Plough Turn Over Cylinders

Plough Turn Over Hydraulic Cylinders

Flowfit supplies high-quality plough turn over cylinders for agricultural machinery and hydraulic plough systems. These heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders are designed for use on reversible or turn-over ploughs, helping rotate the plough body so soil can be turned efficiently in both directions without manual repositioning.

Also known as plough turnover rams, reversible plough cylinders, plough rotation cylinders, turn-over plough hydraulic rams or plough reversing cylinders, these cylinders are built to provide reliable movement, strong hydraulic force and dependable performance in demanding field conditions.

Designed for Reversible and Turn-Over Ploughs

Plough turn over hydraulic cylinders are specifically designed to help pivot or rotate the plough through its working cycle. When operated through the tractor or machinery hydraulic system, the cylinder extends or retracts to turn the plough body, allowing the operator to continue working efficiently in the opposite direction.

This makes them an important component for reversible plough setups, where fast, controlled turning helps reduce downtime, improve field coverage and support more efficient soil preparation.

Key Features

• Double acting operation: These cylinders are typically double acting, meaning they can exert force in both directions to extend and retract. This is essential for the plough’s turning mechanism, providing precise control over the turning movement.
• Heavy-duty construction: Designed to withstand the high-pressure demands of agricultural equipment, plough turn over cylinders are built for durability and reliable performance in harsh working conditions.
• Compact and robust design: Compact enough to fit within the design of the plough, while still strong enough to handle the significant forces involved in soil inversion.
• Precise control: The double acting design allows for controlled movement, helping ensure smooth, efficient turning of the plough and improving productivity during ploughing.
• Reliable agricultural performance: Built for farming equipment that requires consistent hydraulic operation across demanding field applications.

Controlled Hydraulic Rotation

A plough turn over hydraulic ram helps control the rotation of the plough as it moves from one working position to the other. By providing hydraulic force through the turn-over action, the cylinder helps the plough rotate smoothly and return into the correct working position.

This controlled movement is especially useful when working across larger fields, as it reduces the need for manual adjustment and helps maintain consistent ploughing direction, soil turning and field finish.

Common Applications

Flowfit plough turn over cylinders are used in agricultural hydraulic systems where reliable plough rotation, controlled movement and efficient soil preparation are required.

• Agricultural ploughs: Used in both traditional and modern ploughing equipment to assist with soil inversion and efficient field work.
• Reversible ploughs: Designed to rotate the plough body for efficient soil turning in both directions.
• Tillage equipment: Incorporated in tillage machines that need to flip, rotate or turn over soil in farming operations.
• Land preparation: Ideal for preparing land for planting crops by helping ensure soil is turned evenly and deeply.
• Tractor-mounted equipment: Used with agricultural machinery powered by tractor hydraulic systems.
• Heavy-duty farming applications: Suitable for field equipment exposed to regular use, heavy loads and demanding working conditions.

Choosing the Right Plough Turn Over Cylinder

When selecting a plough turn over cylinder, it is important to consider the bore size, stroke length, closed length, mounting style, port size, working pressure and compatibility with your plough or tractor hydraulic system. Choosing the correct specification helps ensure the cylinder can deliver the required force, rotation and fitment for your equipment.

If you are replacing an existing plough ram, checking the current cylinder’s measurements, mounting points and hydraulic connections is a good starting point. If you are unsure which cylinder is suitable, Flowfit can help you identify the right option for your plough setup.
