New Features for FLEXCARE V Row Crop Cultivators
PÖTTINGER machine for mechanical weed control gets an upgrade
From the 2026 season, PÖTTINGER's FLEXCARE V boasts a whole load of new functions. This flexible, versatile machine is ideal for conventional and ecologically operating family-run farms, large farms and contractors. The most important innovation is the pneumatic distribution system, which offers many advantages as an addition to a seed hopper such as Pöttinger’s AMICO front hopper: Fertiliser can be placed as required, nutrient efficiency is increased and processes are combined, therefore reducing the number of passes.
The new optional trailing tine hoe increases the drying reliability of weeds as well as protection against erosion because hoed weeds are shaken out and deposited on the soil surface.
Another new feature on the FLEXCARE V is the optional DURASTAR PLUS duck foot shares with carbide coating. With even better ground penetration, a more robust design and significantly increased replacement intervals they are the right choice for very hard ground.
These new features make Pöttinger’s FLEXCARE V the perfect combination of precision, crop protection and efficient weed control both between and in rows because weeds are overturned, torn out or damaged.
Modular system for state-of-the-art, successful farming
Its uncompromisingly modular design means that row spacing and tools are easy to adjust – no special accessories required! As a result, grain crops, for example, sown 25 cm apart, can be worked with the same equipment – with very little modification – as, say, pumpkins set 160 cm apart. And the free online tool ROW CROP ASSIST makes finding the right configuration child’s play.
The large number of possible combinations makes the FLEXCARE fit for every kind of application. It allows you to optimise your machine utilisation and so increase cost effectiveness.
The FLEXCARE V is perfect for every farm wishing to realise its full potential from precision planting, varied crop rotation or varying row spacings.
