Skimmer

A wide choice of skimmer geometries achieves the best ploughing pattern for all conditions. The tools support the reliable incorporation of various plant residues for blockage-free work.

Skimmer adjustable without the need for tools

The depth is adjusted using the hole matrix on the leg without the need for tools. The position of the leg in relation to the mouldboard can be adjusted using the hole matrix on the plough frame. The skimmer is protected against stones by a shear bolt.


V1 skimmer

Designed for all skimmer applications.


V2 skimmer

Designed for high volumes of organic matter and deep ploughing.


V3 skimmer

Good working results especially when shallow ploughing.


V4 RW skimmer

Special synthetic material especially for use on very sticky soils in combination with the 50 RW mouldboard.


V6 skimmer

Large, high shape with additional trashboard for incorporating large quantities of organic matter, especially maize straw.

Skimmers

The various shapes of skimmer are designed to cut the furrow ridge vertically ahead of the plough share. The clean cut makes it easier for the mouldboard to turn the ridge and clear the bottom of the furrow, especially when ploughing crops with high density roots or grassland. This also helps the depth control of the plough because the tractor then drives at a consistent depth with the plough being guided by the tractor hitch.


Landside knife coulter

A simpler alternative to the disc coulter is the knife coulter, which thanks to its low weight delivers excellent results in soil with low levels of organic residues. Can be mounted on the last furrow, or on all furrows.


Plain or scalloped disc coulters

  • Diameter 500 or 590 mm for optimum adjustment to the working depth with good self-cleaning properties

  • Star-shape indentations for added strength

  • Especially wide bearing spacing for the highest durability

  • Scalloped disc coulters for good rotation in high levels of organic matter


Spring-mounted coulter disc

  • Special linkage combined with spiral spring

  • Pre-tension adjusted using spindle

  • Simple method of avoiding stones and roots

  • Only in combination with the NOVA stone protection system

  • Plain or scalloped discs


Adjustable bracket

The horizontal position of the disc coulter can be varied using the bracket. Depth is adjusted using toothed segments. On PLUS ploughs the disc coulter adjusts automatically according to the furrow width.

  • Bracket positioned forward: The disc coulter is located in front of the skimmer. Plenty of free space for large volumes of organic matter (such as maize straw, for example).

  • Bracket positioned back: The disc coulter is close to the skimmer for light, free-flowing soil and shallow ploughing.
