The Yeomans GP39 series is our General Purpose series which is designed to suit low range horsepower tractors. They are complementary to the very popular SB or single beam series of plows.

The major advantage of the GP39 plow is the two beam frames which offer greater flexibility and the ability to mount depth wheels internally or externally. The two beams also provide the staggering of shanks to eliminate slabbing which can occur in certain soil conditions when using a single tool bar frame.
All Yeomans shanks feature the famous rear track which provides infinite mounting options. All points and adapters are interchangeable between Yeomans implements. The GP39 frame has been designed to accept the full range of Oyster Clamp shanks including the 22″, 26″ and 31″ shank assemblies.

Yeomans Keyline Plow Frames suit a 13″ (330 mm) shank spacing. As shanks are clamped to the frame rather than being welded to it, this allows for multiple shank spacings. The fully welded frames are manufactured at the Gold Coast factory from 4″ x 4″ x 3/8″ (102 x 102 x 9.5 mm) RHS. This results in high strength equipment which has 75 years of proven reliability in the field.

The GP frame can be complemented with an optional castoring coulter disc ideal for pasture renovation to prevent tearing of the ground surface covering. Coulters are attached and removed to the frame using a single “L” bolt. These are available in 14″, 16″ or 18″ configurations. All coulter units are adjustable to maintain optimal distance between the coulter disc and the digging point.

Yeomans Crumble Rollers can be fitted as an optional extra. They are a robust 26″ diameter, angle iron construction which provides a superior level of finish to your worked ground or pasture. Units are available as either Hydraulic (HYD CRUM) or Manual (XARM CRUM) depending on your requirements.

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.

Minimal Soil Disturbance Design

75 years of Keyline expertise, design and testing has produced the best shank and point geometry to lift and fracture compacted subsoil without inverting or mixing the topsoil.

This controlled soil‑lifting action is achieved through carefully developed shank profiles and working angles that loosen the soil profile while preserving surface structure, residue, and ground cover. The result is a precise, mechanical approach to subsoil conditioning rather than aggressive cultivation.

Advanced Shear Pin System

The shear pin acts as a sacrificial mechanical safeguard, absorbing sudden shock loads by failing under excessive force before damage can be transferred to shank, clamp and frame.

What sets the Yeomans system apart is the ingenious design which uses short pieces of off-the-shelf mid steel rod instead of expensive machined pins. Changing a Yeomans pin is quick, easy and cheap. When the shear pin breaks, the shank doesn’t fall to the ground, it remains on the frame meaning a pin change takes around 40 seconds. No spare pins? no problem, use an M8 bolt to get you working again until replacements arrive.

Interchangeable Yeomans Shank System

Built around the Yeomans Oyster Clamp Shank (OCS) system, plows support interchangeable 22″, 26″, and 31″ shanks with replaceable points and adapters.

Clamp‑mounted shanks allow fast reconfiguration, simplified servicing, and long‑term component replacement without cutting or welding. This modular system gives operators the flexibility to adapt one frame to multiple applications while protecting long‑term machinery investment.

Fully Customisable & Upgradeable Frame System

Yeomans plows are built around a highly adaptable frame system designed to accept a wide range of attachments and configurations. The frame allows coulters, crumble rollers (manual or hydraulic), depth control systems, seeders, weeders, and hilling components to be easily fitted, removed, or reconfigured to suit changing applications. Plows can be set up as a dedicated cultivator, seeder, weeder, or hiller, or configured to perform multiple tasks in a single pass.

Importantly, these options can be specified at the time of purchase or added at any stage in the future, allowing the machine to evolve over the years. This modular approach ensures long‑term flexibility, protects machinery investment, and allows Yeomans plows to be upgraded and adapted over many years of use.

Heavy‑Duty Australian‑Built Construction

All Yeomans plows feature fully welded RHS steel frames designed and manufactured in Australia for Australian conditions. Frame designs have evolved through decades of field use to withstand demanding soils, variable terrain, and long working hours.

This proven construction approach delivers strength, durability, and confidence that the plow is built to perform year after year.
