2.2. Intended use of the ORKAN VARIO plough

The ORKAN VARIO plough is designed to plough soils containing few stones. Its purpose is to
cut up eld’s earth, lift and turn it over in order to cover over crop residue and to loosen the soil.
Its working elements are right- and left-hand plough bodies equipped with “18”
shares, reversible chisels, and full half-screw or openwork cylindrical mouldboard

Table 2. Description of the individual working components of the ORKAN VARIO plough.

Full half-screw mouldboard

Recommended for medium and light soils. Ideal for

covering over crop residues and characterized by a low
soil loosening intensity. It creates a wide furrow, which
allows it to be used in cooperation with tractors having
wide tires.

Openwork cylindrical mouldboard

Recommended for heavy (compacted) soils. Ideally

loosens the soil and thanks to the mouldboard being
of an openwork structure, ploughing resistance is
reduced.

Scraper (trash board)

Provides good coverage of crop residues and organic

fertilizers. Allows for a large space to be maintained
between the plough bodies.

Skim coulter

Recommended for ecient deep ploughing on soils with

a large amount of crop residues and stubble (especially
corn for medium to shallow ploughing) and organic
fertilizers

8

Rolling coulter

Gauge wheel

The rolling coulter is mounted on the end pair of plough
bodies to ensure a suitable furrow shape. It puts up
lower operating resistances compared to the knife cut
form of ploughing.

Shin

This ensures furrow depth is maintained and longitudinal
ploughing to ensure uniform depth of the furrow,
regardless of surface irregularities.

This ensures correct arrangement of the furrow especially
during the ploughing of stubble and areas covered by sod.
