Especially in challenging conditions, it is essential to get enough traction to reduce wheel slip. If the tractor wheels slip, they can cause damage to the soil structure with smearing and compaction, which forms a barrier to water, nutrients and plant growth. Boosting traction to achieve efficient progress also reduces fuel consumption per hectare and increases area output.
In addition to optimising tyre pressure and fitting sufficient ballast, SERVO hitch-mounted reversible ploughs offer an extra technical feature to help achieve this. With the integrated TRACTION CONTROL traction booster, power transfer from the tractor to the ground is improved by transferring weight from the plough to the rear axle of the tractor.
A high wear resistance of the tillage tools is decisive for a long service life and ensures low wear costs. DURASTAR points and share blades ensure enhanced durability in the most difficult conditions and contribute to long replacement intervals and cost effective ploughing. In addition to reversible points, a particularly robust combined share and point is also available, which demonstrates incredible strength when working in soil with high levels of stones. Reliable soil penetration and perfect work quality are always guaranteed as a result.

The number of days available for working in the field are often limited due to poor weather conditions and need to be used with the highest possible efficiency to get the necessary jobs done. Turning the plough over at the headland takes up valuable working time and affects overall output.
For large furrow widths and a high number of furrows as well as low lift travel of the tractor hydraulics, the optional plough beam pivot cylinder makes the turnover sequence efficient and trouble-free. Pivoting the entire plough beam towards the centre axis creates a small diameter arc of rotation. The tractor linkage and the turnover mechanism are protected by the lower forces acting on them, and ground clearance is significantly increased. In combination with the hydraulic furrow width adjustment, the servo system only rotates through the necessary arc according to the set furrow width. This saves unnecessary travel. In addition, it is not necessary to reduce the furrow width to a minimum, and the components of the hydraulic furrow width adjustment system are not stressed during the turnover process.
Ploughing with a furrow press combines two work steps that can be carried out at the same time. Following immediately after ploughing, the loosened soil is consolidated. This helps to protect valuable moisture in the soil from evaporation and make it available to the seed that is going to be sown next, and also also saves on the number of passes, time and money.
The furrow press is drawn along by a large press arm. This is hydraulically decoupled at the headland. The catching position can be adjusted in several steps to guarantee smooth operation with different furrow widths. On SERVO PLUS ploughs with hydraulic furrow width adjustment, the catching position of the press arm is adjusted automatically according to the furrow width. For safe road transport, the press arm can be fixed within the width of the tractor.
