Why Choose a 3 Disc Plough?
A 3 disc plough is the ideal primary tillage tool when you need to:
- Break hardpan after harvest and open virgin or compacted land.
- Turn and bury heavy surface residue to reduce weeds and disease cycles.
- Prepare a deep tilth (typically 200–250 mm working depth) before secondary tillage.
- Operate effectively in abrasive or trashy conditions where moldboard ploughs struggle.
Compared with lighter cultivation tools, a 3-disc plough uses concave, notched discs set at an adjustable angle to slice, lift, and invert soil. This geometry maintains momentum through residues, stones, and variable moisture.
How a 3 Disc Plough Works (In Simple Terms)
- Concave discs (usually 26–28 in / 660–710 mm) cut and roll soil slices.
- Disc angle & tilt create suction and lift—key for penetration and inversion.
- Scrapers keep discs clean in sticky soils.
- Heavy frame keeps depth consistent and improves penetration.
- 3-point hitch makes hookup easy on most utility tractors (Category II common).
The result: uniform furrows, buried trash, and a moisture-conserving seedbed once you follow with a disc harrow or rotavator.

Compatible Tractors (Popular Models)
We commonly pair the 3-disc plough with:
- Massey Ferguson Models: MF 240, MF 260, MF 290 (79 HP), MF 360, MF 375, MF 385

If you’re using another brand or 4WD tractor, we’ll size the plough to your drawbar/hydraulic capacity.
3 Disc Plough vs. 2-Disc & 4-Disc
- 2-Disc: Lower draft requirement; suited to smaller tractors and lighter soils.
- 3-Disc: Balanced choice—good working width and depth without excessive power demand; most popular for 50–90 HP.
- 4-Disc: Larger working width; needs more HP and ballast, recommended for 80–110+ HP or softer soils
3 Disc Plough vs. Moldboard Plough
- Residue handling: Disc ploughs excel in trashy fields and hard, dry soils; moldboard can choke in heavy residue.
- Inversion quality: Moldboard often inverts cleaner in moist loams; disc ploughs are more versatile across seasons.
- Draft: Disc ploughs typically pull smoother in abrasive/hard soils, reducing shocks and breakages.
When to Choose Notched Discs
If you deal with maize stalks, cane trash, or hard crust, a notched-leading disc improves bite and penetration. Plain discs roll smoother in sandy or lighter loams. Many buyers choose a mixed set: notched front discs, plain rear.
Field Performance: What to Expect
- Primary tillage pass: 6–10 km/h, depending on power and soil.
- Depth consistency: Heavier frames hold depth better; consider ballast if your soil is very hard.
- Moisture: Best penetration at optimal moisture (neither powder dry nor wet sticky).
- Follow-up: Use a disc harrow to break clods and level; then seed or rotavate as your crop plan requires.

Operating & Maintenance Tips
- Depth & angle: Start conservative; increase disc angle gradually until residue inverts cleanly without over-draft.
- Ballast: If traction slips or depth floats, add tractor ballast or consider a heavier frame spec.
- Bearings: Grease as recommended; check seals after muddy work.
- Scrapers: Set close enough to keep discs clean, but not rubbing hard.
- Speed: Too slow = poor inversion; too fast = excess draft & wear. Aim for a steady pull.
- Storage: Wash off soil, grease contact points, and store covered to prevent corrosion.
Soil & Crop Scenarios Where 3 Disc Plough Shines
- Post-harvest maize/sorghum with heavy stover—cuts and buries residue neatly.
- Cotton, sunflower, sesame rotations—resets the field after fibrous stems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
For most soils, 50–90 HP works well. Heavier clay or deep settings may need higher HP or 4WD
Choose 26″ for medium soils/shallower depth and 28″ for harder soils or deeper inversion. Larger discs increase penetration and wear life.
