4.5.2 ORKAN VARIO plough
The ORKAN VARIO plough is equipped for an infinitely adjustable ploughing width.
Changing the ploughing width is possible thanks to the use of a hydraulic actuator. The
ploughing width can be infinitely adjusted from 30 to 50 cm. The arrow in the photo below
shows the position of the ploughing width adjustment actuator and its view as seen from
above.
Fig. 11 Adjustment of the ORKAN VARIO plough ploughing width.
Determining the optimum ploughing width is particularly important for reducing the
implement’s operating resistance and minimising the degree of soil clumping after
plouging. The working width of the body should be adjusted according to weather
conditions, terrain and the capabilities of the agricultural tractor. Indicated above is the
position of the actuator within the implement and the direction of its movement.
Extension of the actuator reduces the ploughing
width, while the maximum position of
the actuator corresponds to the maximum ploughing width.
