User Case Story: How a Progressive Farmer Improved Yield Using Fieldking Ploughs

Introduction

Soil preparation is the backbone of successful farming. Studies show that effective primary tillage can improve crop yield by 20–25% by enhancing soil aeration, moisture retention, and nutrient absorption. However, many Indian farmers still face challenges like uneven ploughing, excessive fuel consumption, and poor weed control due to outdated or unsuitable implements.

This is where Fieldking Disc Plough, Mould Board Plough, and Reversible Plough have proven to be reliable solutions. Designed specifically for Indian soil conditions, these ploughs deliver deeper tillage, uniform furrows, and long-term durability.

In this case story, we explore how Fieldking ploughs help farmers achieve better land preparation, improve crop performance, and create the perfect foundation for the entire crop cycle—including smooth operations with a Multicrop Combine Harvester. This guide is especially useful for farmers cultivating wheat, paddy, mustard, sugarcane, cotton, and pulses.

Understanding Disc Plough, Mould Board Plough & Reversible Plough

Primary tillage prepares the soil for sowing by loosening, turning, and aerating it. Each type of plough serves a specific purpose.

Disc Plough

Disc Plough

A Disc Plough uses concave steel discs to cut and turn soil efficiently. It performs exceptionally well in:

• Hard and dry soils

• Fields with heavy crop residue

• Sticky or clay-based land

Fieldking Disc Ploughs are manufactured using high-grade boron steel, ensuring long life and smooth penetration even in tough field conditions.

Mould Board Plough

Mould Board Plough

A Mould Board Plough cuts and completely inverts the soil, burying weeds and residues. It is ideal for:

• Weed management

• Improving soil structure

• Preparing seedbeds for wheat, pulses, and oilseeds

Fieldking Mould Board Ploughs are known for uniform furrow formation and consistent depth, critical for better germination.

Reversible Plough

Reversible Plough

A Reversible Plough allows ploughing in both directions without forming ridges or dead furrows Best suited for:

• Medium to large land holdings

• Commercial farming

• Time- and fuel-efficient operations

Fieldking Reversible Ploughs reduce turning time and tractor load, increasing daily productivity.

Benefits of Using Fieldking Ploughs

Fieldking ploughs are developed after extensive field testing and real farmer feedback.

Key Benefits

• Superior Soil PreparationDeep tillage improves root growth and soil aeration.

• Effective Weed & Residue ControlBuries weeds naturally, reducing dependence on chemicals.

• Fuel & Time EfficiencyOptimized design ensures faster coverage with lower fuel consumption.

• Strong & Durable BuildHeat-treated steel and corrosion-resistant frames ensure long service life.

• Higher Crop YieldFarmers report better germination and healthier crop stands.

User Case Story: Real Results from a Fieldking Farmer

Farmer Profile

• Name: Ramesh Singh

• Location: Meerut District, Uttar Pradesh

• Land Holding: 18 Acres

• Crops Grown: Wheat, Paddy, Mustard

• Tractor Used: 55 HP

The Challenge

Despite years of experience, Ramesh faced persistent issues:

• Uneven land after ploughing

• High diesel consumption

• Paddy stubble left on the field

• Poor wheat germination

His older plough struggled with hard soil and crop residue, especially after paddy harvesting.

The Solution: Fieldking Ploughs in Action

After consulting local dealers and fellow farmers, Ramesh invested in:

• Fieldking Disc Plough for primary tillage

• Fieldking Mould Board Plough for seedbed preparation

Later, for faster operations on larger plots, he added a Fieldking Reversible Plough.

Field Implementation

• Disc Plough easily cut through hard soil and residue

• Crop waste was buried, improving organic matter

• Mould Board Plough created uniform furrows

• Reversible Plough reduced turning time and overlap

This resulted in well-leveled fields, making harvesting smoother with a Multicrop Combine Harvester.

Results & Impact

Within one crop cycle, Ramesh noticed significant improvements:

• ✅ 15–18% reduction in fuel consumption

• ✅ Uniform germination and stronger crop growth

• ✅ Reduced weed growth without extra herbicides

• ✅ Around 20% increase in wheat yield

• ✅ Faster, smoother harvesting with Multicrop Combine Harvester

“Fieldking ploughs completely changed my land preparation. Soil quality improved, and my crop stand was the best I’ve seen in years.”— Ramesh Singh, Farmer, Uttar Pradesh

How to Choose and Use the Right Fieldking Plough

Step 1: Understand Your Soil

• Hard or dry soil → Disc Plough

• Soft to medium soil → Mould Board Plough

• Large fields → Reversible Plough

Step 2: Match Tractor HP

Ensure proper compatibility to avoid tractor strain and fuel loss.

Step 3: Maintain Correct Depth

Balanced depth improves weed control without wasting fuel.

Step 4: Regular Maintenance

Sharpen discs, lubricate parts, and check bolts before each season.

Step 5: Align with Crop Cycle

Proper ploughing improves sowing, irrigation, and harvesting efficiency—especially with Multicrop Combine Harvesters.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

• Using the wrong plough type→ Choose based on soil, not cost alone.

• Incorrect operating speed→ Maintain recommended tractor speed.

• Skipping maintenance→ Seasonal servicing improves lifespan.

• Over-ploughing→ Avoid soil structure damage.
