4 Disc Plough for Sale — Heavy-Duty Land Breaking Implement (Export-Ready)
Looking for a durable 4 disc plough that can break hardpan, turn crop residue, and prepare new fields fast? AECO Tractors supplies export-quality 4-disc ploughs (also written as 4 disc plow) built for Massey Ferguson and New Holland tractors, with reliable after-sales support and delivery to major African and Middle Eastern ports. Request your best export quote now.
Built for Harsh Conditions and Fast Turnaround
A 4 disc plough is the go-to primary tillage implement when you need deep soil penetration, effective inversion, and residue handling in fields with weeds, stubble, hard crust, or virgin land. Compared with a disc harrow (secondary tillage), a disc plough works deeper and more aggressively, making it ideal for first-pass land breaking before subsequent leveling or seedbed finishing.

What Is a 4 Disc Plough?
A 4-disc plough (4-disc plow) is a primary tillage implement using four concave steel discs set at adjustable angles to cut, lift, shatter, and invert soil. It’s used ahead of secondary tools (harrows, cultivators) to create a workable profile in tough, compacted, or never-tilled land.
Typical use cases:
- Opening new land and reclaiming fields with shrubs or heavy residue
- Breaking hardpan layers and crusted soils
- Incorporating organic matter (stubble, green manure)
- Managing fields after maize, sugarcane, cotton, rice, and sorghum residues
- Preparing ground before rainy season or after fallow
Key Benefits of a 4 Disc Plough
- Deep Penetration: Reaches below the topsoil to break compaction (commonly 250–300 mm / ~8–12 in depending on soil, tractor power, and setup).
- Residue Handling: Discs slice through stubble and surface biomass without frequent clogging.
- Soil Inversion: Inverts top layers to bury weeds, pests, and disease cycles; improves weed control for the next crop.
- Versatility: Performs in a range of textures—sandy loams to black cotton soils—when paired with correct tractor power and ballast.
- Adjustable Setup: Change disc angle and tilt to optimize depth, draft, and pulverization for different fields.
Who Should Choose a 4 Disc Plough?
- Commercial farms breaking new blocks quickly before planting windows
- Contractors offering land development services across varying soil types
- Importers/Dealers who need dependable, serviceable implements favored by MF and NH users
- Institutions & Projects requiring robust tools that handle training and intensive use

- Disc Thickness: approx. 6–8 mm (heavy-duty wear plate)
- Disc Spacing: typically 9–11 in (≈ 228–280 mm)
- Working Depth: approx. 8–12 in (200–300 mm), soil-dependent
- Working Width: approx. 1.0–1.2 m, depending on disc size/angle

Build Options That Matter
- Disc Diameter (26–28 in):
Larger discs increase penetration and residue clearance, especially helpful in hard or trashy fields. - Disc Spacing (9–11 in):
Tighter spacing increases pulverization; wider spacing improves trash flow and deeper bite. - Disc Angle/Tilt Adjustment:
In-cab or manual adjustments allow you to optimize draft, bite, and inversion. - Bearings & Seals:
Choose sealed taper roller bearings with robust dust seals for longevity. - Frame & Headstock:
Look for gusseted joints, thick plates, and reinforced stress points for durability under shock loads. - Mounted vs Semi-Mounted:
- Mounted is agile and easy to reverse on small plots.
- Semi-mounted/trailing reduces tractor lift load and often improves depth consistency on rough ground.

Field Performance Tips
- Speed: Operate at moderate speeds (often 4–7 km/h) to maintain depth and inversion without bouncing.
- Ballast & Tyre Pressure: Proper rear ballast and tyre pressure improve traction and fuel efficiency.
- First Pass Strategy: For virgin land, start with a conservative disc angle; increase as needed on subsequent passes.
- Residue Direction: Plan passes to invert residue away from future beds or toward windbreaks.
- Follow-Up Implements: After the disc plough, a disc harrow or rotavator helps create a seedbed for planters/seed drills.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Most farms pair a 4-disc plough with ~70 to 110 HP tractors. In heavier clays or dry-season breaking, a 4WD in the 80 to 110 HP range gives better traction and depth.
Typical working depth is about 250 to 300 mm (8 to 12 inches) depending on soil, ballast, disc size, and angle.
26 to 28 inch discs are common for 4 disc models. Larger discs improve penetration and residue flow.
A disc plough is primary tillage it breaks and inverts soil deep. A disc harrow is secondary tillage it shatters clods and levels for planting.
Yes. If you want Baldan disc plough specifically, we can quote that or a heavy-duty equivalent with comparable specs.
Common ports include Jebel Ali, Port Sudan, Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, Tema, Lagos/Apapa, and others across Africa and the Middle East.
Yes, Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, Bill of Lading, Insurance (if CIF), and ISO-certified process compliance. Fumigation/Phytosanitary can be provided where required.
Yes. We can consolidate 4 disc ploughs with tractors (e.g., MF 290, MF 375, MF 385) and implements (harrows, planters, trailers) to optimize container use and freight.
