GRIMME GH 2 Eco | Ridging Hiller for mechanical weed control

The potato does not tolerate much "competition" from weeds until the end canopy establishment. For this reason, effective and accurate weed control is necessary to achieve a good yield. Using the 2-, 4-, 6- or 8-row ridging hillers of the series "GH Oeko", it is possible to perform mechanical weed control in crops which are grown on ridges up to the vegetation stage of canopy establishment without further chemical treatments. Weed control is achieved using cutter elements fitted to the frame and parallelograms guided via feeler wheels. Thus, both the left and the right knife adapt themselves to the shape of the ridge independent of each other, so that the weeds on the ridge flanks are always precisely cut. The cutting system actively destroys the weeds and prevents regrowth. On light, dry soils, harrows can also be used instead of cutting blades to care the ridges. For improved water absorption and reduced compaction a loosening harrow can be used on the ridge crown. The single row shaper following the cutting system forms a stable and even ridge. The blade-elements can be lifted. This means the ridging hiller option "Eco" can be changed to a conventional ridging hiller, which combines two machines in one basic machine. ___________________________________ ► Don't miss out on our releases.
