The EC-Ridger is suitable for all crops grown on ridges with 75 cm row distance, like potatoes and carrots, also in later growing stages.
The working principle of the EC-Ridger consists of three to five steps: Optionally, the subsoiler cultivates the soil between the ridges. Then the hoeing discs cut the weeds from the sides of the ridge and the spring tines loosen the soil between the ridges. At the end of the process, the earthing-up rebuilds the ridge back into its shape. Optionally, a metal plate protects the crop leaves from damage.
-Working width up to 6 m
-Driving speed up to 8 km/h
-Row distance 75 cm
-Automatic & manual steering systems
COMPONENTS
SUBSOILER
The optional subsoiler loosens the soil between the ridges and supports the water drainage. The working depth can be individually adjusted.
TRS-ELEMENT
The heavy one: The TRS-Element is well suited for severe conditions. Therefore it is used in the EC-Ridger machines for earthing-up shares and other heavy tools.
HOEING DISCS
The hoeing discs cut the weeds from the sides of the ridges, the cutting angle and the width can be easily adjusted to fit the ridge.
SPRING TINES WITH SHARES
The spring tines with shares loosen the soil between the ridges.
EARTHING-UP SHARES
The earthing-up share rebuilds the ridge back into its shape. The angel can be adjusted to fit the ridge and to control the compactness of the ridge.
EARTHING-UP DISC
Instead of the earthing-up share, it is also possible to use earthing-up discs. They are especially suitable for wet conditions and certain soils.
