Common plow bolt fasteners range from M8 to M16, with lengths from 30 to 90 mm, depending on frame thickness and plow type. Choose a length that passes through both holes with enough thread remaining after tightening. Matkel offers multiple sizes for Saudi agricultural use.
Yes, select rust-treated fasteners such as galvanized or heat-treated bolts. They are exposed to irrigation water, dust, and high humidity in Saudi farms. This treatment reduces corrosion and helps keep the plow secure for longer, even with heavy field use.
Plow bolt fasteners are engineered for heavy loads and constant vibration during plowing, while ordinary fasteners suit light-duty work. They usually have a larger thread diameter, longer thread length, and stronger material. Selecting the correct torque prevents loosening and deformation.
Tighten them with a torque wrench using the manufacturer's value, often between 40 and 80 N-m depending on size. Recheck every 20 to 30 operating hours, or before the plowing season, especially in dusty or high-vibration areas in Saudi Arabia.
Not automatically, because hole spacing, diameter, and length vary across narrow, wide, and different plow sizes. Measure the diameter, length, and distance between holes before buying. Matkel provides multiple sizes to make selecting the right factory-quality replacement easier.
