TRACTION CONTROL on SERVO 45 M and 5 and 6 furrow 45 S mounted ploughs transfers weight from the plough to the tractor.
Wheel slips is reduced by perfectly matching the pulling force and load on the rear axle. As a result, this enables maximum performance on the part of the tractor. This saves fuel and conserves the soil. Preload pressure can be adjusted from the tractor seat. The pressure remains the same, even at the headland.
Test results with TRACTION CONTROL
The Austrian University for Soil Sciences (BOKU) in Vienna has tested the TRACTION CONTROL system and proven its positive effect.
The transmission of force using TRACTION CONTROL transfers weight from the plough to the rear axle of the tractor.
Prevents slipping and harmful smearing of rear wheels on soil surface.
Reduces wheel slip by up to 50 %.
Saves fuel thanks to more effective power transfer.
Conserve the soil and save fuel.
The plough is operated with the top link in the slotted hole. This allows the plough to adjust to the conditions of the soil. At the same time, the system ensures that there is optimum transmission of tractive power from the tractor to the plough.
TRACTION CONTROL - an overview
On four to five-furrow ploughs in the 45 M series.
On five and six-furrow ploughs in the 45 S series.
Compacted soil will never be loosened effectively using electronic hitch controls. The reason: the hitch raises the plough over compacted areas.
Summary: Pulling force control in connection with TRACTION CONTROL loosens all compacted areas.
Saves up to 2.1 litres per hectare.
