Mole Plough
Mole Ploughs are used to create mole drains that allow the downward movement of ground water in heavy soil. Widely used in Ireland and Britain to improve the quality of crops and grazing land.
R&M Buckets produces a wide range of different mole ploughs including Single/Multi Leg Ploughs, Gravel Tunnel Ploughs and attachments including Pipe Layers, Reel Carriers and Rollers.
Mole Plough FAQ
A mole plough is a specialised agricultural implement designed for soil cultivation and drainage purposes. It consists of a sturdy, wedge-shaped ploughshare equipped with a cylindrical, torpedo-like mole or subsoil point that is typically made of steel. This point is designed to penetrate the soil at deeper levels, typically between 12 to 18 inches beneath the surface, without turning over the topsoil. As the mole plough is pulled through the field by a tractor or other suitable machinery, it creates a vertical channel or trench in the soil. These channels serve several important functions, including improving water drainage by breaking up compacted layers, enhancing root growth and aeration, and alleviating soil compaction issues. Mole ploughs are particularly valuable in regions with heavy clay soils or where waterlogging is a common problem, as they help optimise soil structure and promote healthier crop growth.
A mole plough and a subsoiler are both agricultural implements used for soil cultivation and improvement, but they have distinct differences in terms of design and function. A mole plough is equipped with a specialised cylindrical mole or subsoil point that creates deep, vertical channels in the soil without turning over the topsoil. It’s primarily used for improving drainage, breaking up compacted layers, and enhancing root growth in a non-invasive manner. In contrast, a subsoiler typically features a single, sturdy shank with a pointed tip that penetrates deep into the soil, breaking up compacted layers and relieving soil compaction. Subsoilers are often used to prepare the soil for subsequent ploughing or planting, and they may not create the same vertical channels as a mole plough. Ultimately, the choice between a mole plough and a subsoiler depends on the specific soil conditions and the desired outcome for agricultural operations.
The depth of a mole drain refers to the vertical distance at which the drain is installed below the soil surface. Mole drains are a type of subsurface agricultural drainage system used to improve soil structure and water management. Typically, the depth of a mole drain can vary depending on factors such as soil type, drainage goals, and crop requirements. In practice, mole drains are often installed between 12 to 24 inches (30 to 60 centimeters) below the soil surface. This depth allows them to effectively alleviate waterlogging issues and enhance soil aeration by creating channels through which excess water can flow, ultimately promoting healthier crop growth and improved land productivity. The specific depth chosen for a mole drain installation is determined through careful consideration of local soil conditions and the desired drainage outcomes.
