Abstract
Plough apparatus comprising a wheeled support structure (10) that supports a plough beam (20) that is pivotable in a horizontal plane about the center of the support structure between first and second plough beam positions. The plough beam (20) carries a plurality of plough discs (50) or reversible mould boards (100) that are rotatable about a vertical axis between first and second ploughing positions corresponding respectively with the plough beam positions so that the plough apparatus can produce right or left hand furrows as desired.
Claims16
A plough apparatus comprising a wheeled support structure comprising arcuate end beams interconnected by longitudinally extending side beams;
- a plough beam mounted for pivotal movement about the center of the support structure with opposite ends of the plough beam being supported for movement along the arcuate end beams;
- a reinforcing cross beam extending across the side beams and through the plough beam while allowing pivotal movement of the plough beam;
- and a plurality of rotatable plough elements spaced along the plough beam;
- wherein the plough beam is adapted to pivot in a horizontal plane between a first beam position and a second beam position;
- and wherein each plough element is adapted to be rotated about a vertical axis between a first ploughing position corresponding with the first beam position and a second ploughing position corresponding with the second beam position.
