Abstract

See full text

A device for automatically adjusting the working width of the first plough body of a plough in accordance with the variable working width of subsequent plough bodies. A first hydraulic cylinder displaces a rear frame section laterally. A second hydraulic cylinder pivots the rear frame section to adjust a transverse spacing of the plough bodies. The first hydraulic cylinder includes a multi-stage cylinder. A first cylinder stage forms a main lateral control, and a second cylinder stage forms an automatic working-width control for the first plough body. The second cylinder stage is in hydraulic-fluid communication with the second hydraulic cylinder in a master-slave configuration. The second cylinder stage is master or the slave depending on a moving direction of the cylinder stage and the second hydraulic cylinder being slave or the master. Piston diameters are matched to provide a correction of a lateral displacement of the front frame section.
