Watch the second video Walkaround Single-wheel or carriage? Your choice of semi-mounted single-wheel or carriage plough will depend on the contours of your fields and the manoeuvrability and working width that you want. Single-wheel (Voyager S) Manoeuvrability and productivity without making compromises If you have small plots or fields with challenging contours, the choice of a single-wheel semi-mounted plough is by far the best option as it allows you to combine flexibility with a good working width. Carriage (Voyager C) Topography and large farms Do you have to work on sloped fields? Do you need to plough very large areas in a short time? Without question, you need a semi-mounted carriage plough. A range of semi-mounted ploughs from 5 to 14 furrows + Voyager S60 Tractors: Working width: 125 → 210 hp 91,97 → 154,51 kW 1,50 → 4,00 m. 4,92 → 13,12 ft Semi-mounted plough from 5 to 8 furrows + Voyager C60 Tractors: Working width: 125 → 210 hp 91,97 → 154,51 kW 1,80 → 5,00 m. 5,91 → 16,40 ft Semi-mounted plough from 6 to 10 furrows + Voyager S70 Tractors: Working width: 210 → 400 hp 154,51 → 294,30 kW 1,50 → 4,50 m. 4,92 → 14,76 ft Semi-mounted plough from 5 to 9 furrows + Voyager C80 Tractors: Working width: 210 → 600 hp 154,51 → 441,45 kW 2,10 → 7,10 m. 6,89 → 23,29 ft Semi-mounted plough from 7 to 14 furrows In-furrow or on-land? The choice between in-furrow or on-land is more than a just a discussion; it is about real situations and conditions. In-furrow Suitable for small to medium tractors, in-furrow ploughs make ploughing easier. The tractor wheels sit in the furrow for good grip and traction, especially in wet conditions. The furrow guides the tractor which is especially useful if you do not have GPS guidance. On-land On-land ploughs are suitable for high power tractors, including tracked, twin wheels or wheels over 710 mm in width. By working on-land, tyre wear is reduced, especially on flinty soils. The Grégoire Besson semi-mounted on-land ploughs allow you to work either in-furrow or on-land. Multi-position or Vario? Selecting the best type of width adjustment for your plough... Multi-positions If you always work with the same conditions (soil, plot layout, climate, crops, etc.), you probably won’t need to change your working width often. When it is necessary, you simply loosen the working width adjustment bolts and position the plough bodies on the desired working width indicators. This only takes a few minutes. Vario For ploughs used by several people (for example, in a cooperative) or when you have to plough in varying conditions (subcontracting, farms with different soils or crops, different terrains, etc.), we recommend the Vario system. From the cab, you can adjust your working width and adapt to your needs in a few seconds. This is particularly useful in small plots and in headlands. Choosing the right safety system is also important. Does your soil contain stones? Is your soil clayey? What you need to know... Bolt Non-Stop Hydraulic If your soil is not stony, you can choose the shear bolt safety system. If you hit a foreign body, the shear bolt gives way, the ploughing element rises and lets the object pass. The shearing noise alerts you, so you stop and extract the sheared bolt. Simply replace the shear bolt and start ploughing again. If you happen to hit an obstacle, this safety feature prevents damage to your plough or tractor. The shear bolts give way when a force of between 4.2 and 6 tons is exerted at the tip, depending on the height of the elements and the type of bolt used. Low drag, low fuel consumption The Voyager S60 and C60 are equipped with offset legs. Learn more about their benefits in this video. In a few words, 100 litres of fuel saved for 150 hectares worked. Smart design The details that make all the difference. Smooth turning Turning your plough can be stressful. Whether you have the rack and pinion system or the double cylinder system, the Voyager can be turned smoothly even at the tipping point. You can reverse the turning process at any time. Rear lifting or articulation On the carriage models, the rear lifting jack allows you to deal with headlands smoothly and perform delicate manœuvres. The roller joint enables you to follow ground contours. 110 articulated headstock Voyager’s 110 headstock articulation gives you optimum manoeuvrability. Comfortable and efficient on plots with complex geometry, it enables you to perform short and fast headland manœuvres. Z beam The Voyager Z-shaped beam on single wheelers means that the wheel passage is covered by the last body. In addition, this beam allows the chassis to pass close to the wheel when turning. The centre of gravity is lowered and manoeuvring is safer. Load transfer On rack and pinion models, you can fit a load transfer cylinder that enables you to shift weight to the rear of the tractor to give better traction. You reduce your fuel consumption while optimizing grip. Offset On Voyager, the hydraulic offset management enables you to adapt to tractor tracks from 1.3 to 4.7 m width. This hydraulic adjustment offers you a precise, simple and efficient setting. Adding or removing a body If you change to a higher or lower power tractor, you can add or remove a ploughing body. Remember to specify this when configuring your plough. You don’t have to change ploughs when you change tractors. Simple settings You can set the working depth in 3 places: the tractor lift at the front, a stop screw on the carriage (depending on the model) and another on the depth wheel. To adjust tilt, simply adjust the stop screws located either side of the headstock. That’s it, you’re ready. Hydraulic controls With the hydraulic selector you can have up to 6 hydraulic controls in the cab even if you only have 3 hydraulic valves on your tractor. Positioning the plough When you’re manoeuvring in headlands, turning the plough one way then the other helps you to position it. This means you can position and guide it exactly where you want. Precise ploughing from 15 to 40 cm deep over different working widths. Depending on the soil, your farming programme, the working depth and the volume of material to be buried, you can do crumbled or deeper, high furrow ploughing. Crumbled ploughing The step before seedbed preparation If you are about to plant a crop, crumbled ploughing enables you to mix the material just before passing with a seedbed preparer. This step makes it easier to pass with the seedbed preparer while weeding and enriching the lower soil layer. Crumbled ploughing can be carried out at fairly high speed and results in a flatter soil. Over winter ploughing Let water and oxygen enter the soil If you need to do winter ploughing, especially in clayey soils, it can be valuable to do deeper, high furrow ploughing. This allows you to channel the water, which during winter will turn into frost and break up the ground. Crumbled ploughing also allows oxygen to penetrate the intermediate layers of the soil. In spring, this will make ploughing and sowing easier. Crumbled ploughing, which is carried out with a helicoidal mouldboard, has a better capacity to bury organic matter. It maintains the structure on the surface for a few months without work and helps the germination of weeds present in the soil. The benefits and agronomical advantages of ploughing Although it has often been criticized, ploughing is making a comeback as it brings a multitude of benefits to the soil in one pass. Soil structure Ploughing improves soil structure. By turning and loosening the soil, ploughing allows air and water to circulate. Then freezing and thawing actions break up the soil, creating a structure that is suitable for cultivation. Ploughing is an effective step in seedbed preparation. Burial Ploughing allows you to introduce organic fertilizers into the soil (manure, slurry, residues, plant cover, grassland...) Ploughing gives you the opportunity to provide important nutrients (such as phosphorus, potassium, etc.) for the roots of your future crop. By diluting these elements in large volumes of soil, ploughing helps to sustain future crops. Weed control Ploughing buries weed seeds deep enough so that they do not germinate and then compete with your crop. This cleans the soil surface mechanically and lowers input costs for farmers. No chemical action is necessary. Water flow Ploughing allows water to infiltrate and circulate freely and so limit retention. By circulating within the intermediate and deep layers, water does not create a crust which prevents erosion of the nutrient-rich surface. Extreme weather When droughts or heavy rains prevent straightforward cultivation, ploughing provides a viable solution. By bringing a uniform and balanced level of moisture into the different layers, planting becomes possible again despite challenging conditions. Mineralization Ploughing makes nitrogen less volatile by trapping it in the soil which accelerates mineralization. Nitrogen accelerates the decomposition of organic matter. Existing crops benefit from its increased availability. Which ploughing body should I choose? Your soil hardness will mainly determine whether you should take a body with bolt-on points or a body with bar points. We recommend bodies with bar points for soils that tend to become compacted or for grasslands. Bodies with bolt-on points Body with bar points Mouldboards for bodies with bolt-on points Helico-cylindrical AR5H Mouldboard for moulded ploughing from 18 to 27 cm deep in all types of soil.

Slatted CV9 12 Helicoidal mouldboard for ploughing 22 to 35 cm deep in heavy soils. Suitable for cutting widths from 35 to 55 cm. The blades can be replaced individually for greater savings. Skimmers, trash boards, disc coulters, etc. Mixed Skimmer The short coulter and mouldboard make this combination very versatile. It is suitable for 80% of applications. Plastic Mixed Skimmer The plastic mouldboard enables the surface to be scalped, even with very sticky soils. Universal Skimmer Its wider coulter and longer mouldboard enable it to handle larger volumes of plants than the mixed skimmer. Maize Skimmer The high mouldboard guarantees a smooth passage through tall plants such as corn, sunflower, etc. Pasture Skimmer The very long mouldboard enables it to turn over very dense root systems such as those found in grasslands. Trash board Used mainly in winter ploughing, it positions the residues of large plants vertically to improve water infiltration. Spring-mounted Disc Coulter Suitable for stony soils. It cuts plants and soil 10 cm in front of the body. It creates a clean furrow base and wall that provides better grip to the tractor. Bolted Disc Coulter Suitable for lightly stony soils. It cuts plants and soil 10 cm in front of the body. It creates a clean furrow base and wall that provides better grip to the tractor. Knife coulter It cuts a strip of earth to stop the furrow wall attaching to the mouldboard and helps prevent it from crumbling. Mouldboard extension The mouldboard extension positions the earth for precise finishing. It limits wear at the end of the mouldboard. Spike Sub-soiler It loosens the soil to a depth of 15 cm under the plough body. It promotes water infiltration, gas exchange and root exploration. Furrow opener The furrow opener enlarges the furrow base so that track markers equipped with wide tyres have better grip. The Andpak roller can also be part of the trip Grégoire Besson presents a different perspective on ploughing. Combining a mounted roller and a plough in crop management helps to protect the soil from erosion. The soil is turned and consolidated, retaining moisture for an even and rapid germination of future seedlings. In light soils, this equipment prevents wind erosion. Land needs to breathe. It is necessary to manage soil compaction. Instant consolidation creates the lift needed to establish the next crop. The Andpak roller refines the surface structure to make it ideal for sowing (or self-seeding). It contributes to the success of the first stage of plant growth. The plough + mounted roller combination is very manoeuvrable at the end of a plot and very compact on the road. Instant consolidation results in productivity as it eliminates the need to pass with a roller on its own. The Trailed LIfter A solution for tractors without rear lift The Trailed Lifter has been developed for tractors without lift or those with poor position control. It serves as a rear lift. It brings a good balance of load on your tractor by optimizing traction, especially on single track tractors. We have equipped the Trailed Lifter with large diameter wheels for a good training. The wheels and the wheelbase are wide for a good stability of the whole. The adjustment of the depth remains very simple by the positioning of a low stop. A look around your machines... Our customers tell us Alexander Nikolaevich, Russia, Krasnodar region, Caucasus region Voyager S70 « The Grégoire Besson 8 body plow works for its first year. We work after corn and wheat on 500 ha. We had seen this plow in the neighboring farm and decided to take the same thing. It closes the crop residues completely, after which there are no more residues on the surface. » Sergey Nikolaevich Olkhovsky, Russia, Belgorod region, Chief Engineer of the Novooskol branch Voyager S70 « The plow has been working for us since 2008, we got it from the previous owner when we bought the farm. The plow is used with a John Deere 7830 tractor. It works perfectly, everyone is happy. You can see for yourself what is the technical condition - we tint when setting in winter storage. There have never been any questions about this, consumables are consumables and have never been a problem. A hard worker, in a word. » Mayboroda Sergey Ivanovich, Russia, Krasnodar region Voyager S70 « We acquired the SPML plow in 2013, we chose it for the quality of its plowing. Our leaders have seen how this plow works in demonstration. We are satisfied with the way it plows: broken and scattered furrows are excluded. The fusion of plow and plant residues is of high quality. That’s why we chose the Grégoire Beson plow.
