Adjusting the height of the hoe protection discs HSZ

Adjustment of the height depends on the growth stage and size of the crops at the time of the hoeing pass:

  • For younger or small crops, the hoe protection discs must be adjusted such that each hoe protection disc has contact with and is driven by the ground during hoeing operation.

  • For older or larger crops, the hoe protection discs must be adjusted such that each hoe protection disc also has contact with and is driven by the leaves of the crops during hoeing operation.
