6 furrow plough
The 6 furrow plough represents a significant advancement in agricultural machinery, designed to efficiently turn over and prepare soil for cultivation. This robust implement typically consists of six individual plough bodies mounted on a main beam, capable of simultaneously creating six parallel furrows in a single pass. Each plough body includes essential components such as the share, moldboard, and landside, working in harmony to cut, lift, and turn the soil. The implement is engineered to operate at depths ranging from 6 to 12 inches, making it suitable for various soil conditions and farming requirements. Modern 6 furrow ploughs often incorporate hydraulic systems for easy depth adjustment and transport position conversion. The spacing between furrows is typically adjustable between 14 to 20 inches, allowing farmers to optimize their field operations based on specific crop requirements and soil conditions. These ploughs are particularly valuable for medium to large-scale farming operations, offering increased productivity through wider working widths and efficient soil preparation. The design includes safety features such as auto-reset mechanisms to protect the implement from damage when encountering obstacles, and many models feature adjustable furrow width settings to accommodate different tractor sizes and soil conditions.
