Detailed description:
- The 5-row ridger is an efficient and reliable agricultural implement, created with the care of potato crops between the rows in mind.
- Thanks to its solid, mounted construction and large working width, the machine performs excellently when forming ridges, earthing up plants and loosening the soil, which has a significant effect on the quality and rate of growth of seed potatoes - especially in manually tended crops.
- The machine works with class 0.6 tractors equipped with a cat. II 3-point linkage hitch.
- Its working width is as much as 3000 mm, which combined with a working speed of 5 to 8 km/h delivers a high output of 1.5–2.4 ha/h.
- The ridger retains compact dimensions and high mobility thanks to a transport clearance of 300 mm and a weight of 150 kg, which guarantees stability and working comfort even on more difficult ground.
- The equipment of the machine includes 5 ridging bodies, 5 goosefoot points and 10 small coulters, which ensures even and effective operation in cultivated inter-rows from 620 to 700 mm wide.
- The working depth reaches up to 150 mm, making it possible to form ridges accurately and earth up the plants.
- The ridger can also act as a weeding machine – it is enough to fit goosefoot points in place of the ridging bodies, which makes it a multifunctional implement.
- Thanks to a design adapted to work on ground with a gradient of up to 22%, the implement can be used in varied field conditions.
- A transport speed of up to 25 km/h allows the machine to be moved quickly between fields without having to dismantle it.
- The ridger is also available in 3- and 7-row versions, which makes it possible to match the model to the size of the farm and the specific nature of the crops.
- This is an excellent solution for farmers looking for an effective and universal tool for potato crop care.
