In addition to weed management, the ROTOCARE can also be deployed for numerous other applications. The rotary hoe is also suitable for breaking up encrusted soil, incorporating fertiliser, applying various seed materials, and shallow stubble cultivation. The wide range of applications increases the flexibility of the machine as well as its utilisation.
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.
Working intensity and ground pressure are adjusted using the top link.
The working depth is adjusted using the depth control wheels and the top link position.
When used in row crops, the track width of the depth control wheels can be adjusted to the row spacing; mechanically as standard or hydraulically as an option.
The driving speed has a decisive influence on the working results and the intensity of the weeding tools (slow = aggressive; fast = gentle).
2 top link and 3 lower linkage coupling points are available for different tractor geometries.
