A reversible plough is a type of ploughing equipment used in agriculture. It’s designed to effectively invert and turn over the soil to bury crop residues and weeds, creating a clean and uniform seedbed for planting. The “reversible” aspect typically refers to the ability of the plough to be used in two directions without having to turn the tractor around, which improves efficiency and reduces fuel consumption.

Key features and functions of a reversible plough may include:

Reversibility: As mentioned, the plough can be used in both forward and reverse directions, allowing for continuous ploughing without the need to turn the tractor.

Multiple Plough Bodies: Reversible ploughs often have multiple plough bodies or shares that are mounted on a common frame. These plough bodies can vary in size and shape based on specific soil conditions and requirements.

Depth and Width Adjustment: Operators can adjust the depth and width of the plough bodies to control the depth of soil inversion and the width of the furrows created.

Efficient Soil Inversion: Reversible ploughs are designed to effectively turn over the soil, burying crop residues, and bringing fresh soil to the surface.

Residue Management: Some models may include features for managing crop residues, such as cutters or trash boards.

Furrow Wheels: Furrow wheels are often used to control the width and depth of furrows and maintain a consistent row spacing.

Hydraulic Controls: Many modern reversible ploughs have hydraulic controls for adjusting various settings, making them easier to operate.
