Moldboard Plow Parts

Pièces de charrue agricole KUHN

To plow effectively, it is important to choose the right parts for your machine. KUHN’s plow parts are designed to fit your KUHN plow perfectly. Given that these genuine spare parts were created especially for the machine, they provide optimal output quality, give you control over power requirement, and guarantee that all of the machine parts work properly.

What parts does a plow consist of

Plows consist of many wear parts, including points, shares, moldboards, shins, landsides, blade coulters, skimmers, and landside points and heels.

What is a plow point?

Points are wearing parts fitted to shares for improved soil penetration. Points are the most frequently replaced wearing part. Plow points also protect and reduce the wear of other plow parts.

Longevity

KUHN points are forged in a 1500-ton press at our Châteaubriant factory, in the west of France. Mastery in dropforging and heat treatment ensures excellent wear resistance in any conditions.  The metal is thicker in the high-wear areas of the point, i.e., the extremities.

Versatility

The shape of KUHN plow points helps to keep fuel consumption down and create uniform wear, on any terrain.

Here is a selection of OLYMPIC plow point

KUHN OLYMPIC points are extra thick in the high-wear areas. This design lengthens the service life of the part and keeps its shape over time to carry out homogeneous ploughing.

This part has a self-sharpening profile which gives it a long-lasting and constant penetration capacity. Its trapezoidal shape allows soil to flow over the moldboards and protect the landside.

This point with a heavy-duty end, has a service life 20% longer (depending on conditions of use) than a MARATHON point.

Carbide solutions: parts with DURAKARB technology

The KUHN range includes SUPER-MARATHON points reinforced with carbide plates. This enables you to plow a larger surface area compared to a standard point.

Plow shares

What is a share?

The share’s job is to cut into the land to the depth you want. The soil slides over the share to the shin and then onto the moldboard to mix in all crop residues.

How KUHN plow shares are made? 

Plow shares are made in KUHN factories where mastery in dropforging and heat treatment makes them very hard-wearing in any conditions. A special study was carried out to produce the specific profile that provides a long service life. They are designed to ensure that KUHN plows do a great job throughout their entire lifespan.

Longevity

Genuine KUHN shares are highly resistant to wear due to dropforging and heat-treatment, carried out in our own factories.

They are designed to be hard wearing so that plowing quality remains constant over time, with no increase in power requirement. These genuine KUHN parts ensure excellent soil penetration and great work from the plow bodies throughout their service life.

Versatility

The forged blade coulter version protects the shin and the moldboard on your KUHN plough and creates a cleaner furrow bottom for enhanced tractor adherence

Plow moldboards and shins

What is a plow shin?

The shin is the triangular part at the front of the moldboard that receives the flow of soil before turning it. The shin gets worn quicker than the moldboard, but as it is cheaper to replace than the moldboard, it contributes to cost reduction.

What is a plow moldboard?

The moldboard is the most important part of the plow. Its job is to turn the earth with the crop residues, in preparation for the next crop.

Longevity

Designed in our Châteaubriant factory in the west of France, KUHN TRIPLEX moldboards and shins, with unequal layers, are more wear resistant when compared to equal-layer moldboards and shins owing to their thicker wear reserve. These KUHN parts are harder wearing so have a longer service life.

TRIPLEX technology

TRIPLEX shins with unequal layers are more wear resistant when compared to equal-layer shins and moldboards owing to their thicker wear reserve. These KUHN parts are harder wearing so have a longer service life.

Savings

The dimensions of the shin ensure great mouldboard and frog protection. This agricultural part keeps costs down by reducing wear and, therefore, the frequency of moldboards replacement.

Versatility

Different genuine KUHN bodies are available. Both the slatted and helical Scandinavian bodies are specially designed to meet the needs of the different crops and cultivation methods from around the world.
