Detailed description:

• The potato weeder/ridger with the Noctu profiling attachment is a versatile, strong machine designed for modern holdings specialising in growing potatoes and vegetables that require ridging.
• Its main task is not only to form ridges effectively, but also to control weeds mechanically and to improve the soil structure between the plants, which translates into better growing conditions for the crops and higher yields.
• The vegetable weeder is adapted for working on two crop rows at the same time, which significantly increases working efficiency in the field.
• Standards with flexible spring tines have been mounted on the first bar of the main frame; they loosen the soil between the rows gently but effectively without damaging the plants.
• Such a solution promotes better aeration of the soil and makes water infiltration easier, which has a positive effect on the development of the root system.
• The second beam carries stubble tines with coulters and ridging bodies, which form the ridges precisely while at the same time covering the weeds and protecting the potato tubers against light and mechanical damage.
• A Noctu profiling attachment is fitted at the rear of the machine - a key component responsible for giving the ridges a uniform, lasting shape and for limiting excessive penetration of the tines, which makes it possible to maintain an even working depth.
• Thanks to its weight of 285 kg the machine sits firmly on the ground, which translates into even and precise operation even on more difficult soils.
• The required power demand is only 28 kW (38 HP), which makes it ideal for medium-sized farms operating smaller tractors.
• A further advantage of the ridger is its modular construction, which allows easy adjustment of the working elements and adaptation of the machine to different row widths and soil conditions.
• As a result, the machine can be used not only in potato growing, but also in the care of other ridge-grown crops such as carrots, celeriac or onions.
• The weeder/ridger with the Noctu attachment is an indispensable implement for every vegetable grower who values quality, output and precision in cultivation.
