Overload protection

Hydraulic overload protection

The hydraulic overload protection is basically a hydraulic cylinder with a directly connected, nitrogen-filled hydraulic accumulator on each pair of plough bodies. When triggered, the plough body pushes a piston into the accumulator via the hydraulic cylinder. The gas is compressed and automatically returns the body to its initial position after passing the obstacle. A choice can be made between the standard hydraulic protection with decentralised adjustment or the optional protection with central adjustment for convenient and quick adjustment of the release pressure of all bodies.


The benefits 

  • Simple adaptation of the release force 
  • Smooth and material protecting operation 
  • Exchangeable ball joints and sockets 
  • As standard, with additional shear bolt

Mechanical overload protection using shear bolts

Shear bolts are the tried and tested standard solution. Under load, the shear bolt snaps off at the predetermined breaking point and the plough body gives way to the obstacle by swivelling upwards. The high release forces of the shear bolt enable use even in heavy and hard soils.


The benefits 

  • 4,400 kg shear force 
  • Exact shearing via the double-cut, hardened flange plates

Sowing insurance!

1. In severe drought – principle of a water pump:
The re-consolidated strips provide soil contact directly in the seed furrow. In this way, capillary water reaches the seedling even in dry weather. Reconsolidation in strips ensures that your soil works as a water pump. Every drop counts!

2. In much wetness – principle of drainage:
The loose soil absorbs any rain well and stores it. Rain from heavy downpours simply drains into the unrolled, loose areas. Soil erosion is thereby prevented. In this case, the soil works like a drain. Even on heavy wet ground, there is enough unconsolidated soil available between the rows to cover the seed with loose soil.

3. Gaseous exchange – the lungs principle:
The loose soil also enables gases to be exchanged, so that the roots can breathe.
