70HP 4WD Tractor with Mounted One Way Disc Plough for Dryland Farming

Tractor and Farm Implement Application Case | HENAN BEST Machinery (BSM)
Primary tillage is an important step in preparing dry farmland for maize, wheat, soybean, cotton and other field crops. The equipment must cut into the soil, turn the upper soil layer and help prepare the field for later harrowing, leveling and planting.
For medium-scale dryland farming, HENAN BEST Machinery (BSM) recommends combining a 70HP 4WD farm tractor with a mounted one way disc plough.
This combination offers practical power, four-wheel-drive traction and flexible implement matching for general plowing, soil turning and land preparation.
This application is designed for a medium-sized dryland farm where the operator needs one tractor for several daily tasks, including primary tillage, secondary soil preparation, planting support and farm transportation.
The field may contain dry soil, crop roots, weeds and moderate amounts of plant residue. Before planting, the upper soil layer must be opened and turned to improve the condition of the field for later disc harrowing or rotary tillage.
A small tractor may not provide enough traction for stable plowing in harder soil. A very large tractor may increase purchase cost and fuel use beyond the needs of a medium farm. A 70HP 4WD tractor therefore provides a practical balance between power, traction and implement compatibility.
- Open and turn dry farmland before planting
- Cut through roots, weeds and moderate crop residue
- Work more steadily in firm or uneven soil
- Reduce excessive rear-wheel slip during plowing
- Use a tractor suitable for different farm implements
- Support medium-scale maize, wheat and mixed-crop farming
- Keep equipment operation and maintenance practical
| Tractor | 70HP four-wheel-drive agricultural tractor |
| Farm Implement | Mounted one way disc plough |
| Connection | Three-point linkage |
| Main Operation | Primary tillage, soil cutting and soil turning |
| Suitable Land | Dry farmland, previously cultivated land and mixed-crop fields |
| Typical Crops | Maize, wheat, soybean, cotton and other field crops |
| Drive Type | 4WD recommended for improved field traction |
| Model Selection | Confirmed according to soil, disc quantity, working depth and tractor configuration |
The final disc plough model and technical specifications should be confirmed according to the tractor configuration, soil resistance, required working width, required working depth and local operating conditions.
A 70HP tractor is widely used on medium farms because it can support plowing, rotary tillage, seeding, fertilization and farm transportation without moving into an unnecessarily high power range.
Four-wheel drive transfers power to both axles and normally provides better traction than a similar two-wheel-drive tractor. This is especially useful when the disc plough produces higher draft resistance in dry or uneven soil.
The additional front-wheel traction can help reduce wheel slip, maintain a more stable working speed and improve directional control during plowing.

A one way disc plough uses a group of concave discs arranged to cut and turn the soil in one direction. As the tractor moves forward, the rotating discs enter the ground, cut through the upper soil layer and move the soil to one side.
Compared with a mouldboard plough, a disc plough can be a practical choice in fields containing roots, weeds, moderate residue or soil conditions where smooth mouldboard operation may be difficult.
The mounted structure connects directly to the tractor three-point linkage. This makes the equipment relatively compact and supports convenient lifting, field turning and transportation.

- Practical tractor power: 70HP provides useful power for medium-scale dryland operations.
- Improved traction: the 4WD system helps reduce wheel slip during plowing.
- Effective soil cutting: concave discs cut into the upper soil layer and help turn the soil.
- Better residue handling: rotating discs can work through roots, weeds and moderate plant residue.
- Compact connection: the mounted design supports easier turning and transport.
- Multiple-use tractor: the same tractor can also work with a rotary tiller, disc harrow, planter, trailer and other implements.
A disc plough and a disc harrow perform different stages of soil preparation.
| Comparison | Disc Plough | Disc Harrow |
|---|---|---|
| Main Purpose | Primary tillage and soil turning | Clod breaking, residue mixing and field leveling |
| Typical Working Stage | First major soil operation | Normally used after plowing |
| Soil Movement | Cuts and turns soil to one side | Cuts, mixes and levels the upper soil layer |
| Typical Result | Opened and turned soil | Smaller clods and a more level surface |
In a complete land preparation process, the disc plough can perform primary tillage first. A disc harrow can then break larger clods, mix crop residue and improve field leveling.

- Inspect the tractor and implement: check tires, engine oil, hydraulic system, three-point linkage, discs and fasteners.
- Connect the disc plough: install the implement on the tractor three-point linkage and confirm that all pins and locking devices are secure.
- Adjust the implement: set the linkage and operating angle according to soil condition and required depth.
- Begin primary tillage: operate at a stable and appropriate speed while observing soil turning and tractor traction.
- Check the first pass: confirm working depth, soil movement and whether the tractor shows excessive wheel slip.
- Continue field operation: adjust the implement when field conditions change.
- Perform secondary preparation: use a disc harrow or rotary tiller when finer soil and better leveling are required.
When the tractor and disc plough are correctly matched, the combination can open and turn the upper soil layer while maintaining a stable working speed.
The expected results include:
- Improved soil opening before planting
- Better turning of the upper soil layer
- Cutting of roots, weeds and moderate residue
- Reduced tractor wheel slip compared with unsuitable matching
- More suitable conditions for later harrowing or rotary tillage
Actual field efficiency and working depth vary according to soil hardness, soil moisture, disc quantity, disc diameter, tractor weight, working speed and operator experience.
- Medium maize and wheat farms
- Soybean, cotton and mixed-crop farms
- Dryland farms requiring primary tillage
- Agricultural contractors
- Farm machinery dealers and distributors
- Buyers requiring a tractor and implement package
- Farms replacing small or underpowered plowing equipment
Tractor horsepower alone is not enough to select the correct disc plough. Buyers should also consider:
- Tractor drive type: 2WD or 4WD
- Tractor operating weight
- Three-point linkage category
- Rear hydraulic lifting capacity
- 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
An oversized disc plough may cause excessive wheel slip, low working speed, high fuel consumption and increased tractor load.
An undersized implement may reduce field efficiency. The correct combination should balance soil penetration, tractor load, working speed and operating cost.
To recommend a suitable tractor and disc plough, please provide:
- Required tractor horsepower
- Existing tractor model, when available
- 2WD or 4WD requirement
- Farm size
- Main crops
- Soil type and moisture level
- Required working width
- Required working depth
- Amount of roots and plant residue
- Other required implements
- Destination country and port
Yes. A 70HP tractor can work with a suitable mounted disc plough when the implement size, weight, disc quantity and soil conditions are correctly matched.
Four-wheel drive is not mandatory in every field, but it normally provides better traction and more stable operation in dry, firm or uneven soil.
A disc plough can cut through moderate roots, weeds and plant residue. Performance depends on residue quantity, soil moisture, disc condition and working speed.
A disc harrow is often used after primary plowing when the farmer needs to break soil clods, mix residue and level the field before planting.
Yes. HENAN BEST Machinery (BSM) can recommend a matching tractor and implement package according to farm size, soil, crops, required working width and budget.
