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. With a large choice of mouldboards, a "clean slate" can be achieved in different soil conditions to provide the basis for getting the next crop off to a good start.
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.
Underframe clearance either 80 cm or 90 cm (Standard and PLUS ploughs)
Inter-body spacing either 95 cm or 102 cm
Wide choice of additional tillage tools
The optional disc coulter and landside knife coulter provide a well-defined furrow edge. This is particularly important for field edges and ploughing grassland or whole forage crop fields for clean and tidy working results.
The depth wheels mounted close to the plough beam improve fenceline performance. Plowing to the very edge of the field is possible even with small furrow widths. This means that plant residues and weeds can be incorporated cleanly without crossing the field boundary. This is essential for grasses such as couch grass, which often spread from outside the field.
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.
