Well plowed land is the key to a high yield. Therefore, only high-quality equipment should be used to process the fields . This primarily concerns, of course, plows. Their varieties at the moment there are only three: rotary, single-hull and revolving. The latter type allows you to process the soil with maximum efficiency, and therefore it is used most often.
general description
The reversible plow of this variety differs from other models primarily by the presence of double mirror shares. When processing fields, one of them is directly in the soil, and the second is on top of it. After turning the tractor, the plowshares are interchanged using the hydraulic system . The result is very smooth plowing without furrows and ridges. When using a conventional single plow plow, this is not possible. In this case, when plowing from the center of the field, double ridges appear between the strips, and when working from the edge, double furrows appear. Plowing using a reversible plow is possible at speeds of up to 6-9 km / h.
Equipment advantages
Among other things, when using a reversible plow, you can plow any desired depth. The position of its shares is regulated by changing the height of the support wheel.
The advantages of such equipment as a reversible plow also include the fact that plowing with its use can be done at an accelerated pace. A tractor turning with a working body of this type by 180 degrees is carried out easily and without any kind of shock. This is achieved due to the presence of two telescopic cylinders in the plow design. This equipment is also reliably protected from various breakdowns. Damage to hydraulic hoses, for example, is completely impossible, since they are closed with a special canvas sleeve.
The reversible plow is attached to the tractor at three points. This provides maximum structural rigidity. Therefore, the plow goes very smoothly. At the same time, work can be done with maximum maneuverability. The advantages of a reversible plow can also include:
- convenient adjustment of all nodes and mechanisms;
- large width of soil capture;
- ease of transportation on ordinary roads;
- high degree of wear resistance of working mechanisms.
Design Features
Reversible mounted plows consist of the following components and mechanisms:
- symmetrical rigid frame;
- rotation devices, including a gear sector, a cylindrical gear and a hydraulic cylinder;
- disk enclosures, in front of each of which there is a dump with a sharp edge;
- a safety device that ensures the deepening of the working bodies when meeting obstacles;
- hydraulics and support wheels.
The width of the plow of this type on each housing can be set in four positions - 33, 38, 44, 50 cm. When using 5-9 buildings, thus, the width of the strip plowed at one time can reach 5-9 meters.
Types of reversible plows
Equipment of this type can vary in cross-section of the frame and power. When buying, you should first determine the number of working buildings. A reversible plow is selected depending on which tractor it is supposed to be used on. For low-power equipment, models consisting of 2-4 cases are more suitable. For large tractors, equipment made up of 10-12 is usually used. Modern agricultural producers most often use three-body equipment of this type. Such plows can be mounted, for example, on the MTZ 80/82, MTZ 100/102 or YuMZ-82 tractors. In general, revolving equipment can be used for equipment with a capacity of 80 to 200 l / s.
Where to apply
Like conventional plows, reversible plows are most often used for plowing large areas. In this case, their use allows to increase the profitability of production due to the speed and quality of work performed. Air, moisture and trace elements easily penetrate well-plowed, even ground when fertilizing.
The most popular 3-body reversible plow can be used in fields that are not too clogged with thick plant roots and stones. It is advisable to cultivate the soil using such models where the plowing depth should be approximately 20-27 cm.
Most popular brands
Most often, reversible plows from manufacturers such as:
- Kverneland.
- "Diamond".
- Overum.
The most popular brand name for this equipment is Lemken. The Lemken reversible plow is characterized by maximum productivity and can be deployed very quickly even in the narrowest strips. Also, these plows are highly durable and can be used on modern tractors of high power.
There are only four model series "Lemken":
- Yuvel. These plows are equipped with a four-profile frame and TurnContro speed control system.
- "VariOpal." This equipment shows excellent plowing results at field edges, ditches, etc.
- EuroOpal. Plows of this model are equipped with hydraulic protection of unacceptable loads.
- "Tanzanite." This hybrid type equipment can be used both as a mounted and semi-mounted reversible plow.
Thus, the efficiency and high speed of plowing is what distinguishes this type of equipment from other varieties. Conventional plows will never give such quality plowing as reversible. This explains the huge popularity and demand for equipment of this type.
