Lemken says the lightweight Juwel 6 plough is suited for tractors from 70 to 130hp.
Lemken has introduced the lightweight Juwel 6 to its plough range, which is designed to complement the Juwel 7, 8 and 10 mounted, reversible ploughs.
From next year, the new low-draught model will replace the EurOpal and VariOpal 5 and 6 ranges. These ploughs have been a byword for good work results and durability for the past 25 years.
Suitable for tractors from 70 to 130hp, the Juwel 6 features a 110mm box section frame, with an underframe clearance of 80cm and a choice of 3, 4 or 5 furrows. The M version offers four different working widths per body, adjusted mechanically. Meanwhile, the Juwel 6 M V features an infinitely variable hydraulic working width adjustment.
Hydraulic frame swiveling is available as an optional extra. When combined with the iQblue Connect electronics kit, the implement can be transformed into a smart plough with ISOBUS control and connected to your farm management system.
Basic equipment includes the tried-and-tested Dural bodies, with the option of DuraMaxx bodies made from specially-hardened steel available to increase component life and durability. As with all Lemken mounted reversible ploughs, the Optiquick adjustment system for side draught-free work is a standard fitment.
All mounted ploughs are equipped with new pendulum format wheel assembly, the height of which can be adjusted without tools via a series of holes.
For material protection and greater working comfort, hydraulic suspension is also fitted to the depth wheel. A simple conversion kit is available if you want to upgrade to a Uni wheel for road transport.
