Downhil – Spring

Machine description

The DOWNHIL – SPRING ploughs are heavy-duty, high-performance implements equipped with an advanced auto-reset system designed for smooth, non-stop ploughing even in challenging and stony conditions.

Features and Benefits

  • Robust Main Frame: Built with high structural integrity, featuring massive main frame dimensions of 120x120x10 mm to withstand extreme mechanical stress.
  • Advanced Leaf Spring Security: The main advantage of the SPRING protection system is that individual ploughing bodies are securely held and protected by a pack of 7 heavy-duty leaf springs.
  • Maintenance-Free Non-Stop Protection: The auto-reset mechanism operates continuously and requires no regular maintenance, automatically tripping and resetting the bodies for completely uninterrupted ploughing after hitting stones.

DOWNHIL – SPRING Ploughs: Continuous, High-Strength Tillage in the Most Challenging, Stony Soils

Ploughing rocky or stony fields can quickly turn into a frustrating, time-consuming task if your machinery isn’t built for the challenge. Frequent stops to replace broken shear bolts cut into your productivity and drive up running costs. The DOWNHIL – SPRING mounted plough solves this completely. Featuring an ultra-robust frame and an advanced auto-reset spring system, this machine allows you to till continuously without stopping, no matter how demanding the terrain.

Agronomic & Operational Advantages: Why Choose the DOWNHIL – SPRING?

Investing in an auto-reset plough system significantly improves field efficiency and protects both your tractor and implement from hidden underground obstacles:

  • True Non-Stop Ploughing: The standout advantage of the SPRING protection system is its ability to handle impact seamlessly. When a ploughing body strikes a hidden stone, it automatically pivots upward to clear the obstacle and snaps right back into working position—all while the tractor remains in motion.
  • Massive Frame Integrity (120x120x10 mm): Deep tillage in heavy or stony soil puts immense stress on the implement’s spine. The DOWNHIL series features an oversized main frame engineered from 10 mm thick premium steel, ensuring complete resistance to twisting, bending, or structural fatigue over years of hard service.
  • Consistent Tillage Depth: The multi-leaf spring system maintains high point pressure, keeping the bodies firmly in the ground even in dry, compacted soils. This ensures uniform soil inversion and clean trash burial across the entire field.

Heavy-Duty Leaf Spring Security and Zero Maintenance

The mechanical protection system is engineered to absorb heavy shocks effortlessly while eliminating routine maintenance tasks:

  • 7 Leaf Spring Security Pack: Each individual ploughing body is safely secured by a heavy-duty pack of 7 leaf springs. This configuration delivers an optimal, progressive resistance curve—holding firm during normal operation but releasing smoothly when hitting major blockages.
  • Maintenance-Free Design: Unlike complex hydraulic auto-reset systems that require seals, hoses, and constant pressure checks, the mechanical leaf spring system is fully maintenance-free. There are no fluids to leak or gas accumulators to recharge.
  • Protection for Your Tractor: By absorbing the violent kinetic energy of stone impacts through the leaf springs, the plough protects the tractor’s three-point hitch and transmission from harsh mechanical shocks, extending the lifespan of your entire fleet.
