Detailed Description:

• The 5-section Norma ridger-cultivator with crumbler rollers is an advanced, multi-functional care tool designed for the cultivation of potatoes, root crops, and ridged vegetables such as carrots, onions, and beets, as well as for use in corn and strawberry cultivation.

• The machine enables simultaneous processing of four rows, which significantly accelerates agrotechnical work, reduces the number of field passes, and limits soil compaction, which is crucial for plant development.

• Thanks to the adjustable inter-row spacing ranging from 625 to 750 mm, the ridger can be easily adapted to various crop configurations, making the device excellent for both open-field crops and more specialized vegetable farms.

• Despite its solid construction, the total weight of the machine is only 350 kg, providing a good balance between stability and mobility, enabling work in fields with varying degrees of moisture and soil structure.

• To operate the device, a tractor with a power of 35 kW (48 HP) is sufficient, making the machine accessible to a wide range of users—in both small and medium-sized farms.

• The vegetable cultivator is equipped with a working assembly consisting of light spring tines, duckfoot shares, looseners, hilling shares, and crumbler rollers with a diameter of 210 mm, which are responsible for precise shaping and compaction of the ridges.

• The ridger allows for working depth adjustment up to 100 mm using a practical support wheel, which permits precise adaptation of the operation to the plant growth stage and soil type—from light to medium-cohesive.

• The use of duckfoot shares and looseners allows for effective weed destruction in the inter-rows and improves soil aeration, which promotes faster root system development and better water absorption.

• Crumbler rollers mounted at the end of each section not only improve the shape of the ridges but also evenly press the soil, reducing its slumping and water evaporation from the surface

• The Norma cultivator / ridger is an indispensable tool in modern, sustainable agriculture—it performs perfectly in both pre-sowing work and the care of plants up to 60 cm tall, allowing for comprehensive crop management throughout the entire season.

• It is a reliable, functional, and highly efficient solution for vegetable and ridged crop producers who seek tools with high operational precision, high durability, and a wide range of applications.
