Cage-Weeder

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The Cage-Weeder by K.U.L.T. Kress Umweltschonende Landtechnik GmbH represents a novel approach to mechanical weed control, recognized with an award at the Agritechnica-Show. It is particularly effective in early growth stages for various crops, including vegetables, special crops, medicinal and spice plants, as well as field crops like sugar beets and sunflowers.

Design and Functionality
The machine features two weeding cages that rotate in an adjustable depth of 1-4 cm between plant rows. The front cage drives the rear one, loosening the soil and removing weeds without side pressure, eliminating the need for row protection. It is adaptable for mounting on any standard tractor, either in front, rear, or between the axles, and can be quickly adjusted for different working and row widths.

Attachment and Operation
The Cage-Weeder can be attached to any common tool-carrier, providing good visibility of plant rows even at high speeds. For larger working widths, a maintenance-free chain-drive is mounted on both sides. It can also be used to prepare seed or plant beds across the entire space.

Catalog excerpts

With this machine KRESS & CO had given a total new idea to mechanical weed control. The absolutely new principle of effect and construction received the award for new inventions on the Agritechnica-Show. This new method of weed control and soil loosening works particularly very effective in early stadiums. The machine is good for all row crops particularly for vegetable, special crops, medicinal and spice plants, but also for field crops like sugar beets, sunflowers etc. Two weeding cages in a row rotate in a adjustable depth of 1 - 4 cm in driving direction between the plant rows. The cage in front drives the rear one and also loosens the soil downwards. The second cage crumbles the soil and removes soil from the weed The ground driven machine is suitable for every standard tractor to mount in front, rear or between the axles. The modular concept allows quick mounting and adjusting to different working and row width. The total new tool construction causes no side pressure, therefore there is no need for row protection. Even seeded cultures can be hoed in very early stadium . K.U.L.T. Kress Umweltschonende Landtechnik GmbH - www.kress-landtechnik.de – Technical innovation in line with nature
