In addition to its advantages in mechanical weed control, the machine is equipped for a wide range of other applications: For instance, for breaking up the surface of the soil, for incorporating fertiliser, and for shallow stubble cultivation.
The rotary hoe can be used to cultivate row crops such as maize or soybeans as well as broad and narrow seeds such as cereals where a row-independent process is needed. The intensity must be adapted to the stage of development of the crop. The better established the crop, the more aggressive the working method that can be chosen.
The high under-frame clearance of 500 mm ensures maximum reliability. When used after harvesting, high volumes of organic matter are no problem for the rotary hoe. Clogging of the machine is avoided by the single row configuration of the rotary hoe stars with an offset of 105 mm.
Thanks to the underframe clearance and its gentle operation, the ROTOCARE can also be used in well-developed crops, such as maize plants up to 30 cm high or oil seed rape up to 20 cm in height.
