©plus Helios 400 – the latest generation of ploughs

Maximum ease of use and enormous stability – all part of the new ©plus Helios 400 plough range from Vogel & Noot. The 4 to 7-furrow ploughs are ideal for new-generation, top-class standard-wheel tractors (180–400 PS). The new universal slatted body XST 400 achieves optimal work quality even on slopes.

Maximum ease of use at the touch of a button

Having a limited number of control devices on the tractor is no longer a problem. Thanks to the new hydraulic comfort box ('VNHD ComBox') all hydraulic functions of the plough can be controlled at the same time with ease at the touch of a button.

The hydraulic camber adjustment integrated in the turning cylinder is the newest feature. The track width is hydraulically adjusted via a centrally positioned cylinder on the adjustment slide block. The track width adjustment can be retrofitted at any time as required. The depth is adjusted using the hydraulic transport swing support wheel with scraper. The wheel can be positioned close to the frame thanks to the similarly positioned connecting rod, allowing for optimum edge ploughing. The wide wheel (770 mm) features a high load-bearing capacity at the same time. The Vario cylinder with hydraulic in-swing mechanism optimises the angle and centre of gravity of the ©plus Helios. Problem-free, smooth turning is ensured. Hydraulic furrow width adjustment is possible from 30–60 cm.

Reaching full power with ease

The newly designed Shell Power Frame system (SPF system) represents the connection between the turnover unit and the frame tube. High-tensile sheet steel connects this system to the frame tube. This, together with the optimal integration of the first three plough bodies, leads to maximum stability and a longer service life for the plough.

The plough frame with frame heights from 82 and 90 cm features the best pass properties. The use of special materials facilitates a reduced wall thickness and therefore reduced weight with high stability at the same time. The body distance of up to 1150 mm also allows for blockage-free work.

The headstock (cat. III/IV) with integrated toolbox is equipped with a strong turning cylinder and large tapered roller bearing. This ensures high turning power and load-bearing capacity. A strong bearing tube and the standard height-adjustable cross-shaft contribute to additional safety and stability.

The completely newly designed Light Power Package leg bracket package is lighter and even stronger thanks to its optimised components. The high trigger force of the shear bolt stump-jump system is 7.5 t, bringing it to number one in the market comparison. Manure skimmers with overload protection can be adjusted without tools in both angle of cut and working depth. The optional disc coulter (Ø 600 mm) ensures a clean furrow.

The ©plus Helios can also be optionally fitted with the base roller for less wear and tear. The simultaneous traction reduction and therefore reduced fuel consumption save plenty of money.

Slatted optics for optimal work results

The newly designed XST 400 slatted body can handle all conditions, even difficult, sticky soils and slopes. It has optimal turning, good crumbling and an ideal furrow clearance, even with wide tyres (750 mm). With low wear, individually replaceable slats and reduced traction requirement, this plough is a breeze.
