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.
The large adjustment range of the front furrow width makes it much easier to adapt the plough to tractors with different track widths. The adjustment can be carried out mechanically or hydraulically, and there is a scale for the inside track width of the tractor so that the correct position can be found quickly. When the furrow width is altered hydraulically, the front furrow is also adjusted automatically. Uniform turning of the furrow ridge from the first to last mouldboard is how top quality results are ensured.
The factory-set pulling point guarantees optimum power transmission while minimising wear. However, it is still possible to fine-tune the set-up. The pulling point is automatically adjusted when the furrow width is changed, ensuring that the pull line intersects as close as possible to the centre of the rear axle. There is no need for readjustment.
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.
The on-land option on the SERVO 4000 series provides an additional level of variability. With this equipment, the plough can be used both in the furrow and on unploughed ground. Switching between on-land and in-furrow ploughing is possible at any time in a few simple steps without the need for tools.
Driving outside the plough furrow means that tractors with large tyres or even tracks can be used. This results in less pressure being applied to the ground. Because the tyre does not run along the bottom of the furrow, pressure does not reach the deeper soil layers and compaction in the furrow is avoided. This conserves the soil structure and promotes plant growth.
With the tractor driving parallel to the ground and not tilted sideways, driver comfort is increased, and can be further enhanced by using automatic steering systems.
