Mouldboard ploughs in 2, 3, and 4-furrow configurations are designed for primary tillage, effectively turning over soil to bury crop residue, control weeds, and prepare land for planting. The number of furrows determines the working width and capacity, with larger models covering more ground per pass and suited to higher horsepower tractors.

Each furrow consists of a mouldboard, share, and landside that work together to lift, cut, and invert the soil. Working depth is typically adjustable, generally ranging between 150 and 300 mm, depending on soil conditions and setup. These ploughs are commonly used in softer or well-prepared soils where full soil inversion is required.

Mounted via a three-point linkage, mouldboard ploughs are compatible with a range of tractors, with power requirements increasing with the number of furrows. Built from durable steel for long service life, they are designed to provide consistent performance in field conditions. As with most implements, specifications may vary depending on the model and manufacturer.
