Detailed description:

• The Noctu potato weeder/ridger is a modern and solid machine created with intensive cultivation of potatoes and ridge-grown vegetables on larger farms in mind.
• This machine combines the functions of forming ridges, mechanical weeding and improving soil structure, which considerably affects the quality of crops and increases yields.
• Equipped with the ability to work four rows at once, the ridger significantly increases work output compared with smaller models.
• Stanchions with spring tines have been mounted on the first frame bar; they effectively loosen the soil between the rows, working gently and without disturbing the structure of the crops.
• Such a solution allows better aeration of the soil and makes water penetration easier, which promotes strong development of the root system.
• The second beam carries 13 stubble tines with coulters and 5 ridging bodies, which are responsible for forming stable ridges while at the same time burying weeds and protecting the potato tubers against light and mechanical damage.
• The increased weight of the vegetable weeder, amounting to 570 kg, ensures excellent machine stability during work even on heavier or uneven soils.
• With a power requirement of the order of 44 kW (60 HP), the ridger performs superbly alongside medium and higher power tractors, ensuring smooth and effective operation.
• The ridger also stands out for its modular construction, which allows easy adjustment of the working settings depending on the row spacing and the character of the soil.
• Thanks to its versatility it can be used not only when growing potatoes but also in the care of other ridge crops such as carrots, celeriac, onions or beetroot.
• This versatile implement is an excellent choice for professional growers who set store by output, reliability and precision of work in difficult field conditions.
