SERVO 3000 Medium weight reversible ploughs

With the SERVOMATIC adjustment technology, you can quickly and easily adapt the plough to the tractor and the soil conditions.

1. First furrow width

The basic setting of the updated SERVOMATIC control centre is made depending on the tractor's inner track and is adjusted mechanically via the inner claw screw. If desired, this can be conveniently done with a hydraulic cylinder. The curved shape of the carrier casting allows a wide adjustment range for different tractor inner tracks between 1000 and 1500 mm.

2. Draw point adjustment

The draw point on SERVO ploughs is factory-set for normal working conditions. The lower links of the tractor's linkage swing so that the plough automatically aligns itself on the optimum draw line, which crosses the middle of the tractor's rear axle. This ensures optimum power transmission without side pull.

For special requirements, such as ploughing on steep terrain or changing the side pressure, the drawbar point can be adjusted with a claw screw. If a cylinder is fitted for pivoting the plough beam, the drawbar point correction is integrated via a stop that limits the cylinder stroke when pivoting inwards.

3. Hydraulic furrow width adjustment

As an option, the furrow width of the individual working elements can be adjusted hydraulically. Depending on the distance between the housings (point to point), different furrow widths are possible. The front furrow is adjusted via the four-stage linkage of the SERVOMATIC control centre so that it is synchronised with the other housings, and the drawbar point is optimised accordingly.

4. Beam angle

The plough beam angle is adjusted via a beam lifting mechanism and must be corrected when the ploughing depth is changed. The beam lifting screw is protected in a closed guide and can be adjusted without the need for tools.

Ready for the toughest tasks

Smooth and trouble-free operation in areas with a high stone content or rocky soil is no problem, thanks to the reliable NOVA stone protection system. The selection of extremely durable materials in combination with precisely controlled hydraulics make the system an indispensable tool in difficult conditions. The ability to continuously work with high ploughing quality increases productivity and contributes to higher area efficiency.

Innovation

The optimized design of the system brings significant advantages in the field. The built-in cylinder is protected from dirt and damage by a forged mounting bracket. The components are configured to provide high working clearance when deflecting - up to 42 cm upwards and 20 cm sideways. The NOVA element has a compact movement radius, which reduces the load on the rear and is located close to the frame.

Controllable force

With the help of a single-acting hydraulic connection, the pressure in the hydraulic system can be adjusted precisely and quickly. This allows an adjustable starting pressure between 1.2 kg and 1.5 kg. As the deflection increases, the return force also increases to ensure rapid re-sinking into the soil. A central pressure control unit with a total of three or four hydraulic accumulators reliably absorbs high peak loads and protects the machine.

Safety first

In addition to the NOVA element, a safety shear bolt is installed, which prevents damage to the plough when colliding with large obstacles. This ensures that the plough bodies and the beam are protected from excessive stress. The bolt is hardened for clean shear, making it easy to replace.
