Disc Plough

WhatsApp Order

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A disc plough is a rugged agricultural tool featuring a series of concave steel discs mounted on a sturdy frame, used to break and turn heavy, compacted soils. Designed to operate in rocky, root-filled, or uneven terrain, it slices through debris and flips over the topsoil, burying crop residue and preparing the land for planting. Available in multiple configurations—including offset and tandem types—disc ploughs are essential for primary tillage, providing soil aeration, weed control, and residue mixing while enhancing water infiltration and reducing compaction.

Description

Uses

Primary Tillage and Soil Turning
- Cuts and lifts deeply compacted soil layers to break up hardpan and loosen ground.
- Prepares rough fields for initial cultivation or planting.
Residue Burial and Weed Control
- Flips and buries crop stubble and weeds to halt regrowth and support decomposition.
- Helps manage pest and disease cycles by covering pathogen-rich residue.
Soil Aeration and Structure Improvement
- Opens up soil to improve drainage, root penetration, and microbial activity.
- Enhances soil structure for better moisture retention and plant growth.
Leveling and Contour Shaping
- Begins the process of smoothing field surfaces before refinement by harrows.
- Helps form field contours to prevent erosion and manage runoff.
Incorporating Soil Amendments
- Mixes lime, compost, or fertilizers into deeper soil layers for effective nutrient distribution.
Land Reclamation Tasks
- Ideal for reclaiming sod, pasture, or wild land by cutting heavy vegetation into soil.
Improving Compacted or Layered Soils
- Breaks through dense native layers, promoting deeper tillage for root development.
Seasonal Preparation
- Used in autumn to invert residue before winter and in spring to kickstart soil warming and drying.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Precautions

Wear Protective Gear
- Gloves to guard against sharp discs.
- Steel-toed boots for foot protection.
- Safety glasses to shield from flying debris.
Inspect Before Operation
- Ensure discs, frames, bolts, and bearings are intact and properly secured.
- Confirm hitching and tractor linkage is correctly engaged and locked.
Operate at Safe Speeds
- Avoid high speeds that reduce control or cause swaying.
- Be cautious on uneven or sloping terrain to prevent tipping.
Clear Work Area
- Keep people, animals, and obstructions well away from the working zone.
Safe Transporting
- Use proper lifting tools when hitching or moving the plough.
- Secure the implement during transport to avoid detachment or damage.
Maintain Discs and Frame
- Clean off residue buildup and check for wear.
- Lubricate moving parts and replace bent or broken discs promptly.
Emergency Procedures
- Know how to disengage or lift the implement in case of blockage or jam.
Operator Training
- Only trained operators should use the plough.
- Follow manufacturer's instructions and safety protocols strictly.
