Which make/model of plough for different soil types

[Chrismc530]

Want to change our 3 furrow kverneland plough for a 4 furrow . We grow veg so are changing land every year or 2 and soil types vary. What ploughs would suit this type of work ?

The first question is what type of soil is in your area? Have you problems getting it to run clean?

I would stick with a kv , if u have problems with soil sticking to boards go for one with slatted boards. A 4 furrow isnt cheap but will hold its value better than most other makes

If you’ve been getting on well with the 3 furrow KV, just buy a 4 furrow with the same mouldboards.

I realise it may not be just that simple, but it would be a good start.

What about bolting an extra furrow on the 3 furrow?

Thanks for the reply’s. Kv seems to be still king. Hoping to get a lend of our neighbours 4 furrow for a day to try out, it has no28 boards which I hear are the best ? Ours has no8s and which do a good job but which tractors and tyres getting bigger , I think no28 would suit us better
