New Holland unveils its PX/PXV ploughs designed for intensive use

The New Holland range of reversible mounted ploughs is made up of 3 main families: the PM models, with 3 to 5 bottoms, intended for small farms; the PH, with 4 to 6 bottoms, aimed mainly at medium-sized farms; and the PX family, also with 4 to 6 bottoms (5 to 7 bottoms in the on-land version), intended for contractors or large farms with greater traction power. These 3 families are also available in a hydraulically adjustable working width version: PMV, PHV and PXV.

Fixed or variable-width models, up to 6 bottoms in the conventional version
With a simple, clean design, the reversible mounted ploughs of the PX/PXV range come in 4, 5 or 6 bottom versions, and up to 7 bottoms in the on-land version.

Featuring a robust 220x120 mm main beam made in a single seamless piece, and a head spindle with a diameter of 180 mm fitted with needle bearings that spreads the load over a large surface during the plough's turnover, these PX/PXV models are specially designed for use with high traction power, up to 300 ch (360 ch in the on-land version).

On the fixed PX versions, the working width is manually adjustable in five positions: 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22 inches (35 to 55 cm). On the PXV versions, the working width is adjusted continuously while working, also from 14 to 22 inches. The PXV range is also equipped with a double-piston hydraulic cylinder for realignment.

One piston controls the automatic realignment, and the other the adjustment of the working width. During turnover, the working width is automatically reduced to the minimum, then returns to its initial position at the end of the operation.

Two under-beam clearance heights are available, 75 cm or 80 cm. The latter clearance height makes ploughing easier in difficult conditions, particularly in the presence of heavy residues. For clearance between points, two options are also offered: 90 cm or 100 cm.

A high-performance stone protection system
To protect the plough in the event of stones or obstacles, New Holland models can be fitted with two types of protection. Shear bolt protection for the S versions, with a Ø16 mm safety bolt and a trip force of 4000 kg, allowing a clearance of 405 mm. For the H versions, the protection is of the hydraulic non-stop type.

An individual cylinder allows independent adjustment of each bottom, with a trip force of 950 to 1500 kg at the point, allowing a clearance of 540 mm. On this NSH version, a larger-diameter cylinder is available as an option for very stony conditions.

A wide range of mouldboards and numerous equipment options
New Holland offers a wide range of mouldboards, adapting to all types of soil, with helical or cylindrical mouldboards, slatted mouldboards, or synthetic components specially designed for sticky soils.

There are also mouldboards designed for wide tyres, allowing ploughing with tractors fitted with tyres up to 710 mm. Note that New Holland ploughs are fitted with reversible points with a reduced angle of attack that limits the tractor effort required, making the New Holland plough one of the lightest-draft ploughs on the market.

Each user can also equip their plough according to their conditions and practices thanks to a rich range of equipment: different types of skimmers, including models specially designed for burying large quantities of residue, and numerous accessories such as disc coulters, deflectors, wear plates, as well as a complete range of depth control wheels or combined wheels with the option of hydraulic depth control management.

An on-land model with up to 7 bottoms
The special feature of the PX reversible mounted plough is that it is also available in the OL on-land version, that is, working outside the plough furrow, thus allowing the use of dual-wheel or tracked tractors.

This on-land version is available from 5 to 7 bottoms, with hydraulic non-stop protection.
