Plough Bodies
Plough bodies for every soil
LEMKEN offers the right plough body for every requirement and all soil conditions. All LEMKEN ploughs are equipped with the proven Dural bodies as standard. DuraMaxx bodies made of specially hardened steel are available for a particularly long service life. Here you may find an overview of the complete range.
Dural: Cost-effective plough bodies
Dural plough bodies are available in many different shapes and for all conditions. Mouldboard and slatted bodies are based on the same basic shape. They ensure permanently good penetration of the plough with optimum work quality and low fuel consumption. The two-part shares are made of micro-alloyed boron steel. The share blades have large wear zones. The share tips are also available with carbide coating.
Dural with mouldboard
- The frog of the Dural body is tempered and extremely strong.
- The pitch of the plough bodies is adjustable to ensure consistently good penetration of the plough into the soil.
- The smooth transition from the share to the mouldboard and the low-resistance shape make the plough even easier to pull.
- The extra large mouldboard shin can be replaced individually for greater cost-effectiveness.
Dural slatted bodies
- The slats of the slatted bodies are made of thick, fully hardened special steel and can be individually replaced.
- The attachment screws are deeply sunk to ensure that the slats remain firmly in place throughout their extremely long service life.
- The overlapping design prevents roots or foreign objects from catching.
- High material density and firm attachment provide for resistance to wear and breakage.
DuraMaxx for maximum service life
We manufacture the DuraMaxx plough bodies from extremely hard steel without boring or punching holes and without welding. Slats and mouldboards are not part of the supporting construction, and can be used for a much longer time whilst maintaining the same working quality. DuraMaxx bodies are available as option for all ploughs.
- Service life is increased by up to 150%.
- Tool-free quick exchange (up to 80% less set-up time).
- Ploughing is possible without blockage due to large clearance behind the plough body.
The DuraMaxx body structure
- The DuraMaxx plough body is available with mould boards or slatts.
- The mould board and the slatts are attached with only two hooks.
- Thee slatted bodies provide great clearance between the slatts and supports. Supports are set in line with slats, which reduces the possibility of blockages from soil running through the slatts.
Tool-free exchange of parts
- The DuraMaxx plough bodies are designed in such a way that mould boards, slatts, and shins can be changed quickly without tools.
- The shin is held in place by a lynch pin. Pulling the pin allows the shin to be removed. The shin, in turn, holds the mould board or slatts in place. Once the shin is off, these slide forwards and out without the need for any tools.
- Even the share point, which is attached with a single bolt only, can be changed much more quickly than on conventional systems.
DuraMaxx hybrid for sticky soils
Plastic slatts are also available for the DuraMaxx plough body. These are ideal for use on extremely sticky soils and in soil conditions in which little pressure is applied to the mould board. The best sliding properties are achieved by using plastic strips at the top and bottom of areas of the plough body susceptible to adhesion. If necessary, the hybrid body can also be fitted completely with plastic slatts.
