Experience the benefit of the Einböck row crop cultivators

High costs for herbicides and the increased economic pressure in agriculture lead to new ways of thinking: not only organic farmers consider mechanic weed control as being attractive – also conventional operations benefit from state of the art row crop cultivation to improve economic competitiveness, boost effectiveness and yields.

Economic weed control builds the base for economic production of beets, corn, pumpkins, soya, etc. The Einböck row crop cultivation technology brings strong growth, higher yields, nitrogen mobilization and optimum weed control.

The cultivator CHOPSTAR has spring tines with the flat shares which cut all of the weeds between the rows. Depending on the number of tines the CHOPSTAR can be used for crops with row spacing of 25 to 150 cm (9.8 – 59 inch).

The star-like discs of the ROLLSTAR are most suitable for light soils to crumble the soil and pull out weeds. As the stars can be pivoted horizontally and vertically, the soil flow can be directed towards or away from the crop, just as small hills can be maintained.

The HILLSTAR is a ridger for hill-crops. With its large concave discs the machine is used to push soil up in hill-crops.

The new camera steering system ROW GUARD guides row crop cultivators with absolute precision, even at high speeds. Increased working accuracy, efficient weed control and extremely high operating speeds of up to 15 km/h (depending on the conditions in the field) are among the biggest advantages of the system.

Intelligent solutions like automatic-mechanic steering on rear mounted, close position of the hoe to the front linkage on front mounted or the new ROW GUARD on all hoes ensure high speed operation in all circumstances (higher 10 km/h). This leads to high productivity. A cultivation right before canopying of the crop can replace the last spraying operation in conventional farms and helps to reduce costs.

Another positive effect of hoeing is the breaking of crusts, in the same run also of the capillary action, the soil is aerated and growth is supported. Nutrient activation by microorganisms and regulation of the water balance are positive side effects when using the Einböck CHOPSTAR. The finger weeders allow efficient and crop-protecting weed control in the row. An increased yield and therefore higher profit margins are the result.
