For generations, agricultural workers have depended on the plough 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 has meticulously developed a versatile range of ploughs to ensure you can select the perfect fit for your specific farming operation. To enhance operational flexibility, New Holland employs a modular system in its plough design. This system ensures that modules are bolted rather than welded to the frame, offering greater adaptability and ease of maintenance.
The selection chart below considers the two most critical factors when choosing a plough: the power of your tractor and the required number of furrows. This chart will guide you in selecting a plough that matches your equipment's capabilities and your operational needs, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency in the field.
TYPES OF PLOUGH: BODIES AND POINTS
New Holland has developed a diverse range of plough bodies, ensuring that you can select the ideal plough for your specific application, taking into account soil type and topographical conditions. The selection process is made even more precise with the availability of various plough points. These options allow you to tailor the effectiveness of the soil-engaging parts to match your field conditions:
Short Points: Ideal for rocky or stony ground, providing durability and efficiency in challenging conditions.
Streamlined Flush Points: Designed for particularly sticky or clay-heavy soil types, ensuring smooth soil penetration and minimal clogging.
By choosing the right combination of plough body and point type, you can optimize ploughing performance, improving both efficiency and results across different field conditions.
QUALITY HEADSTOCKS
Every New Holland plough comes equipped with sturdy and long-lasting headstocks tailored to its specific operational needs. Additionally, New Holland provides two types of stone release systems—hydraulic and shear bolt—allowing you to select the most suitable option based on your field conditions, ensuring consistent soil turnover.
EFFICIENT STONE RELEASE SYSTEM
New Holland provides two different stone release mechanisms: hydraulic and shear bolt systems. The hydraulic option is notable for its high release height, which helps to minimize pressure on the plough point during stone release, resulting in smoother ploughing.
PSXV
New Holland’s PSX plough range is engineered for heavy-duty ploughing tasks, offering configurations with five to eight furrows for high-capacity work. These models are built with robust frames designed for substantial ground clearance, ensuring efficiency in various field conditions.
The PSXV series from New Holland further advances this with reinforced beam housing technology. These ploughs are equipped with one of the largest wheel sizes available, 15.5/80-24, which reduces pulling resistance during fieldwork and enhances stability during road transport. The PSXV ploughs are suitable for use with tractors up to 360hp.
PLOUGHING DEPTH
In-field tractor traction is enhanced with hydraulic draft control, which helps manage plough depth. However, when soil conditions change, the operator might need to adjust the depth control lever to maintain a consistent ploughing depth. Using a depth wheel on the plough can aid in this process, as it is widely recognized that the most consistent ploughing results come from using both the depth wheel and draft control together.
