Soil tillage machinery is agricultural machinery that "reprocesses" the soil layer and changes the soil structure.

Soil tillage machinery can recreate the soil structure, loosen the soil, eliminate weeds, reduce pests and diseases, improve the soil's ability to store water and moisture, level the ground, and improve the standard of agricultural mechanization.

There are many different types of soil tillage machinery, which are briefly described below.

Types of soil tillage machinery

1. Plough.

This is the simplest and most common.

There are water ploughs, dryland ploughs and tilling ploughs.

Generally speaking, conventional large ploughs are capable of tilling to a depth of about 30 cm.

2. Rotary tiller.

A rotary tiller is an agricultural tool that drives the blades to break up the soil through the drive shaft of the farm machinery.

Generally speaking, the depth of operation is around 10-20 cm, and the depth can be adjusted through the hydraulic system of the farm machinery.

3. Subsoiler.

The subsoiler without destroying the surface layer of soil under the premise of breaking the bottom layer of the plough has achieved improved the ability of the soil to accommodate fertilizer.

Generally speaking, the operating depth of the subsoiler is around 30-40 cm.

4. Tractor with horror.

The function of the tractor with horror is also to break the deep structure of the soil, to break the bottom layer of the plough, and to make the surface of the soil flat using the attached farming tools.

Moreover, the tractor with horror is particularly suitable for use on cultivated land after the straw has been returned to the field, and can effectively reduce the adverse effects of straw on cultivated land.

5. Disc harrow.

It is also a tool for ploughing. The general operating depth is around 20-25 cm.

Classification

1. According to the classification of tillage measures:

Topsoil tillage machinery

Basic tillage machinery

2. According to the power transmission method

Driven machinery

Non-driven machinery

When it comes to farming, it is important to consider the use and maintenance of ploughing machinery. To ensure the effective and safe use of this machinery, it is essential that farmers understand how to properly operate it, adhere to its safety protocols, and maintain it regularly. Proper operation includes reading the machine's manual and understanding safety and operation practices, checking fluid levels and the overall condition of the machinery, and properly adjusting all components. Additionally, regular maintenance should be done to ensure that the tillage machinery is running smoothly and efficiently. This includes ensuring the blades are sharp and secure, replacing worn parts, and lubricating any moving parts. Taking these steps, it will help ensure successful farming.

Method of using ploughing machinery

When working in the lower fields, adjust the wheelbase to the maximum.

Stay within the line when ploughing. The ground must be left neatly tilled, eliminating missed ploughing and heavy ploughing.

when clearing the corners of the ground, the traction line of the plough may be adjusted as appropriate.

When turning at the head of the ground, empty rows should be turned when the angle of the turn is less than a right angle.

If the soil is hard and the resistance is high, you can choose to work with a low gear, and vice versa with a high gear.

Maintenance methods for ploughing machinery

1. After the initial start of the engine, carry out a 5-minute warm-up run and keep the engine running at a low load before it is warmed up.

2. Change the engine oil on time.

3. Avoid overload operation.

4. Select the right oil for the equipment.

5. Beware of fuel entering dirty water and dirt.

6. Keep the air filter clean.

Good routine maintenance of ploughing machinery can be very effective.
