Detailed description:

• The five-section potato ridger is a modern and versatile implement designed for the intensive growing of ridge-grown vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, onions, celeriac or beetroot on medium-sized and larger farms.
• Thanks to its light yet solid construction and its precise work, the implement performs well in both conventional and organic production systems, guaranteeing high-quality crop care operations.
• The weeder-ridger makes it possible to work as many as four crop rows at once, which translates into a considerable reduction in time spent in the field, fewer passes, lower fuel consumption and less compaction of the soil.
• The adjustable row spacing within a range from 625 to 750 mm means that the ridger can easily be adapted to various plant species and inter-row widths, which makes it an exceptionally flexible tool in everyday work.
• The relatively low own weight of 175 kg makes the machine easier to manoeuvre even in more demanding ground conditions, as well as when working on smaller plots or in row crops with limited manoeuvring space.
• The ridger also performs excellently in orchards, tunnel crops and on fields with an irregular surface, offering great precision of operation and simplicity of use.
• A tractor with an output of 35 kW (48 HP) is enough for effective work, which means the machine can operate with the popular tractors used on medium-sized vegetable holdings.
• The sturdy yet simple design ensures reliable operation, easy maintenance and quick replacement of working parts such as tine legs, coulters or ridging bodies.
• These elements have been made of durable, abrasion-resistant materials, which guarantees a long service life for the equipment and resistance to intensive use in varied soil conditions.
• The weeder/ridger allows precise adjustment of the working depth - up to 100 mm - which makes it possible to carry out maintenance work effectively both before emergence and in later stages of plant growth, without the risk of damaging their root system.
• Thanks to its well-thought-out design and wide range of adjustment options, the weeder / ridger is perfectly suited to managing a variety of ridge crops, ensuring their healthy growth and effective protection against weed infestation.
• It is an indispensable tool for farmers who value precision, output and versatility – regardless of the field conditions or the type of crop.
