Abstract :The plow frequently used in soil cultivation, is a soil cultivation machine that turns over hardened and compacted soil, aerates it, and makes it more suitable for growing plants. Reversible plows, which provide straight plowing, are multi-bottom (5, 6 and more bottom) and, due to their weight, are attached to the tractor in a semi-mounted or towed instead of a three-point hitch. In this study, the possibility of converting semi-mounted reversible plows into mounted type reversible plows by hydraulic folding was examined, taking into account the road conditions and field conditions, preparation status in the field, and turning situations in the field. It is well known that semi-mounted reversible plows pose traffic safety risks during road transport and result in longer turning times in the field. That it is more costly because there are too many hydraulic system parts in their structures. In this study, using the SolidWorks software, plows of various bottom sizes and bottom numbers were designed, and the distance between the center of gravity of the plow and the three-point hitch system of the tractor was determined, and then the appropriate folding that would not cause the tractor to rearward tipping was achieved. This folding configuration was designed after determining its suitability to the tractor’s drawbar pull, ensuring that the reversible moldboard plough can be effectively operated in the field. The reaction force of the tractor front wheels was measured using both theoretical moment calculation and SolidWorks software. In addition, the strength analysis of the hydraulic folding components of the plow was performed with SolidWorks software, which uses the Finite Element Method in its structure.
