Stone protection - The PSXV range is ftted as standard with individual shear bolt protection, however, those operators working in stony ground can select the optional, fully automatic hydraulic stone release system.

Excellent clearance - A large area of free space around the large rear depth wheel allows residue material to fow past and makes for trouble free ploughing in diffcult conditions.

Pottinger Servo Plough Range

Pottinger a name more readily associated with grassland equipment has been a plough manufacturer for 44 years, having acquired the German plough manufacturer Landsberg am Lech in 1975. Today the Pottinger SERVO plough range is manufactured at the companies modern facility in Vodnany, Czech Republic, the range now encompasses models from 2 – 9 furrows with fully mounted and semi mounted models available:

All mounted Servo models on offer in the UK feature unique inner beam strengthening supports. These supports are hidden from view, but allow the plough beam to tolerate high loads and forces without the need for external strengthening gussets being welded to the beam. These strengthening struts are bolted in place and are not subject to fatigue as often found with welded joints.

All models can be specifed with either shearbolt or auto reset (Nova) protection systems. The Nova models feature a unique individual hydraulic furrow protection system that ensures break away pressure is maintained on all furrows whilst one or more furrows may be tripping. This does away with phantom tripping often encountered with mechanically sprung systems available. Standard models feature a bolt adjustable manual variable furrow width, for those requiring hydraulic control of furrow width Pottinger offer the Plus models which give a full range of infnite hydraulic furrow width adjustment between 12” – 20”.

SERVO 45M new models

The popular SERVO 45M range now includes 6 furrow models with hydraulic auto reset (Nova) and hydraulic vari-width (Plus). The larger models are constructed on the popular tried and tested 45M design.

Plough beam pivot cylinder

All SERVO 45 M and 45 S models are available with beam pivot cylinders, this option is standard on 6-furrow models. Prior to reversing the plough, the beam is hydraulically aligned and pivoted to allow for maximum ground clearance. This system insures a small number of pivot points, resulting in less wear.
