1LYS Reversible Disc Plow in Peru

1LYS Reversible Disc Plow in Peru: Hard Soil, Level Fields, No Dead Furrow

A customer in Peru purchased a batch of 1LYS reversible disc plows in 2023, which effectively solved two problems: dead ditches in the middle of each plot and shallow infiltration on hard and dry soil.

Peru has a long history of using disc plows as one of its principal tillage implements, particularly in mechanized farming regions where irrigation, dry soils, and commercial crop production are common.https://www.unido.org/publications/ot/9636420/pdf

Why a Reversible Disc Plow Instead of a Mouldboard Plough？

The 1LYS is a two-way plough. At the headland a double-acting hydraulic cylinder turns the disc gang over, so the next pass throws soil the opposite way and closes the furrow behind it. Four things follow:

– No dead furrow, no backfurrow ridge.

Adjacent passes cover each other and leave the block level — the reason two-way ploughs are standard where blocks are small and irrigation has to run evenly.

– Slopes can be worked in one direction.

You keep ploughing downhill or along the contour instead of alternating and turning soil uphill.

– Discs roll, they do not scour.

In dry, hard, sticky or stony ground a disc cuts and rolls the furrow slice over, where a mouldboard share can ride up or clog; discs also slice through crop residue instead of dragging on it.

Customer Requirements

The customer needed a plow capable of handling challenging field conditions while improving operating efficiency.

• Strong penetration in hard and dry soil

• Stable operation with medium-size tractors

• Quick hydraulic reversing at field ends

• Uniform furrow formation for subsequent planting

Working on Site

The 1LYS reversible disc plow performed smoothly during field operation, providing consistent soil inversion and reducing unworked strips between passes.
