4.2 REVERSIBLE  TWO BOTTOM M.B  PLOUGH

Features

 

The two bottom reversible plough is a unique implement, which is directly mounted to the tractor.  This is a hydraulically /mechanically operated basic implement for preparation of land.  It is very useful for primary tillage in hard and dry trashy land.  The Mould Board (M.B) retains their mirror finish at all time contributing to well turned furrows.  The plough has special wear resistant steel bottoms with bar points for toughest ploughing jobs.  Bar point bottom ensures longer life as it can be extended or reversed.  The M.B bottom reversing mechanism is operated by a lever provided on the distributor.  When the implement is hitched, plough bottom is free to rotate 180 degree along the axis of the hollow shaft.
