what are tractor plows?
A tractor plow is an agricultural tool used to break up and prepare the soil before planting. Its purpose is to move the top layer of soil and mix it with the remains of previous crops or manure, which helps plants grow better.
The operation of a tractor plow consists of a metal frame that is attached to the rear of the tractor, using a hitch or three-point hitch system. At the front of the plow, there is a blade that penetrates the soil, and as the tractor moves forward, the blade cuts and lifts the layer of soil creating a channel. Then, the lifted soil moves to one side or to both sides, depending on the plow design.
- Strong structure: Tractor plows are built with durable materials, such as high-strength steel to withstand the tough working conditions in the field.
- Blade type: There are different types of blades, such as moldboard blade, disc blade and tine blade. Each type has its own characteristics and is used for different soil types and conditions.
- Adaptability: Generally, tractor plows allow adjusting the working depth, blade inclination and other parameters to suit the needs of each soil and each crop.
- Three-point hitch: Most plows are hitched to the tractor using a three-point system, which provides stability and allows the plow to be raised and lowered as needed.
- Working width: The width of the plow determines the amount of soil it can work in each pass. Plows with larger bodies are more efficient in large areas, while smaller plows are more suitable for smaller plots.
