Description
Engineered to handle the toughest work and highest loads, working with powerful tractors and delivering an impressive output: these SERVO 4000 hitch-mounted reversible ploughs combine everything in one implement. With four to six furrows and a furrow width of up to 59 cm, an overall working width of up to 3.54 m can be achieved. To do this, the plough can be pulled by tractors with up to 360 Hp, and be used as an on-land plough.
Advantages
Servomatic control center
Front furrow width
While designing the SERVOMATIC control centre, great importance was placed on a large adjustment range of the front furrow width. The swept shape of the cast yoke covers a wide adjustment range for different tractor inside track widths between 1,000 and 1.500 mm.
The main setting of the updated SERVOMATIC control centre is based on the inside track width of the tractor and is set mechanically using the inside turnbuckle. A clearly visible scale helps to quickly find the correct position based on the inner track width of the tractor. As an option, this can be done conveniently with a hydraulic cylinder.
On SERVO P and N ploughs with hydraulic furrow width adjustment, the four-joint linkage automatically adjusts the front furrow when the furrow width is adjusted.
PLUS hydraulic furrow width adjustment
Variable furrow width
Taking into consideration the conditions in the field in terms of the type of soil and its characteristics, it may be necessary to adjust the furrow width accordingly to achieve the ideal working results. Depending on the point-to-point spacing, different furrow widths can be achieved.
To achieve a consistent turnover of the furrow ridge, the furrow width needs be adapted when the furrow depth is changed, in order to ensure a constant ratio of ploughing depth to furrow width.
It is also possible to change the formation of the furrow ridge for agronomic reasons by changing the furrow width.
The convenient PLUS
Adapting the furrow width on SERVO ploughs using the PLUS hydraulic furrow width adjustment system is easy, convenient and can be done on the move. This is so convenient that it allows the furrow width of the plough bodies to be adjusted without the need for tools. The disc coulters and the depth wheels are also adjusted automatically.
To manage this, the tractor requires a double-acting spool valve. Once it has been set to the inside track width of the tractor, the front furrow width is automatically adjusted when the furrow width is changed. This is done by the four-joint linkage at the control centre in accordance with the remaining furrows.
Traction Control
Powerful work
The optional TRACTION CONTROL traction booster can optimise the power transfer from the tractor to the ground. The additional weight applied to the rear axle of the tractor improves the traction of the tractor. The improved traction in turn results in less wheel slip and prevents harmful soil compaction due to smearing. In addition, fuel consumption per hectare ploughed is reduced and output is increased thanks to effective progress.
- Fuel consumption per hectare reduced by up to 10%
- Wheel slip reduced by up to 50 %
- Increased output
TRACTION CONTROL is available for the SERVO 3000 five and six-furrow models and all SERVO 4000 models from four to six furrows.
Increased traction against soil compaction
If the plough is operated using the tractor's active draft control, the electronics permanently regulate the height of the tractor linkage based on the draft required by the plough. This means that the plough is raised slightly in compacted areas to ensure the power requirement remains the same.
With the additional traction provided by TRACTION CONTROL, the plough can be pulled with more control over its position. This reduces the control intensity of the tractor linkage, and the linkage deviates less from its set lifting height. The result is that the plough maintains the same working depth even in compacted areas and the soil is ploughed and loosened at a consistent depth.
