Disc plow

Every successful farming season starts with planting, and for that, you need a disc plow. Since the invention of the one-way disc plow in the 1920s, this plow has evolved to serve as an essential farming tool because it uses a series of concave ploughing discs made from metal to break, raise, turn, and mix soil so that every crop has the best chance possible to grow healthily after planting. The discs can also force weeds and debris out of the ground, in addition to either removing crop stubble or mixing it into the soil to act as mulch. Though the plow can improve all kinds of terrain, they are especially helpful in areas with rough and crusty soil or that struggle regularly with soil erosion. In the event of a wildfire, however, farmers can also use the plow to quickly till debris and crop stubble beneath the soil in order to prevent the flames from spreading further.

Facts About Disc Plows

The typical disc plow consists of a metal horizontal frame that holds anywhere from six to twelve discs measuring 20 to 38 inches in diameter, divided evenly on either side and installed at angles to control the cut depth and rotation speed. Each one contains 18 to 20 plow disc blades. The frame includes a hitch point that lets you attach it to a vehicle. Tractor disc plows are common for farming, but both ATV disc plows and UTV disc plows are also popular options. Nearly any type of heavy-duty four-wheeler disc plow is large and strong enough to do the job.
