Because each rotary star is mounted individually on a 8.5 mm spring, the machine can adapt to uneven terrain. The ROTOCARE rotary hoe offers excellent reliability because each rotary star is able to ride up over any obstacle. Thanks to the depth control wheels being mounted close to the frame, the machine tracks the ground perfectly. The wheels are height-adjustable using lock pins and can be adapted to the position of the top link.
Wear-resistant, self-sharpening spoon points with a width of 18 mm ensure an even, clean and tidy working pattern. The optimum working angle protects the crop but pulls out fine weeds. The soil is moved to a maximum depth of 40 mm. The forged arms are mounted on precision-fit bushings to ensure that the star spacing of 89 mm is consistently maintained.
The row-independent rotary hoe stars sweep weeds in the white thread, germination and 1-leaf stage out of the soil and deposit them on the surface. The rolling effect protects the crop and minimises plant losses. The driving speed determines the aggressiveness of the treatment - the higher the speed, the lower the actual working depth and the gentler the process.
540 mm stars with 16 wear-resistant spoon points conserve the soil. Each rotary hoe star is mounted individually to ensure optimum ground tracking across the whole width of the machine.
8.5 mm springs
Up to 20 kg pressure per star possible
The rotary hoe stars are positioned at an offset of 105 mm. Together with a star spacing of 89 mm, a high level of reliability is ensured even with surface organic matter.
