The BSM 1LF Series Hydraulic Reversible Mouldboard Plough is designed for agricultural tractors from approximately 50HP to 120HP. It is used for primary tillage, deep ploughing, soil inversion, crop residue burial and farmland preparation before planting.
The main advantage of the 1LF Series is its hydraulic reversing system. At the end of each field pass, the operator can use the tractor hydraulic system to rotate the plough frame, allowing the opposite set of plough bodies to enter the soil during the return pass.
This two-direction working method helps reduce open furrows and back furrows, improves field surface uniformity and is especially suitable for medium and large farms that require repeated primary tillage over long working periods.
During operation, the ploughshares cut into the soil while the mouldboards lift, break and turn the soil layer.
After one pass is completed, the operator activates the tractor hydraulic system to rotate the plough frame. The opposite plough bodies are then positioned for the return pass.
This allows the tractor to continue ploughing in the opposite direction while maintaining a more consistent soil-turning pattern. Compared with a fixed conventional furrow plough, this can help reduce irregular ridges and open furrows across the field.
| Model | Furrows | Single Furrow Width | Total Working Width | Working Depth | Matched Tractor Power | Machine Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1LF-330 | 3 | 300mm | 900mm | 200-350mm | 50-80HP | 630kg |
| 1LF-430 | 4 | 300mm | 1200mm | 200-350mm | 60-80HP | 880kg |
| 1LF-435 | 4 | 350mm | 1400mm | 200-350mm | 80-100HP | 880kg |
| 1LF-530 | 5 | 300mm | 1500mm | 200-350mm | 90-120HP | 1200kg |
| 1LF-535 | 5 | 350mm | 1750mm | 200-350mm | 120HP | 1200kg |
The specifications above are based on the current BSM 1LF Series configuration. Final matching should also consider tractor operating weight, rear lifting capacity, hydraulic outlet type, soil resistance, field slope and actual working depth.
The correct model should not be selected by tractor horsepower alone. Furrow quantity, working width and machine weight all increase the draft and lifting requirements.
Before selecting a model, buyers should consider:
The 1LF-330 uses three 300mm furrows, providing a total working width of approximately 900mm. It is the lightest model in the current 1LF range, with a machine weight of approximately 630kg.
This configuration can be considered for suitable 50-80HP tractors, especially where a more compact hydraulic reversible plough is required.
For tractors near the lower end of this range, rear lifting capacity, tractor operating weight and soil resistance should be checked carefully before selection.
The 1LF-430 has four 300mm furrows, providing approximately 1200mm total working width and a machine weight of approximately 880kg.
It is suitable for tractors from approximately 60HP to 80HP when sufficient traction, lifting capacity and hydraulic support are available.
Compared with the 1LF-330, the four-furrow configuration increases field coverage per pass but also creates greater draft and lifting requirements.
The 1LF-435 also uses four furrows, but each furrow is approximately 350mm wide. This increases total working width to approximately 1400mm.
It is designed for approximately 80-100HP tractors and is suitable for buyers who want a wider four-furrow working pattern.
Because the furrow width is greater than the 1LF-430, the tractor should provide sufficient traction especially when working at deeper settings or in heavier soil.
The 1LF-530 uses five 300mm furrows for a total working width of approximately 1500mm. The machine weighs approximately 1200kg.
This model is intended for stronger tractors and medium-large farms requiring higher field capacity.
A suitable 90-120HP tractor should have adequate operating weight, rear lifting capacity and hydraulic compatibility before this model is selected.
The 1LF-535 is the widest current configuration, using five 350mm furrows for a total working width of approximately 1750mm.
It is designed for approximately 120HP tractors and weighs approximately 1200kg.
This configuration is suitable for large-field primary tillage when higher field coverage is required and the tractor has sufficient traction, rear lifting capacity and hydraulic support.
A suitable 70HP 4WD tractor may be matched with the 1LF-330 or selected 1LF-430 applications under suitable soil conditions.
Because the 1LF-430 weighs approximately 880kg, rear lifting capacity and tractor operating weight should be checked carefully before final matching.

A 90HP tractor is positioned between the wider 4-furrow and entry-level 5-furrow configurations.
The 1LF-435 is a natural four-furrow option, while the 1LF-530 may be considered near the lower end of its stated power range after carefully checking tractor weight, hydraulic lift capacity, traction and soil resistance.
A 100HP 4WD tractor can be evaluated with the 1LF-435 or 1LF-530 depending on field conditions and required working capacity.
The 1LF-435 provides a wider four-furrow configuration, while the 1LF-530 adds a fifth furrow and increases total working width to approximately 1500mm.

| Comparison | 300mm Furrow Width | 350mm Furrow Width |
|---|---|---|
| Available Models | 1LF-330 / 1LF-430 / 1LF-530 | 1LF-435 / 1LF-535 |
| Draft Requirement | Lower under similar conditions | Higher under similar working depth |
| Field Coverage | More moderate | Higher per furrow |
| Suitable Direction | More conservative tractor matching or higher soil resistance | Wider field coverage when tractor traction is sufficient |
| Typical Buyer Need | Balance traction and working depth | Increase total working width and field capacity |
A wider furrow does not automatically mean better performance. In difficult soil, the narrower 300mm configuration may allow the tractor to maintain more stable traction and working depth.
A traditional fixed furrow plough normally turns soil in one fixed direction. This can create open furrows or raised ridges depending on how the field is worked.
The hydraulic reversing system allows the operator to change the plough orientation after each pass. This makes it easier to keep the soil turning pattern consistent during return-pass operation.
Main benefits include:
| Comparison | 1LF Hydraulic Reversible Plough | Conventional Furrow Plough |
|---|---|---|
| Tractor Range | Approx. 50-120HP | Approx. 40-120HP |
| Reversing Method | Hydraulic reversing | Fixed conventional structure |
| Published Furrow Configuration | 3-5 furrows | According to selected model |
| Main Advantage | Continuous return-pass ploughing | Simple mechanical structure |
| Hydraulic Requirement | Compatible hydraulic outlet required for reversing | Mainly rear three-point lifting |
| Typical Buyer | Medium-large farms requiring efficient repeated ploughing | Buyers requiring simpler conventional primary tillage |

The hydraulic reversing mechanism must be connected to a compatible tractor hydraulic outlet. A compatible double-acting hydraulic outlet is generally recommended for the current 1LF Series configuration.
Before ordering, buyers should confirm:
Because the plough weighs approximately 630-1200kg depending on model, adequate safety allowance should be retained when checking tractor rear lifting capacity.
Engine horsepower alone does not guarantee that a tractor can operate a large reversible plough efficiently.
The tractor also needs sufficient operating weight to transfer engine power into usable traction. If the tractor is too light, excessive wheel slip may occur, especially in hard soil or at deeper working depths.
For larger 4-furrow and 5-furrow configurations, front counterweights may also be required depending on tractor weight distribution and field conditions.
Loam normally provides moderate draft resistance and can be suitable for regular reversible ploughing when soil moisture is appropriate.
Clay soil can create significantly higher draft resistance, especially when dry or compacted. A narrower model or reduced working depth may be required depending on tractor traction.
The 1LF Series can be used for dryland primary tillage when tractor power, weight and plough size are properly matched.
Previously cultivated farmland is suitable for regular seasonal ploughing and soil inversion.
The mouldboard structure can bury suitable crop residue and surface weeds during soil inversion.
However, excessive long stalks or heavy residue accumulation may cause blockage. Crop residue should be chopped or managed before ploughing when necessary.
After primary tillage with a hydraulic reversible mouldboard plough, additional soil preparation may be required before planting.
