Test review: Ovlac Mini‑NH 7‑furrow plough with a pivoting head for on‑land work

The French specialist outlet Matériel Agricole has published a test review focused on the Ovlac Mini‑NH 7‑furrow reversible plough, designed for shallow ploughing and for handling high residue volumes, while remaining suitable for mixed use (up to 25 cm working depth).

What the article highlights

• Set-up: 7 furrows at 15" (38 cm), reaching a stated 2.68 m working width in that configuration.
• Working depth: a stated range from 7 to 25 cm with the Terraflow body, aimed at heavier conditions.
• Residue clearance: the review mentions 70 cm underbeam clearance and 66 cm inter-body spacing.
• Stability/adjustment: on-land work with an oscillating linkage, with head correction (as described by the outlet) to find balance during operation.
• Equipment: the test cites standard hydraulic offset for first-furrow bite adjustment and optional configurations for wide tyres or dual wheels.

Field observations (as reported by the outlet)

Under the conditions described, the outlet reports good performance around 20 cm depth, while noting that the join between passes can leave visible residues in some situations. It also suggests that optional deflectors could help guide soil flow and improve burial, depending on conditions.

The review also notes that, because it works on-land, the plough can become more limited in wet conditions and may lead to significant tractor slip sooner than other options compared in the test.
