The rotary hoe has advantages in winter cereals especially in spring.

  • It performs better in damp conditions than the tine harrows

  • The highly effective action of breaking up incrustations ensures good aeration and drainage of the topsoil

  • In addition, mechanical cultivation promotes tillering
