Detailed description:

• The three-section potato ridger is a compact and versatile tool which will perform excellently on farms geared towards growing vegetables that require ridges to be formed – including potatoes, carrots, onions, beetroot and celeriac.
• Thanks to its lightweight construction and precise operation, it can be successfully used both on conventional and on organic farms.
• The agricultural machine has been created for cultivating two rows at the same time, which considerably speeds up field work and reduces the number of passes, thereby cutting fuel consumption and limiting soil compaction.
• Thanks to the adjustable row spacing in the range from 625 to 750 mm, the ridger gives the user great flexibility in adapting it to the specific requirements of the crops – both when it comes to different plant species and to the individual agronomic techniques used on the farm.
• The low mass of the machine, amounting to only 105 kg, ensures ease of transport and exceptional manoeuvrability when working on small or hard-to-reach plots.
• The ridger will work perfectly in orchards, in polytunnels, on sloping ground and on soils with limited bearing capacity.
• The machine does not require much power – a tractor with an output of 22 kW (30 HP) is enough for it to work properly, which makes it an excellent choice for owners of smaller single-axle tractors, orchard tractors and vehicles used in organic crop production and home vegetable gardens.
• The potato weeder is distinguished by a simple yet solid design, which considerably facilitates its operation, maintenance and servicing.
• The working parts - such as the legs, coulters and ridging bodies - have been made from high-quality abrasion-resistant materials, which guarantees a long service life for the equipment even under intensive use.
• The weeder / ridger allows the settings to be adjusted quickly, which makes it easy to match the working parameters to changing field conditions.
• As a result the ridger can be used both for pre-sowing work and for maintenance work – for example after crop emergence – effectively improving the soil structure, limiting the growth of weeds and protecting the root system of the crop.
• This is a practical, economical and exceptionally helpful tool which, thanks to its precision, light weight and versatility, is widely used in modern agriculture, supporting the efficient and sustainable management of ridge-grown crops.
