New integrated furrow press from Lemken

By introducing the integrated FlexPack furrow press for the Diamant 18 semi-mounted plough, Lemken extends the range of applications for professional ploughing technology, including in dry and stony soils. This makes the 6- to 8-furrow Diamant 18 the only single-wheel semi-mounted plough on the market that can be combined with a directly mounted furrow press as standard, the company says. This solution is ideal for farms and contractors who prioritise efficient work processes and precise tillage, particularly in challenging site conditions.

To make the combination of the Lemken Diamant and FlexPack technically possible in the in-furrow version, the design of the transport wheel was changed and the wheel was moved behind the base frame with the introduction of the Diamant 18. This new position of the wheel provides a low centre of gravity, reducing torsional loads and ensuring high tipping stability at the headland, smooth running on the road and low loads on the wheel arm. The rearmost plough body therefore reliably maintains the set working depth, even in hilly terrain, producing an even ploughing result regardless of the topography.
