What disc plough width ?

[mboncalo]

Hi,

I am looking to buy a 5 disc plough and I saw I have 2 options regarding the ploughing width: 1250mm and 1500mm.

Which I should get and why ?

120hp tractor

Thank you.

Millimeters? What is that in elephants? Or Toyota Corollas?

Thank you.

If you have good adhesion with loaded tires and R-1 tires the 1,500 Millimeter plow(4.92 feet)
will be fine as you can cut deeply to break up the ground to break up the hardpan and the compaction.

With good traction (weight too). 120hp should pull 3000 millimeters (two Corollas).

This has turned into a math thread.

Not familiar with disk plows but conventional mold board we used to figure 20 HP per 16” (400 mm) bottom in sod. This was two wheel drive tractors with R1 ag tires.

I was assuming he was referring to something like this.
