Checks during 
ploughing

During ploughing, check the following regularly. 

Soil penetration
In hard and dry soil, the plough may not penetrate the soil well. To im-
prove the penetration

Replace worn parts. Worn points do not penetrate the soil well. 

Slip on tractor wheels (on two wheel driven tractors)
To reduce slip on the tractor wheels.

Set the tractor's depth control more towards the resistance regula-
tor or do not plough so deep
