ploughing in-furrow or ploughing on-land?

Ploughing_in-furrow_or_ploughing_on-land?

In-furrow Designed for tractors with single wheels, in-furrow ploughs make ploughing easier. When positioned in the furrow, the tractor wheels provide good grip. By pressing against the bottom of the furrow, traction is at its best, especially in wet conditions. The tractor does not slip and you use less fuel. The furrow guides the tractor in a way that is very convenient if you do not have GPS navigation.

On-land On-land mounted ploughs are generally recommended if your tractor is equipped with tracks, twin wheels or wheels over 710 mm wide. Some of our customers prefer on-land ploughing even though their tractor is equipped with single wheels so that they can use their GPS guidance system. By ploughing on-land, you will reduce tyre wear, especially if you have flinty soil.

 

skimmers, trash boards, disc coulters, etc.

Skimmers,_trash_boards,_disc_coulters,_etc.

Mixed Skimmer The short coulter and mouldboard make this combination very versatile. It is suitable for 80% of applications.

Plastic Mixed Skimmer The plastic mouldboard enables the surface to be scalped, even with very sticky soils.

Universal Skimmer Its wider coulter and longer mouldboard enable this combination to handle larger volumes of plants than the mixed skimmer.

Maize Skimmer The high mouldboard guarantees a smooth passage through tall plants such as corn, sunflower, etc.

Pasture Skimmer The very long mouldboard enables it to turn over very dense root systems such as those found in grasslands.

Trashboard Used mainly in winter ploughing, it positions the residues of large plants vertically to improve water infiltration.

Spring-mounted Disc Coulter Suitable for stony soils. It cuts plants and soil 10 cm in front of the body. It creates a clean furrow base and wall that provides better grip to the tractor.

Bolted Disc Coulter Suitable for lightly stony soils. It cuts plants and soil 10 cm in front of the body. It creates a clean furrow base and wall that provides better grip to the tractor.

Knife coulter It cuts a strip of earth to stop the furrow wall attaching to the mouldboard and helps prevent it from crumbling.

Mouldboard extension The mouldboard extension positions the earth for precise finishing. It limits wear at the end of the mouldboard.

Spike Sub-soiler It loosens the soil to a depth of 15 cm under the plough body. It promotes water infiltration, gas exchange and root exploration.

Furrow opener The furrow opener enlarges the furrow base so that track markers equipped with wide tyres have better grip.

choice of 2 systems to adjust working width

Choice_of_2_systems_to_adjust_working_width

Multi-positions If your ploughing conditions do not vary significantly (plot contours, soil hardness, climate, crops, etc.), you do not need to change your working width frequently. In this situation, we recommend the multi-position system. When you need to change the working width of your plough, simply loosen the adjustment bolt and then position each plough body on the indicator for the width you want. The process takes just a few minutes.

Hydraulic vario width If your plough is used by different people (for example, in a cooperative) or if you use your plough in different conditions (for example, subcontracting or on farms with different soils and crops), we recommend the Vario system. Using a hydraulic control valve in the tractor cab, you can adjust the working width to suit your needs. The bodies are always perfectly aligned. The Vario system is particularly useful for plots that have complicated shapes.

 

a choice of 2 safety systems

A_choice_of_2_safety_systems

Shear Bolt

For stone-free soils, choose shear bolt safety. If the ploughing element hits an obstacle (stone, root...), the shear bolt snaps. The entire element rotates, rises and allows the foreign body to pass under the plough. The shearing noise alerts you, so you stop the tractor, get off and extract the bolt that gave way. You replace the shear bolt and you’re ready to plough again.

For light and sandy soils without any stones, we recommend light soil shear bolts. The way it works is the same except there are 2 bolts for each ploughing element, one per body. Shear bolt safety extends the life of your equipment: it limits frame bending and it reduces the forces exerted on your tractor. Safety shear bolts give way when the body tip resistance exceeds between 4.2 and 6 tonnes.

Continuous Hydraulics

If you plough fields with stony soil, the continuous hydraulic safety version is recommended. If a ploughing body hits a stone or any other foreign object, the entire element lifts up (up to 85 cm clearance) and lets the obstacle pass. Then the element returns to its place by means of the hydraulic jack. 4 ball joints ensure perfect support and positioning. You don’t need to get out of the tractor cab. You can plough without worrying. This safety system extends of the life of your equipment and maximizes productivity.

For very stony and clayey soils, the Rover 60 and Rover 70 provide high-capacity continuous hydraulic safety. This is a similar system but more suitable for this type of soil. It means that you obtain very even and level ploughing. The safety system will not trigger in the most compacted areas of your soil. Whether you decide on hydraulic or high capacity hydraulic safety, you have a choice of 3 cylinder diameters: standard, large or very large diameter. The heavier the soil, the larger the diameter you should choose.

You can also configure your hydraulic safety system by choosing between 100 bar or 150 bar pressure accumulators. The higher the pressure, the less often the safety system triggers. The continuous adjustment valve option allows you to calibrate the hydraulic safety activation in the cab. This option is really useful if you who work in very diversified plots.

 

compact, easy-to-handle, flexible....

Compact,_easy-to-handle,_flexible....

Compact sizes With optimised lengths, the first body being as close as possible to the tractor and with body spacing starting at 90 cm, the overall size of Rover mounted ploughs is reduced.

1st Line Offset You can configure your 1st body to have a very large offset to reduce your working width and plough in areas that are difficult to work in.

3rd Point Suspension In order to protect your back and reduce impacts on the tractor chassis and plough, the coupling 3rd point can be connected to a hydraulic system that absorbs shocks.

Hydraulic Switch All adjustments are made from the tractor cab even though there are only three double-acting spool valves. There is no need to have a large number of valves to benefit from all the plough’s functions.

 

robust

Robust

Robust Shafts The shaft is the heart of the plough. This is where the greatest number of forces are exerted. The bearings between the front axle and the shaft are distributed over a long length. This ensures good rigidity, optimal tightness, long-lasting turning and provides traction transfer.

Double Frames Rover frames are extremely robust due to their thickness and tubular construction. By doubling them (welding 2 by 2), Grégoire Besson ensure that their frames give unbeatable longevity to your mounted plough.

High-strength steel Our suppliers provide us with high-strength steels that are tested and verified. They strictly comply with our specifications which means you can be sure of robust components throughout the life of your plough.

Finite Element Analysis The Grégoire Besson design office uses ’Finite Element Analysis’ (FEA) software. This means that high safety coefficients can be defined to guarantee optimal material resistance from the very beginning of the design.

 

smart design

Protective Covers To protect hydraulic hoses and other vulnerable components, we fit protective covers on the headstock to minimize impacts and soil accumulation. The pressure gauges are still visible for reading from the cab.

Independent Offset and Tilt Grégoire Besson’s parallelogram system enables you to make independent fine adjustments between the offset and the tilt. This allows you to adapt the plough to different tractor tracks, plough evenly on slopes and completely erase the first body line.

Add or remove a body If you plan to change your tractor for one with higher or lower power, you can add or remove a body which means you continue to profit from your investment without having to change ploughs.

Z-beam For more than 4 bodies, we offer Z-beam frames. The last body is positioned after the wheel which means there are no unworked areas. This improves the load transfer and makes the ploughing even more precise.

 

two types of vertical plumb adjustment

2_types_of_vertical_plumb_adjustment

Mechanical vertical plumb Mechanical vertical plumb adjustment is ideal for in-furrow ploughing and for users who always plough at the same depth on uniform plots. If you want to align your plough with the tractor tilt in the furrow, simply insert or remove small metal shims in the vertical plumb adjusters and you are ready to go.

Hydraulic vertical plumb Hydraulic vertical plumb adjustment is also recommended for in-furrow ploughing, and if your plough is used at different working depths. It corrects the plough’s vertical angle after the first pass which means it is easy to use. It also offers increased safety when attaching or detaching the Rover.

 

forward centre of gravity, easier lifting

Forward_centre_of_gravity,_easier_lifting

The Rover has a forward centre of gravity, close to the hitch and tractor.

This makes the tractor easier to manœuvre and enables smooth lifting.

It is still heavy enough for good penetration into loose or compacted soils.
