For generations, agricultural workers have depended on the plow as a steadfast technique for weed removal. Nonetheless, there are numerous benefits to ploughing, such as penetrating the soil structure, integrating crop remnants and fertilizers, and facilitating nutrient release through mineralization. Another benefit of ploughing is its effectiveness in managing root weeds and fungal diseases. Moreover, ploughing aids in alleviating soil compaction and expanding the top surface volume by approximately 30%, enhancing water absorption capabilities. All these factors come together to create a significant agronomic benefit for farmers.
PLOUGHING PRODUCTIVITY - Throughout history, farmers have depended on the plough as a highly dependable approach for weed removal. Nonetheless, plowing offers numerous benefits, including disrupting capillary action, integrating crop remnants and fertilizer, and encouraging nutrient release through mineralization.
LOW FUEL CONSUMPTION - Due to their well-engineered design, New Holland plough necessitate up to 15% less draft effort when compared to prominent competitors.
OVER 165 YEARS OF PLOUGH MAKING EXPERIENCE - New Holland ploughs are manufactured at our specialized facility located in Överum, Sweden. The Överum plant has a rich history of over 165 years in plough production, ensuring that every plough crafted benefits from this extensive experience.
A GUIDE TO CHOOSING THE RIGHT PLOUGH
New Holland offers a versatile range of ploughs tailored to meet the specific needs of different farming operations. To enhance flexibility, the ploughs utilize a modular system where components are bolted, not welded, to the frame. This design allows for easier customization and adaptability to varying field conditions and requirements. When selecting the right plough, the two most critical factors to consider are the tractor's power and the desired number of furrows. The following chart provides a guide to help you choose the ideal plough based on these parameters, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency in the field.
TYPES OF PLOUGH: BODIES AND POINTS
New Holland offers a diverse range of plough bodies, allowing you to select the ideal plough for your specific application, while also ensuring compatibility with your soil type and topographical conditions. The flexibility of these plough bodies is further enhanced by the choice of different points, enabling you to fine-tune the effectiveness of the soil-engaging parts. For rocky or stony ground, short points are recommended for their durability and ability to handle challenging conditions. On the other hand, more streamlined flush points are ideal for particularly sticky soil types, ensuring efficient soil penetration and turnover. This customization ensures that New Holland ploughs deliver optimal performance across a wide range of farming environments.
QUALITY HEADSTOCKS
New Holland ploughs are designed with robust and durable headstocks that are meticulously matched to their intended usage. To accommodate varying field conditions and ensure effective soil turnover, New Holland provides two distinct types of stone release systems: hydraulic and shear bolt. Each system is tailored to offer practical solutions for different field characteristics, allowing you to choose the most suitable option for your specific ploughing needs. The hydraulic release system provides adjustable, responsive release under pressure, while the shear bolt system offers a simple, cost-effective solution for dealing with obstructions. Both options are engineered to maintain consistent ploughing performance, ensuring the soil remains properly turned and prepared.
EFFICIENT STONE RELEASE SYSTEM
New Holland provides two distinct types of stone release systems: hydraulic and shear bolt. Both systems are designed with one of the highest release heights on the market, ensuring minimal pressure is transferred to the plough point during release. This feature helps achieve smoother ploughing by effectively managing obstructions and maintaining consistent performance in various soil conditions.
THE PMV RANGE OF PLOUGHS
New Holland’s PMV range of ploughs delivers exceptional flexibility and precision in ploughing. These reversible, fully mounted ploughs are equipped with hydraulically operated working width adjustment, allowing for easy customization of ploughing width. Designed to work seamlessly with tractors of up to 180hp, the PMV range offers a versatile solution for various ploughing needs, enhancing efficiency and adaptability in the field.
ALIGNMENT COMES AS STANDARD
All models in the PMV range come standard with a hydraulic alignment cylinder, simplifying the essential task of maintaining proper plough alignment. The working width of these ploughs can be adjusted from 30 to 50 cm, ensuring flexibility for various ploughing requirements. Importantly, during the turning process and while the frame remains aligned, the working width remains consistent, ensuring uninterrupted performance and efficiency in the field.
THE PXV RANGE OF PLOUGHS
The PXV range of ploughs sets the standard for professional ploughing, designed to work with tractors up to 360hp. These reversible, fully mounted ploughs feature hydraulically adjustable working widths, allowing for precise customization. The extendable frame further enhances operational flexibility, making the PXV range a top choice for demanding ploughing tasks.
THE PXV OL RANGE OF PLOUGHS
The New Holland PXV OL (On-Land) ploughs are engineered for heavy-duty, fully mounted reversible operations, offering flexibility for tractors equipped with wider tyres. These ploughs can operate with the tractor either in the furrow or on the unploughed ground. When configured for on-land use, the plough maintains perfect balance during turnover, eliminating the need for additional alignment movements and making the turnover process faster and more efficient.
PLOUGHING DEPTH
In the field, tractor traction is enhanced with hydraulic draft control, which manages the plough's depth. However, when soil conditions change, operators may need to manually adjust the depth control lever to maintain consistent ploughing depth. Using a depth wheel on the plough further aids in achieving uniform results, as it helps ensure that both the depth wheel and draft control are working together effectively for the most consistent ploughing depth.
