Function of the implement

The three-point mounting frame connects the implement to the tractor or to an optionally available sliding frame. The three-point mounting frame also carries the front lighting and the front identification for road travel.

The hydraulically folding implement slide rail carries the three-point mounting frame, the rear lighting and the rear identification for road travel, the camera bracket, the parking supports, and the support wheels or stabilisation discs. The hydraulically folding implement slide rail also carries the hoe units, which consist of the parallelograms and various special equipment.

The stabilisation discs prevent the transfer of forces onto the tractor and keep the implement in the track.

The parallelograms precisely guide the depth of the hoeing shares.

The hoeing tools on the parallelograms cut the weeds just below the soil surface and deposit them at the surface to desiccate.

The hoe protection discs prevent the crops from being damaged or buried when hoeing.

The finger hoes remove weeds on the crop rows.

When cultivating ridge crops, the ridge cutting discs shave off the weeds on the ridge flanks.

The ridging tools pile up the soil on the plant rows, taking away the light that the weeds require to grow and providing the crops with additional warmth and growth stimulus. When cultivating ridge crops, the ridging discs and the share ridgers build up the ridges after the ridge cutting discs have shaved off the weeds.

The tine weeders crumble the soil and deposit cut-off plant residues on the soil surface.

During the hoeing procedure, the band sprayer applies crop protection products on the crop plant rows.

Alternatively, the band sprayer applies liquid fertiliser in the plant rows during the hoeing procedure.

When using a sliding frame, the row sensor generates the control pulses for the row guidance of the implement instead of a camera system.
