Agrolux Plough bodies - Agrolux ploughs

Agrolux plough bodies are available in several designs.

The common characteristic of all plough bodies are that they offer perfect turn-over of the furrow slice in order to close the furrows and clear a wide furrow bottom with enough space for wide tractor tyres. The share points on Agrolux plough bodies are extra long and designed in such a way that wear is equal throughout the lifetime. The design means good soil contact, and new points will break through the eventual ploughing pan. The long point has exceptional wearing life with homogeneous dimension, and it has good heat transference in order to reduce wear. The point, the share and the mouldboard are in the same plane on an AGROLUX body.

This means that wear is distributed evenly, the power requirement is reduced, material expenditure is lower and the risk of soil sticking to the mouldboard is less than for other ploughs. Since the adjustment of an Agrolux plough is always correct, so that the plough is in balance, a small landside is enough to control the plough. This reduces the use of wearing parts.

Plough bodies

AX Type

The AX is a turning plough body with an extremely low draft requirement. Perfect for all applications and for use in all soil types, it is suitable for ploughing depths of 10-28cm and with working widths of 30-55cm.

AXP Type

The AXP has the same properties as the AX but its mouldboard is made of plastic, ideal when working in sticky soils.

XLD Type

The XLD is a turning plough body with a low draft requirement, and has been design to work with tractors fitted with wide tyres (710mm). Delivering excellent furrow turning, it is suitable for ploughing depths of 12-35cm and with working widths of 40-60cm. Both single support stays and double support stays are available.

XSD Type

The XSD is the newest addition to the range, it has a slatted design with 4 individually replaceable strips. Suitable for all soil types, and performs particularly well in sticky soil conditions which are characterized by a low draft requirement. Excellent turning characteristics of the furrows to depths of 12-35cm and working widths of 40-60cm.

AH Type

The AH has a larger, universal body with good crumbling performance and very good furrow clearance– ideal when working with tractors fitted with wide tyres. It is suitable for ploughing depths down to 30cm and with working widths from 40cm. Both single support stays and double support stays are available.

AS Type

The AS has a slatted body, composed for four individually replaceable strips. Suitable for all soil types, it comes into its own in particularly sticky soil. Delivering intensive crumbling, it is perfect for working on slopes. AS bodies are suitable for ploughing depths down to 35cm and with working widths from 40cm.

Precision points

The share points on AGROLUX plough bodies are extralong and have been engineered by design to ensure uniform wear. The design delivers outstanding soil contact. On Flush and Special points, the share and the mouldboard are in the same plane, making for a uniform wear profile, reduced power requirements as well as reducing the likelihood of soil sticking to the mouldboard. Three types of point are available.

Reversible point

Reversible point for improved capacity and increased durability.

Flush point

Flush point for improved soil flow and minimum adherence in sticky soils.

Short point

Short point for rocky conditions is available through Aftermarket solutions.

Plough body options

A range of plough body options enable operators to further customise their plough bodies to ensure the most efficient and productive ploughing possible.

Frog cover plate

Designed to enhance the lifetime of the frog, as well as to minimise productivityimpacting downtime. This option is available as a Dealer Installed Accessory on all ploughs and on all body types.

Wearing plate

To reduce wear on the landside, a wearing plate can be added to the outside. Wearing plates are available for all furrows or can simply be fitted to the last furrow. This option is available on all ploughs and on all body types.

Universal coverboard

When working in field with a large volume of surface residue, plough bodies can be extended with a coverboard. This coverboard buries the residue before the plough body starts to turn the soil.

EG skimmers

Designed for operations seeking good weed control or those ploughing grassland, the EG skimmer works well in firmer soils and produces a continuous furrow slice. EG skimmers work well in tandem with the disc coulter.

EP skimmers

EP skimmer are manufactured in plastic for optimal performance in sticky and boggy soils. EP skimmers also work well in tandem with the disc coulter.

EM skimmers

The EM range of skimmers have been designed to manage large volumes of crop residue. The convex mouldboard enables residue to pass either side of the skim shank.

Disc coulters

Disc coulters are especially useful when working in fields with large quantities of residue. By cutting deep into the soil, they ensure a clean edge. New Holland offers three distinct types of coulter: plain, notched and rippled.
