Rover, the versatile and adjustable mounted plough

In-furrow or on-land?

More than just a preference,
this choice is primarily based on your working conditions.

In-furrow

Designed for tractors with single wheels, in-furrow ploughs make ploughing easier.

When positioned in the furrow, the tractor wheels provide good grip. By pressing against the bottom of the furrow, traction is at its best, especially in wet conditions. The tractor does not slip and you use less fuel.

The furrow guides the tractor in a way that is very convenient if you do not have GPS navigation.

On-land

On-land mounted ploughs are generally recommended if your tractor is equipped with tracks, twin wheels or wheels over 710 mm wide.

Some of our customers prefer on-land ploughing even though their tractor is equipped with single wheels so that they can use their GPS guidance system.

By ploughing on-land, you will reduce tyre wear, especially if you have flinty soil.

Choice of 2 systems to adjust working width:
Multi-position or hydraulic vario width

Which system should I choose?
It’s quite simple, this is what you need to know...

Multi-positions

If your ploughing conditions do not vary significantly (plot contours, soil hardness, climate, crops, etc.), you do not need to change your working width frequently. In this situation, we recommend the multi-position system.

When you need to change the working width of your plough, simply loosen the adjustment bolt and then position each plough body on the indicator for the width you want. The process takes just a few minutes.

Hydraulic vario width

If your plough is used by different people (for example, in a cooperative) or if you use your plough in different conditions (for example, subcontracting or on farms with different soils and crops), we recommend the Vario system.

Using a hydraulic control valve in the tractor cab, you can adjust the working width to suit your needs. The bodies are always perfectly aligned.

The Vario system is particularly useful for plots that have complicated shapes.

Compact, easy-to-handle, flexible....

with the Grégoire Besson brand.

Compact sizes

With optimised lengths, the first body being as close as possible to the tractor and with body spacing starting at 90 cm, the overall size of Rover mounted ploughs is reduced.

1st Line Offset

You can configure your 1st body to have a very large offset to reduce your working width and plough in areas that are difficult to work in.

3rd Point Suspension

In order to protect your back and reduce impacts on the tractor chassis and plough, the coupling 3rd point can be connected to a hydraulic system that absorbs shocks.

Hydraulic Switch

All adjustments are made from the tractor cab even though there are only three double-acting spool valves. There is no need to have a large number of valves to benefit from all the plough’s functions.

Robust

Make a long-term, worthwhile investment.
Choose Grégoire Besson for the right reasons.

Robust Shafts

The shaft is the heart of the plough. This is where the greatest number of forces are exerted. The bearings between the front axle and the shaft are distributed over a long length.

This ensures good rigidity, optimal tightness, long-lasting turning and provides traction transfer.

Double Frames

Rover frames are extremely robust due to their thickness and tubular construction.

By doubling them (welding 2 by 2), Grégoire Besson ensure that their frames give unbeatable longevity to your mounted plough.

High-strength steel

Our suppliers provide us with high-strength steels that are tested and verified.

They strictly comply with our specifications which means you can be sure of robust components throughout the life of your plough.

Finite Element Analysis

The Grégoire Besson design office uses ’Finite Element Analysis’ (FEA) software.

This means that high safety coefficients can be defined to guarantee optimal material resistance from the very beginning of the design.

Smart Design

We have been listening to farmers and designing ploughs since 1802.This experience speaks for itself.

Protective Covers

To protect hydraulic hoses and other vulnerable components, we fit protective covers on the headstock to minimize impacts and soil accumulation.

The pressure gauges are still visible for reading from the cab.

Independent Offset and Tilt

Grégoire Besson’s parallelogram system enables you to make independent fine adjustments between the offset and the tilt.

This allows you to adapt the plough to different tractor tracks, plough evenly on slopes and completely erase the first body line.

Add or remove a body

If you plan to change your tractor for one with higher or lower power, you can add or remove a body which means you continue to profit from your investment without having to change ploughs.

Z-beam

For more than 4 bodies, we offer Z-beam frames.

The last body is positioned after the wheel which means there are no unworked areas. This improves the load transfer and makes the ploughing even more precise.

Offset leg

A simple design feature that makes the plough easy to pull and reduces fuel consumption.

So, if you work 100 hectares per year, the offset leg will save you 150 litres of fuel.

2 types of vertical plumb adjustment

Mechanical or hydraulic?
It’s a simple choice.

Mechanical vertical plumb

Mechanical vertical plumb adjustment is ideal for in-furrow ploughing and for users who always plough at the same depth on uniform plots.

If you want to align your plough with the tractor tilt in the furrow, simply insert or remove small metal shims in the vertical plumb adjusters and you are ready to go.

Hydraulic vertical plumb

Hydraulic vertical plumb adjustment is also recommended for in-furrow ploughing, and if your plough is used at different working depths.

It corrects the plough’s vertical angle after the first pass which means it is easy to use. It also offers increased safety when attaching or detaching the Rover.
