Detailed description:

• The five-section weeder-ridger with Norma cage rollers is an advanced, multi-functional maintenance implement intended for growing potatoes, root crops and ridge-grown vegetables such as carrots, onions and beet, and also for use in growing maize and strawberries.
• The machine makes it possible to work four rows at the same time, which considerably speeds up agrotechnical operations, reduces the number of passes and limits soil compaction, something of key importance for the development of the plants.
• Thanks to the adjustable row spacing in the range from 625 to 750 mm, the ridger can easily be adapted to different crop configurations, which means the unit performs very well both in field crops and on more specialised vegetable farms.
• Despite its solid construction, the total weight of the machine is only 350 kg, which provides a good balance between stability and mobility, making it possible to work on fields with varying degrees of moisture and soil structure.
• A tractor with an output of 35 kW (48 HP) is enough to operate the implement, which makes the machine accessible to a wide group of users – both on smaller and on medium-sized farms.
• The vegetable weeder is fitted with a working set consisting of light spring tines, goosefoot points, looseners, ridging coulters and cage rollers with a diameter of 210 mm, which are responsible for accurately forming and firming the ridges.
• The ridger allows the working depth to be adjusted up to 100 mm by means of a practical support wheel, which makes it possible to match the work precisely to the growth stage of the plants and to the soil type – from light to medium-heavy soils.
• The use of goosefoot points and loosening tines makes it possible to destroy weeds between the rows effectively and to improve soil aeration, which promotes faster development of the root system of the plants and better water uptake.
• The cage rollers fitted at the end of each section not only improve the shape of the ridges but also press the soil down evenly, limiting it from crumbling away and reducing water evaporation from the surface.
• The Norma weeder/ridger is an indispensable implement in modern, sustainable agriculture - it performs excellently both in pre-sowing work and in the maintenance of plants up to 60 cm high, allowing comprehensive care of crops throughout the season.
• This is a reliable, functional and highly effective solution for growers of vegetables and ridge-grown crops who are looking for implements offering great precision of operation, high durability and a wide range of applications.
