PLOUGHS
The ploughs designed for two-wheel tractors were especially designed to afford ploughing without
excessively tiring the operator. They come in two types: one-bottom (fig31) and 180 degree swivel (fig32).
The latter type is for use in ridging or cultivating in vineyard or orchard rows. The obtained depth of the
furrow can vary from 15 to 25cm depending on the soil.
To plough deeply with these ploughs it is necessary to mount 12'' pneumatic wheels. Ballasts can also be
mounted to increase adherence and the obtainable depth (see wheels ballasts). To compensate the
difference in diameter of the two wheels, coupling A (fig 31-32) between the low and the machine is
unsymmetrical; so that, by disconnecting it from the implement and turning it 180 degree, it will
compensate the difference between the two wheels.
To do the best work, the surface of the mouldboard should be polished. During the first few hours of work
the paint on it may hinder scouring of the earth from the mouldboard.
When working, always keep the mouldboard hope vertical by adjusting the tilt of the plough so as to obtain
a clean cut in the soil. To regulate ploughing depth use front lever M (fig 31-32) which changes the angle of
the plow with the ground: turning it clockwise increases depth while turning it counter the angle of the
plow with the ground: turning it clockwise increase depth while turning it counter clockwise decreases
depth. Plough tilt is adjusted by means of lever L that controls the locking latch.
MAINTENANCE: before storing the plough for a long period it is advisable to oil the polished surface of the
ploughshare to prevent rusting.
