John Deere 975 Reversible Plow
Features
Moldboard frame pivots with the bottoms
975 mainframe
All 975 Moldboard Plows use only one set of bottoms.
The moldboards are reversed laterally by a hydraulic cylinder that is standard equipment. There are several advantages of this design over traditional two-way rollover plows with two sets of bottoms:
- Requires less 3-point hitch capacity
- Requires less ballasting of the tractor front end
- Eliminates initial cost and service requirements for one complete set of standards and bottoms
Reversing pin
The reversing pin is positioned at a 13.5-degree angle, instead of being straight up, for even plowing in both directions. The reversing pin does not require adjustments by the operator.
Strong mainframe handles tough plowing jobs
Easily maneuver tight turns with integral in-furrow hitch
Integral in-furrow hitch
Compatible with tractors equipped with Quik-Coupler, the integral hitch offers unexcelled maneuverability in turns and when parking in tight areas:
- Tractor rockshaft lever controls the raising and lowering of the plow
- Maximum plowing depth is 356 mm (14 in.)
Adjustable width of cut improves residue-handling ability
Adjustable width of cut
The width of cut on all 975 Moldboard Plows can be set at 406 mm or 457 mm (16 in. or 18 in.) by moving the standards to different bolt holes in order to:
- Match the tractor horsepower to the soil conditions
- Improve the residue-handling ability
- Improve productivity
- Maximize fuel efficiency
The underframe clearance is 813 mm (32 in.) to allow excellent material flow through the plow.
Adjustable rear gauge wheel comes in standard equipment
