KUHN’s range of mechanical weeding tools expands!

KUHN expands its range of mechanical weeding tools with the introduction of the STARLINER rotary hoe, designed to offer optimal performance while respecting sustainable agricultural practices.

Braking up crusts without effort. The STARLINER rotary hoe is a mechanical weeding tool that uproots young weeds present in crops. Equipped with rotating stars, it eliminates crusts and crumbles the earth, thus improving aeration and mineralization of the soil. Suitable for winter and spring crops such as cereals, corn and soybeans, the STARLINER rotary hoe is also ideal for direct-seeded or no-till crops. Its stars, pre-tensioned by torsion springs, allow working speeds of 12 to 25 kph, ensuring high work output.

Effective weeding. Individually suspended rotating stars are designed to provide durability and optimal work results. Each star operates autonomously, which improves the quality of work. Heavy-duty brackets withstand extreme loads, ensuring a long service life. With a spacing of 10 cm between the stars and 1.8 cm wide spoons, they ensure the surface is fully worked, effectively eliminating weeds.

Spoon-shaped star ends. The wear-resistant, spoon-shaped ends of the stars break and crumble slaking crusts. They can be easily replaced individually in case of wear. Their rear-facing design lifts the first centimetres of soil and uproots weeds, which fall gently to the ground, encouraging their drying and limiting any risk of regrowth.

Optimising performances. For optimal performance, the rotating stars exert a constant pressure thanks to torsion springs, ensuring effective tracking even in very encrusted soils. The aggressiveness of the STARLINER rotary hoe depends on the height adjustment of the gauge wheels and the ground speed.

The STARLINER rotary hoe is available this year, providing farmers with an efficient and sustainable solution for crop weeding.
