Adjustable FLEXCARE parameters
Settings on the machine can be adjusted to handle different operating conditions. Many of the settings can be made without the need for tools.
Different duck foot shares, weeding blades and following tools allow the machine to be optimised to the operating conditions. Various control systems ensure the best working results.
Different row crop cultivation effects can be achieved using FLEXCARE hoeing technology.
Cutting: The leaves are completely separated from the root system. The plant stops growing as a result. The root system perishes - the leaves dry out.
Overturning: The weeds are covered with soil. Photosynthesis is prevented by the lack of sunlight so that the weeds perish.
Breaking up incrustations: The vibrating movement of the cultivation tools effectively breaks up incrustations.
Parallelogram mountings ensures that the set working depth is maintained consistently and precisely.
To ensure the best working results, hydraulic adjustment of the ground pressure of all tools is available as an option.
Even in difficult conditions, the FLEXCARE row crop cultivator offers an impressive range of adjustment possibilities.
All the hoe elements are arranged in a single row to achieve a narrow hoeing band and minimise the potential space for weeds. This means that even very young crops can be hoed reliably and precisely. A hoe bandwidth of between 5 and 10 cm is possible using the optional camera steering system.
Inter-row & intra-row
During hoeing, it is important to define where the tools work. Inter-row stands for hoeing between crop rows, using duck foot shares and weeding blades. Intra-row stands for hoeing between plants within one row.
Finger hoes and ridging shares are used for this purpose.
