Överum Ploughs: Built for Efficient, Precise Ploughing
When it comes to preparing land for the next crop, having a plough that delivers consistent results, works efficiently and is built to withstand demanding conditions is essential.
At J.H. Fitzpatrick Ltd, we supply Överum ploughs in Ireland, offering farmers access to a range of robust and efficient reversible ploughs designed for modern agricultural systems.
With more than 165 years of plough development behind the Överum brand, the range combines traditional engineering expertise with modern technology, focusing on efficient ploughing, precision, durability and low operating costs.
Whether you are looking for a mounted reversible plough or a semi-mounted model, Överum offers solutions across a wide range of tractor sizes and field conditions.
Why Choose an Överum Plough?
Ploughing is an important part of the cultivation system on many Irish farms, and the right machine can make a significant difference to field performance and operating costs.
Överum has continually developed its ploughing technology with a focus on efficiency, precision and economy.
The result is a range of ploughs designed to provide:
- Efficient soil cultivation
- Consistent ploughing results
- Low draught requirements
- Easy adjustment
- Strong and durable construction
- Excellent manoeuvrability
- Long service life
- Reduced operating costs
Överum’s adjustment system is designed to make it straightforward to set the plough for efficient operation and achieve a low draught requirement, helping farmers achieve a good ploughing result while keeping operating costs under control.
Built for Demanding Farming Conditions
Agricultural machinery needs to perform season after season, often in challenging ground conditions.
Överum ploughs are built using hardened components and a modular construction with strong bolted joints. This approach provides strength while also allowing individual components to be replaced when required.
Överum also uses specially hardened and carbonised steel, developed in cooperation with Swedish steel suppliers, to provide durable components designed for a long working life.
For farmers, this means choosing a plough designed not just for today’s workload, but for many seasons of reliable performance.
Överum Reversible Ploughs
Överum offers a comprehensive range of fully mounted and semi-mounted reversible ploughs, allowing farmers to choose a machine suited to their tractor, acreage and farming system.
The range includes models suitable for different tractor power requirements and furrow configurations.
Fully mounted options include:
- Xcelsior BX
- Xcelsior CX2
- Vari Flex CX
- Vari Flex CXP
- Xcelsior DX
- Xcelsior EX
- Vari Flex EX
- Vari Flex EX-OL
Överum also produces semi-mounted reversible ploughs including the CVL, EVL and Vari Flex EVL ranges.
With options ranging from smaller 2–3 furrow machines through to larger 7 and 8 furrow semi-mounted ploughs, there is flexibility to match the machine to different tractor sizes and farming operations.
Designed for Low Draught and Efficient Ploughing
Fuel efficiency and operating costs are important considerations when choosing cultivation machinery.
Överum focuses heavily on reducing draught requirements while maintaining effective soil inversion and ploughing performance.
The company’s range of plough bodies has been developed for different soil and field conditions. For example, the XL body is designed with a particularly low draught requirement, while other body designs are available for sticky soils, stony conditions and different working depths.
This allows farmers to select a plough body and point configuration suited to their individual soil conditions rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Choosing the Right Överum Plough
Every farm has different requirements.
When selecting a new plough, factors such as:
- Tractor horsepower
- Number of furrows
- Soil type
- Working depth
- Required working width
- Field conditions
- Ploughing system
- Stone protection requirements
should all be considered.
Överum’s range includes different working widths, furrow configurations and protection systems, making it possible to select a machine suited to your individual farming system.
At J.H. Fitzpatrick Ltd, our experienced team can help you identify the right Överum plough for your tractor and farming requirements.
Överum Plough Bodies and Points
The plough body plays an important role in how a machine performs in different soil conditions.
Överum offers a selection of plough bodies, including XL, XLP, XLD, XSD, XU and XS designs.
These are designed to suit different applications, from general soil conditions through to sticky soils, stony ground and sloping land.
Överum also offers different point options, including reversible, flush and short points, allowing farmers to select the appropriate configuration for their soil conditions.
The flush point, for example, is designed to improve soil flow and reduce soil adherence in sticky conditions, while the short point is intended for rocky conditions.
Överum Vari Flex Ploughs
For farmers looking for greater flexibility in the field, the Överum Vari Flex range offers adjustable working widths.
The current range includes fully mounted and semi-mounted options, with models designed for different tractor power and furrow requirements.
The latest Vari Flex CX-H and Vari Flex CXP-H models feature hydraulically operated working width adjustment, giving farmers greater flexibility when setting up the plough for different field conditions.
