SpeedBlade plough bodies

Plough bodies from a new perspective: maximum speed, minimum wear


SpeedBlade – The new innovative plough bodies
The new SpeedBlade plough bodies with their patented extra-large front shin on the mouldboard and the ©plus hardening process ensure significantly less wear at high forward speeds. As ploughing speeds increase, the wear point shifts further backwards. Wear on conventional plough bodies occurs directly on the mouldboard at higher speeds as a result of the soil flow missing the smaller front shin. Only the front shin of the mouldboard has to be replaced thanks to this patented enlarged front shin. This avoids the troublesome and expensive replacement of the entire mouldboard.

Advantages 

  • Low wear at high speeds 
  • If worn, simply replace the front shin of the mouldboard


  1. AMAZONE mouldboard front shin
  2. Competitor 1
  3. Competitor 2
  4. Wear zones at approx. 5, 8 and 10 km/h
  5. Soil flow
  6. The point covers the wing:
    - The joint is therefore protected by the point
    - Plant residues, baler twine, wire and root residues cannot get entangled

Covered point – maximum ease of pull of the plough body

Since the point covers the wing, the joint is well protected by the point. This clever join up means that no plant residues, baler twine or root remnants get caught in the point.

The ©plus hardening process – the know-how of heat treatment

As a manufacturer of wearing parts for the soil tillage industry, we can look back on a history spanning decades. Continual advances in materials and production technology as well as our expertise in heat treatment are the basis for achieving the highest possible quality in our wearing parts for ploughs.

Carbon in its purest form, diamond, is the hardest naturally occurring substance. A hardening process which involves introducing carbon into the steel is used to increase the hardness and durability of ©plus wearing parts. AMAZONE uses a unique hardening process to achieve a very high level of hardness on the front of components, such as the shin, to produce the optimum resistance to wear. The back remains relatively soft but at the same time extremely tough and impact resistant.


Benefits of the ©plus hardening process: 

  • Longer service life 
  • High impact resistance 
  • Less pulling power requirement 
  • Reduced fuel consumption 
  • Less sticking to the smoother outer surface


  1. Hardened front of mouldboard
  2. Relatively soft rear of mouldboard

Box section beam made of high-grade steel for a long service life

All the beams on AMAZONE ploughs are produced from a special high-tensile steel. The over-sized wall thickness means that, not only is the whole beam robust, but also all the bolt fixings are extremely strong with this heavy wall thickness also preventing any hole elongation or deformation of the box section around the bolt fixings. A further feature of the ploughs is the design of the plough beam without any weld seams.

Points – the right point for every application

The advantages of the different points:





Integrated point: 

  • Angled forwards for good soil penetration 
  • The point covers the wing
  • Reduced drag thanks to the smooth transition between the point and the front shin of the mouldboard 




Integrated HD point: 

  • Angled forwards for good soil penetration
  • Armoured at the rear
  • For an exceptionally long service life
  • Reduced drag thanks to the smooth transition between the point and the front shin of the mouldboard 




Integrated S HD point: 

  • Narrower and angled even more forwards for excellent soil penetration
  • Armoured at the rear
  • For particularly tough conditions and a long service life
  • Reduced drag thanks to the smooth transition between the point and the front shin of the mouldboard 




HD pro bolt-on point:

  • Hard-faced metal
  • Angled at the front for good soil penetration
  • For highly abrasive soils
  • The hardened material ensures an exceptionally long service life




Bolt-on point:

  • Angled forwards for good soil penetration 
  • Quick-change system ensures an extended service life 
  • For particularly harsh conditions
