50HP 4WD Tractor with 3-Disc 1LYQ Plough for Small Dryland Farms

Small and medium dryland farms need agricultural machinery that provides enough traction for primary tillage without creating unnecessary purchase cost, fuel consumption or operating difficulty.

For farms growing maize, wheat, beans, vegetables and other field crops, HENAN BEST Machinery (BSM) recommends combining a BSM 50HP 4WD agricultural tractor with a three-disc 1LYQ mounted one way disc plough.

This combination is designed for primary tillage, dryland soil opening, root cutting and soil turning. The compact three-point mounted structure also supports convenient field turning, transportation and implement replacement.

This application is designed for a small or medium dryland farm that needs one tractor for several operations, including ploughing, rotary tillage, planting support, fertilizer application and farm transportation.

Before planting, the field may contain dry topsoil, weeds, roots and moderate amounts of crop residue. The upper soil layer needs to be opened and turned before secondary tillage and seedbed preparation.

A small two-wheel-drive tractor may experience excessive wheel slip when pulling a plough through firm or uneven soil. A much larger tractor may increase investment and fuel consumption beyond the needs of the farm.

A 50HP four-wheel-drive tractor matched with a compact three-disc plough provides a practical balance between traction, implement size, field efficiency and operating cost.

• Open dry farmland before planting
• Turn the upper soil layer during primary tillage
• Cut weeds, roots and moderate crop residue
• Reduce rear-wheel slip in firm or uneven fields
• Use a compact implement for small and medium plots
• Support maize, wheat, bean and vegetable production
• Allow the tractor to work with other farm implements
• Keep maintenance and daily operation practical

The three-disc configuration is a general recommendation for suitable tractors in this power range. Final matching must be confirmed according to the tractor operating weight, rear hydraulic lifting capacity, disc diameter, implement weight, soil resistance and required working depth.

A 50HP agricultural tractor offers useful power for small and medium farm operations without moving into an unnecessarily large tractor category.

The BSM 50HP tractor uses a four-wheel-drive structure to transfer power to both the front and rear axles. This normally provides better traction than a similar two-wheel-drive tractor when operating in firm, loose or uneven fields.

Better traction helps the tractor:

• Reduce excessive wheel slip
• Maintain a more stable ploughing speed
• Improve directional control
• Use engine power more effectively
• Work more steadily on dryland and slopes

The same tractor can also work with a rotary tiller, disc harrow, seeder, fertilizer spreader, sprayer, farm trailer and other suitable implements.

The BSM 1LYQ Series uses rotating concave disc blades to cut into the ground, lift the soil slice and turn the soil toward one side.

A three-disc configuration offers a compact working structure for suitable small and medium tractors. Compared with a wider five-disc or six-disc model, it creates less draft resistance and places less load on the tractor.

This makes the three-disc version practical when the farm needs:

• Primary tillage on small or medium plots
• Soil opening before planting
• Cutting through weeds and roots
• Operation in dry or moderately firm soil
• A compact implement for easier turning
• Lower tractor load than a wide heavy configuration

A wider plough can cover more land during each pass, but it also creates greater draft resistance and places more load on the tractor.

A five-disc or six-disc model may require:

• Higher tractor horsepower
• Greater tractor operating weight
• Stronger rear hydraulic lifting capacity
• More traction in hard soil
• More space for field turning
• Higher fuel consumption during heavy work

Installing an oversized implement on a 50HP tractor may cause excessive wheel slip, low working speed, shallow penetration, unstable lifting or increased mechanical load.

The best implement is not always the widest model. The correct choice should balance tractor load, soil penetration, field efficiency and operating cost.

The combination is suitable for general dryland farming and fields that need primary soil opening.

1. Inspect the tractor: check engine oil, coolant, tires, hydraulic system and counterweights.
2. Inspect the disc plough: check disc blades, bearings, frame bolts and linkage points.
3. Connect the implement: mount the plough on the rear three-point linkage and secure all pins and locking devices.
4. Adjust the linkage: set the implement level, operating angle and initial working depth.
5. Complete a test pass: observe soil turning, working depth, wheel slip and tractor stability.
6. Adjust when necessary: reduce depth or change the operating setting if the tractor is overloaded.
7. Complete primary tillage: maintain a stable working speed suitable for the field conditions.
8. Perform secondary tillage: use a disc harrow or rotary tiller when smaller clods and a more level seedbed are required.

A disc plough and a disc harrow perform different stages of land preparation.

After the three-disc plough completes primary tillage, the same 50HP tractor can be connected to a suitable disc harrow or rotary tiller for secondary soil preparation.

A disc plough uses rotating concave discs, while a mouldboard plough uses fixed shares and curved mouldboards.

A disc plough is often selected for dry, hard, uneven or residue-covered fields. A mouldboard plough is commonly selected when complete soil inversion and regular furrows are the main requirements.

When the tractor and implement are correctly matched, the combination can provide stable primary tillage for small and medium dryland farms.

Expected results include:

• Opening compacted or firm topsoil
• Turning the upper soil layer
• Cutting moderate weeds and crop roots
• Preparing the field for secondary tillage
• Reducing excessive wheel slip through 4WD traction
• Supporting more efficient use of a 50HP tractor

Actual working depth and field efficiency depend on soil hardness, soil moisture, disc condition, tractor weight, operating speed, field slope and operator experience.

• Small and medium family farms
• Maize and wheat farms
• Bean and mixed-crop farms
• Vegetable planting bases
• Dryland farms requiring primary tillage
• Agricultural contractors serving small farms
• Farm machinery dealers and distributors
• Buyers requiring a tractor and implement package

Tractor horsepower alone is not enough to confirm the correct disc plough. Buyers should also consider:

• Tractor operating weight
• 2WD or 4WD configuration
• Rear hydraulic lifting capacity
• Three-point linkage category
• Disc quantity and disc diameter
• Total implement weight
• Required working width and depth
• Soil hardness and moisture
• Amount of roots and crop residue
• Field slope and turning space

HENAN BEST Machinery (BSM) can check these factors before recommending the final tractor and implement configuration.

To receive a suitable recommendation and quotation, please provide:

• Existing or required tractor model
• Tractor horsepower
• 2WD or 4WD requirement
• Farm size
• Main crops
• Soil type and moisture
• Amount of roots and crop residue
• Required working width
• Required working depth
• Other required farm implements
• Destination country and port
• Required order quantity

Yes. A suitable 50HP tractor can work with a three-disc mounted plough when implement weight, disc size, soil resistance and hydraulic lifting capacity are correctly matched.

Four-wheel drive normally provides better traction and stability during primary tillage, especially in dry, firm or uneven soil.

A conventional mounted one way disc plough does not normally require PTO drive. The discs rotate through contact with the soil while the tractor moves forward.

It can work with roots, weeds and moderate surface residue. Heavy or long crop stalks may need to be crushed before ploughing.

A disc harrow or rotary tiller is often used after primary tillage to break larger clods, mix residue and create a more level seedbed.

Yes. HENAN BEST Machinery (BSM) can supply a complete tractor and implement package according to farm size, soil conditions, main crops and destination country.
