TS 3755

TS 3755 is a terminology standard for ploughs used in tillage. Its purpose is to define the terms associated with ploughs so that the same component, function, or operating feature is described consistently across technical communication, documentation, and education.

Why plough terminology matters

A plough is a primary soil-working implement designed to cut, lift, invert, or loosen soil. In agricultural machinery, clear terminology is important because the names of parts and features can vary by region, manufacturer, or translation. A terminology standard helps align those names for components such as the body, mouldboard, share, point, and related working elements, supporting clearer communication between manufacturers, users, instructors, and technical writers.

What this standard covers

The scope of this standard is limited to definitions and terminology for ploughs. It is therefore a conceptual reference, not a performance specification or a test method. In general agricultural practice, plough terminology is used when describing tillage equipment, maintenance instructions, parts catalogues, and machinery training materials, where precise wording reduces ambiguity and supports consistent technical understanding.

• Creates a shared technical vocabulary for soil tillage equipment.
• Clarifies the naming of plough parts and functions.
• Supports consistency in catalogues, manuals, training, and translation.
• Should be read as a terminology reference, not as a test or performance standard.
