How do John Deere moldboard plows improve soil tillage and residue management?
John Deere Moldboard Plows perform deep soil inversion and bury crop residue, effectively aerating the soil and controlling weeds.
Moldboard plows, like John Deere's 995 reversible plow, are traditional tillage tools designed to turn over the top layer of soil, burying residues and loosening compacted soil layers. The plows feature curved moldboards shaped to slice through soil and invert it smoothly, leaving a clean seedbed. While moldboard plowing is more intensive than conservation tillage, it is beneficial for breaking up hardpan and managing heavy residue situations where surface tillage alone is insufficient.
