High-Performance Disc Plough for Sale in Botswana

In Botswana, the success of your harvest begins with the quality of your primary tillage. Our Massey Ferguson compatible Disc Ploughs are engineered specifically for the challenging conditions of the Southern African landscape—from the abrasive Kalahari sands to the rock-heavy soils of the eastern districts.

Unlike standard mouldboard ploughs, our disc ploughs are designed to roll over obstacles like tree stumps and buried stones without breaking, making them the most durable choice for clearing and preparing virgin land.

Frequently Asked Questions (Disc Ploughs Botswana)

Question: Why is a disc plough better than a mouldboard plough for Botswana soil?

Answer: Botswana’s soil is often dry, hard, and contains hidden rocks or roots. While a mouldboard plough can get stuck or damaged by these obstructions, a disc plough rotates and “rolls” over them, making it much more durable and effective for primary tillage in this region.

Question: How many discs do I need for a 75HP tractor like the MF 375?

Answer: For a 75HP tractor, a 3-disc plough is the standard recommendation for most soil types. If you are working in very sandy conditions with a 4WD model, you may be able to pull a 4-disc plough, but 3 discs offer the best balance of depth and speed.

Question: Can the depth of the ploughing be adjusted?

Answer: Yes. The depth can be adjusted using the tractor’s hydraulic lift control and by changing the angle of the rear furrow wheel. Our disc ploughs can reach a maximum depth of 300mm, which is ideal for deep soil inversion.

Question: How often do the discs need to be replaced?

Answer: Our discs are made of high-strength boron steel, which is designed for long-term use. Replacement depends on soil abrasiveness, but typically they last for several seasons. We stock genuine replacement discs at our Botswana service centers.

Question: Does a disc plough help with weed control?

Answer: Absolutely. The disc plough is highly effective at cutting and burying weeds and crop stubble deep underground. This helps in natural decomposition, adding organic matter to the soil while preventing weeds from competing with your new crop.
