Dowdeswell DP140 MA Plough 5F

The Dowdeswell DP140 MA 5-Furrow Plough is a robust reversible plough designed for dependable primary cultivation and complete soil inversion. It provides an effective option for burying crop residues and weeds, resetting fields and creating a clean start ahead of subsequent cultivations and crop establishment.

This particular machine is fitted with DD mouldboards, square-bar skimmers and rear discs, providing a well-equipped package for achieving clean furrows and effective burial of surface trash.

The DP140 MA features manual furrow width adjustment, allowing the working width to be altered to suit conditions and tractor capability. Dowdeswell’s 140 Series manual specifies adjustment in 1-inch increments between 12 and 18 inches per furrow.

Ploughing remains particularly useful where complete inversion is required. It can help bury crop residues and weed seeds, including as part of a strategy for managing problematic grassweeds, while leaving a fresh surface ready for secondary cultivation and seedbed preparation.

Hiring the Dowdeswell DP140 MA is a practical option for farms that only plough part of their rotation, need additional capacity during a busy cultivation period, or want access to a capable 5-furrow plough without the cost of owning and maintaining one throughout the year.
