MIRCO Semi-mounted Plough

The new semi-mounted reversible plough from Maschio has been put to the test through 2019 across the length and breadth of the country and has exceeded expectations in a variety of land conditions.

The ability to turn the plough over without closing the offset, combined with the luxury of smooth turnover and a turning circle of
over 100°, means headland turns are quick, efficient and effortless.

The MP4WD boards ensure complete inversion and can accommodate ploughing widths as wide as 22” and depths from 5” to 16”. The 160 x 160mm beam means the plough is robust and engineered for tractors up to 400hp. Standard point to point clearance is 105cm with an under-beam clearance of 80cm (option of 87cm).

The Mirco is available in either in furrow or on land/in furrow and from 6 to 9 furrows (optional hydraulic front furrow) with the choice of manual or hydraulic vario width and the option of shearbolt or non-stop hydraulic safety (NSH). With so many options, Maschio has a semi-mounted plough to suit most tractors and farms.

A simple adjustment of the offset ram and a positive mechanical stop means the on land/in furrow version can be easily changed to suit wheeled tractors for in furrow use, or tracked machines for on land.
When used in furrow there is the option of hydraulic front furrow for varying soil and widths.

Depth and transport are controlled by the 550/50-17 wheel which is fitted with a nitrogen accumulator as standard that acts as a shock absorber on the road. The large wheel provides both stability in transport and excellent depth control in the field.

• Adjustable working width: - mechanically step by step 33-55cm - hydraulically (VARIO) 30-50cm

• Heavy Duty 160x160 Frame – made of high-strength steel that has allowed Maschio to create a product with a low weight while guaranteeing maximum durability and excellent reliability.

• Perfect depth control – the working depth is controlled by a rubber wheel (two for the in-furrow on land version for greater support) in order to obtain a precise work surface.

• Triangular central adjustment system – this system mechanical or hydraulic creates a triangle structure that allows the forces to be discharged directly on the rear wheel, this makes it possible to strengthen the frame geometry avoiding bending                          and improve the stability of the whole structure during ploughing.

• Headland turns – the articulated headstock allows a rotation angle up to 105 degrees allowing delayed  and easy turning at the headland. To guarantee the turnover of the plough two hydraulic cylinders are used that allows easy rotation without backlashes.

• Working depth in and out of furrow – the rear wheel creates a large support surface reducing compaction and ensuring maximum performance even in wet conditions. In order to guarantee a uniform working depth the on land in furrow versions have a front wheel that is more than 300mm wide supplied as standard which makes it easier to follow the terrain more precisely.

• Generous clearance – thanks to the ample ground clearance of 80cm and generous distance between the bodies (105cm) the Mirco guarantees maximum versatility of use by offering the possibility of working in high crop residues.
