Weeding tools are used for shallow mechanical crop care down to a depth of 5 cm, offering a wide range of options.
The FLEXCARE row crop cultivator is designed so that the tools can be exchanged quickly at any time.
The shares themselves are guided by a spring hoe. This makes it possible to set individual shares to work higher or lower. In practice, the shares mounted in the centre of the hoe element tend to be set lower. The spring hoe causes the tools to oscillate, so the machine is easier to pull and the soil crumbles better.
The universal tool on the FLEXCARE V. Its working width of 140 mm ensures maximum flexibility of use.
With angled leg
Legs that can be mounted facing inwards or outwards

With straight leg
160 mm for row spacing starting from 45 cm

Hoeing with weeding blades at an early stage of growth moves the flow of soil away from the row of plants and effectively prevents them from being covered with soil. When hoeing at a later stage of growth, the share is turned the other way so that it actively moves the soil towards the row of plants.
Use for row spacing from 45 cm – 80 cm
Plant protection discs cannot be used
For ridging within the row of plants: With some crops, such as soybeans and maize, weeds can be very well regulated in the row by covering them with soil.
This requires 160 mm or 180 mm duck foot shares with a straight leg
Clamp mounting on the share leg
45 cm – 80 cm row spacing
