ploughing in-furrow or ploughing on-land?

Ploughing_in-furrow_or_ploughing_on-land?

In-furrow Suitable for small to medium tractors, in-furrow ploughs make ploughing easier. The tractor wheels sit in the furrow for good grip and traction, especially in wet conditions. The furrow guides the tractor which is especially useful if you do not have GPS guidance.

On-land On-land ploughs are suitable for high power tractors, including tracked, twin wheels or wheels over 710 mm in width. By working on-land, tyre wear is reduced, especially on flinty soils. The Grégoire Besson semi-mounted on-land ploughs allow you to work either in-furrow or on-land.

 

multi-position or vario?

Multi-position_or_Vario?

Multi-positions If you always work with the same conditions (soil, plot layout, climate, crops, etc.), you probably won’t need to change your working width often. When it is necessary, you simply loosen the working width adjustment bolts and position the plough bodies on the desired working width indicators. This only takes a few minutes.

Vario For ploughs used by several people (for example, in a cooperative) or when you have to plough in varying conditions (subcontracting, farms with different soils or crops, different terrains, etc.), we recommend the Vario system. From the cab, you can adjust your working width and adapt to your needs in a few seconds. This is particularly useful in small plots and in headlands.

 

a choice of 2 safety systems

A_choice_of_2_safety_systems

Bolt

If your soil is not stony, you can choose the shear bolt safety system. If you hit a foreign body, the shear bolt gives way, the ploughing element rises and lets the object pass. The shearing noise alerts you, so you stop and extract the sheared bolt. Simply replace the shear bolt and start ploughing again. If you happen to hit an obstacle, this safety feature prevents damage to your plough or tractor. The shear bolts give way when a force of between 4.2 and 6 tons is exerted at the tip, depending on the height of the elements and the type of bolt used.

Non-Stop Hydraulic

If you have stony soil, we recommend non-stop hydraulic safety. If you hit a foreign body, the ploughing element rises (up to 85 cm) and lets the object pass. After, the safety cylinder returns the element to its position. The 4 ball joints guide the element’s support and reinstallation You don’t have to leave the cab, you can continue ploughing without worrying about stones. This type of safety extends the service life of your replacement parts as well as your plough. You can be assured of long equipment life and maximum productivity.

For very clayey and stony soils, we recommend high capacity non-stop hydraulic safety. This will enable you to have perfectly levelled ploughing because it restricts activation of the safety system in the most compacted soil areas. Whether you need the hydraulic or the high capacity hydraulic safety system, you can choose between 3 cylinder diameters: standard, large or very large. The heavier your soil, the larger the diameter you will need.

Finally, you can fine-tune your hydraulic safety configuration by choosing 100 or 150 bar pressure accumulators. Here too, the more your soil drags your plough, the higher the pressure we recommend. If your plot’s soil structure is very uneven, you’ll be interested in the continuous pressure adjusting valve option. You can adjust the hydraulics directly from the tractor cab.

Smooth turning Turning your plough can be stressful. Whether you have the rack and pinion system or the double cylinder system, the Voyager can be turned smoothly even at the tipping point. You can reverse the turning process at any time.

Rear lifting or articulation On the carriage models, the rear lifting jack allows you to deal with headlands smoothly and perform delicate manœuvres. The roller joint enables you to follow ground contours.

110 articulated headstock Voyager’s 110 headstock articulation gives you optimum manoeuvrability. Comfortable and efficient on plots with complex geometry, it enables you to perform short and fast headland manœuvres.

Z-beam The Voyager Z-shaped beam on single wheelers means that the wheel passage is covered by the last body. In addition, this beam allows the chassis to pass close to the wheel when turning. The centre of gravity is lowered and manoeuvring is safer.

Load transfer On rack and pinion models, you can fit a load transfer cylinder that enables you to shift weight to the rear of the tractor to give better traction. You reduce your fuel consumption while optimizing grip.

Offset On Voyager, the hydraulic offset management enables you to adapt to tractor tracks from 1.3 to 4.7 m width. This hydraulic adjustment offers you a precise, simple and efficient setting.

Adding or removing a body If you change to a higher or lower power tractor, you can add or remove a ploughing body. Remember to specify this when configuring your plough. You don’t have to change ploughs when you change tractors.

Simple settings You can set the working depth in 3 places: the tractor lift at the front, a stop screw on the carriage (depending on the model) and another on the depth wheel. To adjust tilt, simply adjust the stop screws located either side of the headstock. That’s it, you’re ready.

Hydraulic controls With the hydraulic selector you can have up to 6 hydraulic controls in the cab even if you only have 3 hydraulic valves on your tractor.

Positioning the plough When you’re manoeuvring in headlands, turning the plough one way then the other helps you to position it. This means you can position and guide it exactly where you want.

Crumbled ploughing The step before seedbed preparation If you are about to plant a crop, crumbled ploughing enables you to mix the material just before passing with a seedbed preparer. This step makes it easier to pass with the seedbed preparer while weeding and enriching the lower soil layer. Crumbled ploughing can be carried out at fairly high speed and results in a flatter soil.

Over winter ploughing Let water and oxygen enter the soil If you need to do winter ploughing, especially in clayey soils, it can be valuable to do deeper, high furrow ploughing. This allows you to channel the water, which during winter will turn into frost and break up the ground. Crumbled ploughing also allows oxygen to penetrate the intermediate layers of the soil. In spring, this will make ploughing and sowing easier. Crumbled ploughing, which is carried out with a helicoidal mouldboard, has a better capacity to bury organic matter. It maintains the structure on the surface for a few months without work and helps the germination of weeds present in the soil.

 

the benefits and agronomical advantages of ploughing

The_benefits_and_agronomical_advantages_of_ploughing

Soil structure Ploughing improves soil structure. By turning and loosening the soil, ploughing allows air and water to circulate. Then freezing and thawing actions break up the soil, creating a structure that is suitable for cultivation. Ploughing is an effective step in seedbed preparation.

Burial Ploughing allows you to introduce organic fertilizers into the soil (manure, slurry, residues, plant cover, grassland...) Ploughing gives you the opportunity to provide important nutrients (such as phosphorus, potassium, etc.) for the roots of your future crop. By diluting these elements in large volumes of soil, ploughing helps to sustain future crops.

Weed control Ploughing buries weed seeds deep enough so that they do not germinate and then compete with your crop. This cleans the soil surface mechanically and lowers input costs for farmers. No chemical action is necessary.

Water flow Ploughing allows water to infiltrate and circulate freely and so limit retention. By circulating within the intermediate and deep layers, water does not create a crust which prevents erosion of the nutrient-rich surface.

Extreme weather When droughts or heavy rains prevent straightforward cultivation, ploughing provides a viable solution. By bringing a uniform and balanced level of moisture into the different layers, planting becomes possible again despite challenging conditions.

Mineralization Ploughing makes nitrogen less volatile by trapping it in the soil which accelerates mineralization. Nitrogen accelerates the decomposition of organic matter. Existing crops benefit from its increased availability.

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.
