A correct plough set-up is the basis for efficient and uniform work. The innovative SERVOMATIC control centre with four-joint linkage makes it even easier and quicker to set up the plough correctly and adjust it to the tractor. This is especially important when the plough is used with different tractors.
Beam angle, front furrow width and pulling point can be adjusted in just a few steps. All the necessary setting points are intuitively configured, easily accessible and finely adjustable. The geometry of the headstock can also be adapted to the tractor using different attachment positions. Easier lifting of the plough is ensured.
The PLUS hydraulic furrow width adjustment enables quick adaptation to soil conditions. The triggering pressure of the NOVA stone protection system can be conveniently changed using the spool valve on the tractor.
While designing the SERVOMATIC control centre, great importance was placed on a large adjustment range of the front furrow width. This means that SERVO hitch-mounted reversible ploughs cover tractor inside track widths from 1,000 to 1,500 mm. This facilitates the use of tractors with different track widths or tyre dimensions as well as different power classes.
Adjustment of the front furrow width is performed mechanically, or, as an option, hydraulically without having to leave the tractor cab. A clearly visible scale helps to quickly find the correct position based on the inner track width of the tractor.
On SERVO P and N ploughs with hydraulic furrow width adjustment, the four-joint linkage automatically adjusts the front furrow when the furrow width is adjusted. Uniform turning of the furrow ridge from the first to the last mouldboard ensures excellent working results.
A high degree of flexibility is a basic requirement for efficient work in the field. While working around obstacles is often difficult with a rigid plough, only one adjustment of the spool valve needs to be made with the PLUS hydraulic working width adjustment system. This allows the plough to be steered with accuracy around obstacles. The PLUS system also comes into a class of its own when ploughing triangular field sections, because it makes it a lot easier.
In addition to being more convenient, the furrow width can be quickly and precisely adjusted to different working conditions. Especially when the furrow depth is changed, adaptation of the furrow width is useful to make sure you always get the furrow ridge turned over properly to produce perfect quality tilth. Organic material is reliably incorporated and the soil surface is finished with minimal voids.
To achieve optimum power transmission and to reduce wear and fuel consumption, it is essential that the pulling point of the plough is set up perfectly. A pull line running through the middle of the tractor's rear axle results in a centred power transfer without the plough crabbing to one side or the other.
That is why the pulling point on SERVO hitch-mounted reversible ploughs is preset at the factory and requires no adjustment under normal conditions. Adjustment is still possible if needed.
Just as with the front furrow width, hydraulic furrow width adjustment automatically adjusts the pulling point, eliminating the need for readjustment. This way, once the plough is set up, you always achieve the best transfer of power and minimum wear.
