The tractor cylinder (#35) lifts, steers, and loads. This cylinder does something none of those do \u2014 it rotates an entire plough frame 180\u00b0 at the headland, slamming 500\u20133,000 kg of steel and soil from one side to the other in under 8 seconds. No other agricultural cylinder combines this much rotational force, this much impact, and this much exposure to soil and stone \u2014 every pass, hundreds of times per ploughing day.<\/p>\n

Why a Plough Needs to Flip \u2014 The Dead Furrow Problem<\/h2>\n

A conventional plough throws soil to one side only \u2014 typically to the right. The tractor drives up the field, turns at the headland, and drives back. But on the return pass, the plough still throws soil to the right \u2014 which is now the opposite direction relative to the field. This creates “dead furrows” (open trenches) and “back furrows” (raised ridges) across the field, leaving an uneven surface that interferes with seeding, irrigation, and crop establishment.<\/p>\n

The turnover (reversible) plough solves this: it carries two mirror-image sets of mouldboards \u2014 one set for each direction. At the headland, the cylinder rotates the entire frame 180\u00b0, presenting the opposite set of mouldboards. The soil is now thrown in the same direction relative to the field on both passes \u2014 producing a flat, uniform surface with no dead furrows. The result: better seedbed preparation, more uniform crop emergence, and easier irrigation management. Korea Ever-Power manufactures the turnover cylinder as part of the agricultural and industrial cylinder range<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Headland Flip \u2014 Four Seconds of Maximum Demand<\/h2>\n

At the end of every pass, the tractor reaches the headland. The operator lifts the plough out of the ground, and the turnover cylinder executes the flip:<\/p>\n

Plough lifts clear of the ground<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tractor’s 3-point hitch cylinders (#35) raise the plough until all mouldboards are above ground level. The plough hangs from the hitch \u2014 free to rotate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Turnover cylinder extends \u2014 plough begins rotating<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cylinder pushes a lever arm on the plough’s turnover shaft. The entire plough frame \u2014 mouldboards, shares, frame tubes, and accumulated soil \u2014 begins to rotate around the horizontal axis. This is the maximum force phase: the cylinder must overcome the dead weight of the plough at the worst-case lever arm angle (typically 90\u00b0 from horizontal, where gravitational torque is maximum).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Plough passes top-dead-centre \u2014 gravity takes over<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once the plough rotates past the vertical (top-dead-centre), gravity accelerates it toward the opposite side. The cylinder must now decelerate \u2014 switching from driving the rotation to braking it. Without braking, the 2-tonne plough slams into the mechanical stop at full speed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

The cylinder’s end-of-stroke cushion (or meter-out circuit) decelerates the plough over the last 15\u201330\u00b0 of rotation, bringing the mass to a controlled stop on the mechanical support stops. The opposite mouldboard set is now in the working position. The operator lowers the plough into the soil and begins the return pass.

Rotational Force \u2014 Why the Turnover Cylinder Is Sized for the Worst 5 Degrees<\/h2>\n
\n \"Turnover<\/p>\n

The turnover cylinder does not produce a constant force through its stroke \u2014 the load varies dramatically with the plough’s rotation angle. At the start of the flip (plough lying on one side), the gravitational torque is low \u2014 the plough’s centre of gravity is close to the rotation axis. As the plough rotates toward vertical, the torque increases \u2014 the centre of gravity moves further from the axis. At exactly 90\u00b0 (plough standing vertical), the gravitational torque is maximum.<\/p>\n

The cylinder must deliver enough force at this worst-case 90\u00b0 position to keep the plough rotating \u2014 against the full gravitational torque of 500\u20133,000 kg at the maximum lever arm distance. On a 5-furrow reversible plough weighing 2,000 kg with the centre of gravity 400 mm from the rotation axis, the required cylinder force at 90\u00b0 is approximately 40\u201360 KN (depending on the cylinder’s own lever arm geometry).<\/p>\n

After passing 90\u00b0, gravity helps \u2014 but the cylinder must now brake instead of push. The hydraulic circuit typically uses a counterbalance valve that restricts the return oil flow, preventing the plough from free-falling onto the opposite stops. The cylinder, valve, and mechanical stops must all be designed as a coordinated system.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Hidden Load \u2014 Accumulated Soil, Stones, and Wet Clay<\/h2>\n
\n
\n Soil accumulation adds 30\u201350% to the flip weight<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the plough lifts out of the ground, soil clings to the mouldboards, shares, and frame. In wet clay conditions, this accumulated soil can add 500\u20131,500 kg to the plough’s dry weight \u2014 increasing the cylinder’s required flip force by 30\u201350% above the clean-plough calculation. The cylinder must be sized for the worst-case wet-soil condition, not the dry-weight specification.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n Stones trapped between frame members<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stones lodge between the mouldboard and the frame during ploughing. During the flip, a trapped stone can jam the rotation \u2014 creating a sudden force spike that the cylinder must absorb without stalling. The cylinder and the hydraulic relief valve must handle these intermittent jams without damage to the cylinder, the plough frame, or the tractor’s hydraulic system.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n Asymmetric soil \u2014 the plough flips heavier on one side<\/strong><\/p>\n

Soil accumulation is not equal on both mouldboard sets \u2014 the set that was in the ground carries more soil than the set that was in the air. This asymmetry shifts the plough’s centre of gravity off-centre, creating a rotational imbalance. The cylinder must handle this imbalance \u2014 which changes the top-dead-centre force requirement and the braking requirement on the falling side.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Manufacturing \u2014 Built for Rotational Impact, Not Linear Motion<\/h2>\n
\n \"Korea<\/p>\n

Most hydraulic cylinders produce linear motion \u2014 push and pull along a straight line. The turnover cylinder produces linear motion at the rod but the load is rotational \u2014 the rod pushes a lever arm that rotates the plough. This creates side loads on the rod and piston that do not exist in purely linear applications. Korea Ever-Power specifies oversized rod guide bearings and a spherical rod end to accommodate the angular misalignment as the lever arm rotates through 180\u00b0.<\/p>\n

The barrel end-of-stroke cushion is sized for the worst-case landing impact \u2014 the full plough mass accelerating under gravity for the last 15\u201330\u00b0 of rotation. This is a much higher energy cushion than any linear application because the mass is accelerating rotationally, not just decelerating linearly. The cushion nose and the deceleration passage are designed for this specific energy absorption requirement.<\/p>\n

The bore is honed to Ra 0.2\u20130.4 \u00b5m. Chrome plating is 80 \u00b5m (maximum \u2014 the rod is directly exposed to soil splash during ploughing). Double-lip wipers with a hardened scraper ring remove compacted soil from the rod before it enters the seal. Every turnover cylinder is hydrostatic tested at 1.5\u00d7 working pressure and impact-tested \u2014 verifying cushion performance under a simulated plough-landing shock load.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

FAQ<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

How many flips per day does the cylinder perform?<\/h3>\n

One flip per pass. In a 10-hour ploughing day, a tractor ploughing 300-metre passes at 8 km\/h makes approximately 150\u2013250 headland turns \u2014 each requiring one flip. During peak ploughing season (autumn and spring), the cylinder may perform 200+ flips per day for 20\u201340 consecutive days. Over a ploughing season, that is 4,000\u201310,000 flip cycles \u2014 each involving the full force-to-impact sequence.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Can a standard tractor cylinder (#35) be used for the turnover function?<\/h3>\n

Not recommended. A standard HSG tractor cylinder<\/a> is designed for linear loads \u2014 push\/pull along the rod axis. The turnover application imposes rotational side loads, high-energy landing impacts, and worst-case gravitational torque at 90\u00b0 that a standard cylinder’s rod bearing and cushion are not designed for. The turnover cylinder has an oversized rod guide, a spherical rod end for angular misalignment, and an impact-rated cushion \u2014 none of which are standard features on general-purpose tractor cylinders.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Does the plough always flip in the same direction?<\/h3>\n

Yes \u2014 the double-acting cylinder extends to flip in one direction and retracts to flip back on the next headland turn. The flip alternates: extend at one headland, retract at the next. Both directions must deliver the same peak force (at 90\u00b0) and the same cushioned landing \u2014 so the cylinder is symmetrically designed with cushions at both ends of the stroke.
