Pottinger is now offering rotary hoes, constant pressure hoes and vario hoes to cover the mechanical crop care segment. For decades, increasing yields have been ensured and achieved by using chemical crop protection. However, due to increasing resistance and the use of integrated plant protection, conventional thinking is evolving.
The new Rotocare rotary hoe conserves the crop and is row-independent while delivering maximum output and low wear. In addition to its advantages for mechanical weed control, the machine is equipped for a wide range of other applications such as incorporating fertiliser and aerating grassland. The models are available with working widths between 6.6–12.4m and benefit from low pulling power requirements.
The Tinecare constant pressure hoe combines top working results with high output. In addition to a patented compression spring system and large depth control wheels, the machine has a high strength frame with optimum weight distribution. Working widths of 6.2–12.2m enable maximum outputs for the highest performance and efficiency.
The new Flexcare vario hoe offers full flexibility in a variety of crops. The row spacing, working width of the hoe elements and the fine alterations of the finger hoe are completely adjustable without the need for tools. In conjunction with the hydraulic shift frame, optional implement steering using a camera is available for even more precise work. The vario hoes are available with working widths of 4.7–9.0m.
