components such as the beam link differ from those on the in-furrow only version, which means that it is not possible to retrofit the on-land equipment.
Tractors with an external width of up to 3 m can be used for on-land ploughing, leaving sufficient space to the furrow ridge. This allows ploughing to be carried out by tractors with large-volume wide tyres. The pressure applied to the ground is minimised as a result. Driving in the furrow is possible with tractor inside track widths starting from 1050 mm.
To change from driving in the furrow to on-land ploughing, the frame is moved to the on-land position by the first furrow adjustment cylinder. The swing-out path can be set using an adjustment sleeve, depending on the outer width of the tractor. This minimises the turn-over radius and reduces the forces acting on the plough. The pulling point is also preset for on-land operation, and is adjusted automatically by the linkages integrated into the control centre, so it normally does not require any correction. The beam angle needs to be adjusted.
