PLOUGHS BODY OPTIONS

Types of plough: bodies and points

New Holland has developed a range of plough bodies to ensure you can select not only the right plough for the application, but one that works with your soil and topographical conditions. Together with a choice of different points you can exactly define the effectiveness of the soil engaging parts, short points for rocky or stony ground, or more streamlined flush points for particularly sticky soil types.

AX type

The AX is a turning plough body with an extremely low draft requirement. Perfect for all applications and for use in all soil types, it is suitable for ploughing depths of 10-28cm and with working widths of 30-55cm.

AXP type

The AXP has the same properties as the AX but its mouldboard is made of plastic, ideal when working in sticky soils.

XLD type

The XLD is a turning plough body with a low draft requirement, and has been design to work with tractors fitted with wide tyres (710mm). Delivering excellent furrow turning, it is suitable for ploughing depths of 12-35cm and with working widths of 40-60cm. Both single support stays and double support stays are available.

XSD type

The XSD is the newest addition to the range, it has a slatted design with 4 individually replaceable strips. Suitable for all soil types, and performs particularly well in sticky soil conditions which are characterized by a low draft requirement. Excellent turning characteristics of the furrows to depths of 12-35cm and working widths of 40-60cm.

AH type

The AH has a larger, universal body with good crumbling performance and very good furrow clearance– ideal when working with tractors fitted with wide tyres. It is suitable for ploughing depths down to 30cm and with working widths from 40cm. Both single support stays and double support stays are available.

AS type

The AS has a slatted body, composed for four individually replaceable strips. Suitable for all soil types, it comes into its own in particularly sticky soil. Delivering intensive crumbling, it is perfect for working on slopes. AS bodies are suitable for ploughing depths down to 35cm and with working widths from 40cm.

Precision points

The share points on New Holland plough bodies are extralong and have been engineered by design to ensure uniform wear. The design delivers outstanding soil contact. On Flush and Special points, the share and the mouldboard are in the same plane, making for a uniform wear profile, reduced power requirements as well as reducing the likelihood of soil sticking to the mouldboard. Three types of point are available
• Turnable point for improved capacity and increased durability
• Flush point for improved soil flow and minimum adherence in sticky soils
• Short point for rocky conditions

Plough body options

A range of plough body options enable operators to further customise their plough bodies to ensure the most efficient and productive ploughing possible.

Frog cover plate

Designed to enhance the lifetime of the frog, as well as to minimise productivityimpacting downtime. This option is available on all ploughs and on all body types.

Wearing plate

To reduce wear on the landside, a wearing plate can be added to the outside. Wearing plates are available for all furrows or can simply be fitted to the last furrow. This option is available on all ploughs and on all body types.

Universal coverboard

When working in field with a large volume of surface residue, plough bodies can be extended with a coverboard. This coverboard buries the residue before the plough body starts to turn the soil.

EG skimmers

Designed for operations seeking good weed control or those ploughing grassland, the EG skimmer works well in firmer soils and produces a continuous furrow slice.

EP skimmers

EP skimmer are manufactured in plastic for optimal performance in sticky and boggy soils.

EM skimmers

The EM range of skimmers has been designed to manage large volumes of crop residue. The convex mouldboard enables residue to pass either side of the skim shank. EM skimmers work well in tandem with the disc coulter.

Disc coulters

Disc coulters are especially useful when working in fields with large quantities of residue. By cutting deep into the soil, they ensure a clean edge. New Holland offers three distinct types of coulter: plain, notched and rippled.
