With this machine K.U.L.T.-Kress had given a total new idea to mechanical weed control.
The absolutely new principle of effect and construction received the award for new inventions on the Agritechnica-Show. This new method of weed control and soil loosening works particularly effectively in early stages.
The machine is good for all row crops, particularly for vegetable, special crops, medicinal and spice plants, as well as for field crops like sugar beets, sunflowers etc.
Two weeding cages in a row with an adjustable depth of 0,4” – 1,5 “ /1 - 4 cm work between the plant rows. The cage in front drives the rear one and also loosens the soil surface . The second cage crumbles the soil and removes soil from the weeds.
The ground driven machine is suitable for every standard tractor to mount in front, rear or between the axles. The modular concept allows quick mounting and adjusting to different working and row width.
The totally l new tool construction has no side pressure, therefore there is no need for row protection. Even direct seeded crops can be worked in very early stages. Sliding adjustment of elements provides fast and optimum adaptation to different row spacings and widths.
The Kress Cage-Weeder can be attached at every common Tool-Carrier
For larger working widths, the maintenance-free chain-drive is mounted on both side.
Attachment in front gives a good view of the plant row, even at high speed.
Objective of use |
Early weeding without pushing the crust, with high efficiency |
Range of use |
|
Operating principle |
The first tool (slower rotation ) breaks the soil without pushing, the second tool (faster rotation) loosens the soil and removes the weeds. |
