Detailed description:
- The 7-row ridger is a high-output agricultural implement designed for intensive inter-row care in potato crops.
- Thanks to its working width of 4500 mm, the machine makes it possible to ridge as many as seven ridges at once, significantly increasing working efficiency and reducing the time needed for agronomic operations.
- The machine is built around a cat. II 3-point linkage hitch and is designed to work with tractors of class 0.9.
- The mounted ridger, with a length of 1036 mm, a height of 985 mm and an overall width of 4500 mm, weighs 180 kg, which ensures stability during work even on uneven ground.
- A transport clearance of 300 mm makes it possible to move the machine safely from field to field at speeds of up to 25 km/h.
- Fitted with 7 ridging bodies, 7 goosefoot points and 14 small coulters, the ridger provides even forming of ridges with a row spacing from 620 to 700 mm and a maximum working depth of up to 150 mm.
- Thanks to such a configuration, it is possible not only to ridge up the soil, but also to loosen it effectively, which improves the growing conditions for potatoes and limits weed growth.
- The working output of the machine ranges from 2.25 to 3.6 ha/h at a working speed of 5–8 km/h, which makes it an ideal solution for medium and large farms.
- What is more, the ridger can serve as a weeding unit - once the ridging bodies are replaced with goosefoot points it becomes an implement for mechanical weed control between rows.
- Thanks to its ability to work on ground with a gradient of up to 22%, this model copes well in varied field conditions.
- This is a reliable and versatile machine that significantly improves crop care work in potato growing.
- The 7-row ridger is the largest of the available variants – the range also includes 3- and 5-row versions, which allows the machine to be matched to the individual needs of the farm.
