T123 FOLDING WING PLOW

 

Frame – Manufactured in Australia from 4″ x 4″ 3/8 RHS

Hitch – The Yeomans Trailing Model plows are fitted with a heavy‑duty hydraulically adjustable Top Link incorporated into the solid steel A‑frame tow bar assembly. This system allows precise hydraulic levelling of the plow frame from the tractor cab, ensuring the plow operates dead level at the selected working depth regardless of terrain or drawbar height variation.

Depth Control – All Trailing Folding Wing Plows come standard with hydraulic depth control system with adjustable mounting mechanism which allows various wheel positions. The system comes with 2 single wheels on the centre frame and a single wing on each wing.

All TFW123 folding wing plows use a standardised wing length, with each wing measuring 7.5 ft (2.23 m). This fixed wing size is consistent across the folding wing range, ensuring predictable folding geometry, balanced weight distribution, and reliable hydraulic operation regardless of overall plow width. Overall working width is increased by varying the centre section, not the wings themselves.

The centre section length changes to suit wider plows, with centre sections ranging from approximately 9 ft through to 25 ft, allowing the TFW123 to be configured in working widths up to 40 ft (12 m). This modular approach provides flexibility when matching the plow to tractor horsepower, paddock size, and desired tine count, while retaining a consistent and proven wing system.

The folding wings are operated by a hydraulically actuated folding system that has been developed and refined by Yeomans over more than 20 years. When raised, the wings fold well past vertical, ensuring they remain securely in position even in rough terrain. The system is designed so the wings will not fall or creep down unintentionally, even under extreme operating conditions.

The TFW123 can be operated with the wings fully extended, partially folded, or fully folded, allowing cultivation to continue in confined paddocks or when reduced working width is required. When folded, the plow can still be used for deep working, giving operators flexibility without the need to change machines. For extended road transport, Yeomans recommends securing the wings together as a precaution.

Like all T123‑based frames, the TFW123 is a three‑beam design, providing excellent internal clearance for residue flow, wheel placement, and shank layout across the centre section and wings. The frame is manufactured from fully welded 4″ × 4″ × ⅜” RHS steel, delivering the rigidity and durability required for sustained operation at scale. Shanks are clamp‑mounted rather than welded, allowing flexible spacing and straightforward reconfiguration across the entire width of the plow.

Each TFW123 is supplied with a hydraulic depth control system, with wheels mounted on both the centre section and wings to help maintain consistent working depth and frame stability across wide working widths. Optional castoring coulter discs and Yeomans Crumble Rollers, available in manual or hydraulic configurations, can be fitted to improve pasture protection, residue handling, and surface finish following cultivation.

Designed and manufactured on the Darling Downs, the T123 Folding Wing Plow combines wide‑frame efficiency with proven Yeomans engineering, offering a scalable, durable solution for large‑scale Keyline cultivation where productivity, flexibility, and long‑term reliability are essential.

Why We Prefer Drawbar Horsepower (Not Just Engine Horsepower)

When selecting a Yeomans plow, drawbar horsepower and tractor weight are more important than engine horsepower alone.

A tractor may have sufficient horsepower on paper, but without adequate weight and traction it cannot apply that power effectively. This is especially true for compact utility tractors. For this reason, Yeomans plow selection should be based on usable drawbar horsepower.

How Many Shanks Should I Run?
Depending on soil type, compaction and tractor models, we recommend anywhere from 7-15HP per shank.

Up to 20–30 horsepower per shank may be required for initial cultivation in very compacted or dry hardpan soils. In such situations it is best to order a plow based on the standard recommendation, but start plowing with fewer shanks and re-introduce shanks as soil conditions improve.

With the above in mind, a practical starting point is to allow approximately 10 drawbar horsepower per shank.
