Used Inter row cultivators

About second-hand Inter row cultivators

Hoe machines are used in arable farming, vegetable cultivation, and horticulture. The hoe machine mechanically and biologically keeps the crops free from weeds. The advantage of a hoe bar is that it effectively combats larger, deep-rooted weeds.

The hoes cut the weeds about 1 to 2 centimeters below the ground. In addition to the hoes, elements such as fingers or harrows can be mounted to remove weeds more extensively or effectively. Hillers can also push loose soil towards the crop row.

ADJUSTING USEDINTER ROW CULTIVATORS

For optimal results, always work with sharp blades. The optimal working depth of a hoe is about 1 to 2 centimeters. The depth of the hoes in relation to the walking wheel determines this working depth. On light soil, little pressure on the parallelograms is necessary. The heavier the soil, the more spring pressure is needed to maintain the hoe at the correct depth. Therefore, adjust the spring tension according to the soil structure. The adjustment options depend on the type of parallelogram.

Most hoe machines have a travel speed between 4 and 7 kilometers per hour. With the presence of a steering system, such as a camera, this speed can increase to 15 kilometers per hour.

ROW SPACING OF THE INTER ROW CULTIVATORS

The row spacing, i.e., the distance between the rows, of a inter row cultivator is usually easy to adjust to the desired working width. Inter row cultivators wider than 3 meters often have a hydraulic folding system for road transport.

The row spacing is often adjustable according to your needs, but there are limits. When purchasing a inter row cultivators, pay attention to how much row spacing you require. If you are unsure which used inter row cultivators is most suitable for you, feel free to contact one of our experts.

It is also a trend to equip tractors with GPS guidance to enable hoeing and other operations with high precision and speed.

AUTOMATIC HOE MACHINES WITH CAMERA GUIDANCE

Automatic hoeing machines with camera guidance, such as the models from Ferrari and Steketee, make it possible to efficiently and effectively keep crops weed-free. These advanced machines use cameras and intelligent image recognition technology to accurately identify the crops. The heart of these hoe machines is the camera mounted at the front of the machine. This camera continuously scans the field and analyzes the images to identify the plants. Through advanced algorithms and pattern recognition, the camera can distinguish between desired vegetable plants and weeds.

There are two different types of automatic hoeing machines: machines that recognize the plant row and hoe close to the row, and machines that can also hoe between the plants within the rows.

The first type of camera-guided hoe machine has the advantage that the hoe blades can be placed closer to the plants, and higher speeds can be achieved. A camera-guided hoe machine is, for example, ideal for crops with a small spacing between plants in the row, such as onions and leeks.

The second type of automatic hoe machine has foldable blades that can hoe between the plants within the row. This allows for weed removal over an even larger area. This type of automatic hoe machine, such as those from Ferrari and Steketee, can be set for crops with a larger spacing within the row, such as lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts.

HOE MACHINES FOR TREE NURSERIES

If you are looking for a mechanical way to control weeds in your nursery or if your current hoe machine needs replacement, a used hoe machine is a smart choice. These machines are not only considerably cheaper than new hoe machines but also often last for years without problems.

What is important is to choose a hoe machine that is suitable for your plants. Hoe machines for nurseries have higher hoeing elements, allowing for sufficient clearance under the hoe without damaging taller plants. You can find all our used machines for nurseries on this page.

ECOLOGICALLY RESPONSIBLE WEED REMOVAL

Agricultural practices that are ecologically responsible are becoming increasingly important as the demand for environmentally friendly products grows. Weed control can be a challenge for organic farmers because they are not allowed to use artificial pesticides. Hoe machines offer a solution as they mechanically remove weeds, eliminating the need for chemical pesticides.
