Orchard rotary hoe SI 2 series

for vineyards

The first version of the rotary hoe with sensing device SI 2 series was designed forty years ago for simultaneously working the soil both between each plant and also between the rows of plants in vineyards, orchards, olive groves and generally with any other crops grown in raised rows. The central, fixed mechanical hoe supports a small, automatic weeder hoe at the back (with a special, oil-bath cardan transmission), controlled by the height and sensitivity adjustment sensor. The particularly sensitive, precision sensor is delicate enough to permit weeding without any damage to plants, even very young ones. Minimum space between plants 80 cm.
