4.10. Plough share
4.11. Skim coulter
The plough share is bolted to a bracket that is
mounted on the mouldboard. This bracket has two
holes (A) - for shallow and deep ploughing. There
are two longitudinal holes in the bracket to be
adjusted according to conditions.
The front edge of the optimally set plough share
should be against the mouldboard, and the rear
edge should be adjusted according to the depth of
the furrow.
The skim coulter set consists of a bracket bolted to the plough body holder. This bracket
supports the skim coulter standard to which the working components are bolted – the
plough share and mouldboard. The operating depth of the skim coulter is set using the
holes of the bracket by turning the bolts holding the standard. The lower bolt securing the
components against overload has a circumferential groove that allows the bolt to be cut.
The shear bolt should always be mounted as shown in the drawing above. The distance of
the plough share from the chisel is set in two positions: 0 mm and 70 mm. This is set by
turning the skim coulters’ bracket 180°.
