4 rows on bed system We start with a universal Steketee Basic-Element. This Basic-Element can be attached anywhere on a toolbar. For depth adjustment, the element is provided with a wheel with a pneumatic tyre, size 260x85. The working depth of the attached weeding knives or tines is easily adjusted by means of a crank. The penetration depth can be adjusted by increasing or descreasing the spring pressure on the element. Many different weeding knives and implements can be attached to the Basic-Element. The robust construction of the element with parallel guide-links, provided with Iglidur...

Another option is to use a fixed knife in tandem with 2 side knives instead of protective discs. This allows for very effective weed management. Quite a different way of weeding is weeding with S-shaped tines. A Steketee weeding knife is attached to the tines. This weeding knife has a special shape, which allows loosening the weeds even when working in shallow earth. A combination of a fixed knife and S-shaped tines. Protective shields are attached to the side of the element. They protect the plant along its entire length against the loosened earth. This is an example of the L-blades...

Combi-Element in maize mounted on toolbar type C As the name suggests, this hoeing element is a combination of the smaller Basic-Element and the larger TRS-Element. This element is particularly suitable for row distances from 20 to 80 cm, under light to medium-heavy conditions. The crop passage is always 70 cm high. All elements are made with a paralellogram provided with maintenance free ball bearings, guaranteeing a long life span and high precision. The FarmFlex wheel combined with the depth spindle provided with trapezium thread will ensure optimum depth adjustment. This depth...

Combi-Element Hydraulic element Combi-Element with 5 cultivation tines Hydraulic cylinder for lift and push adjustment. Touch screen operation Short version with 3 fixed blades Lifting tool Short version with 1 blade and small protecting discs Combi-Element with hydraulic lifting system

For crops with a larger row distance, we recommend the TRS-Element. This large hoeing element is special designed for the most demanding conditions. Therefore the working depth is controlled by a farmflex wheel 300x100mm, the knives are mounted in a very strong bar section and the element is suitable with big S-tines. Of course all standard Steketee tools like ´A´ blades, finger weeders, ridging elements, protection discs etc. can be combined in the TRS-Element. Version with 3 ´A´ blades mounted in a Vibro Knife holder. The middle weeder is in the centre of the element. The other ´A´ blades...

Finger weeder For intra-row weed control - Easily mountable - Easily replaceable - Adjustable in length - Adjustable in width - Adjustable in height The Steketee finger weeder is specially designed to control small and just emerged weeds in the crop row. In-crop mechanical weeding (by means of weeder blades, cultivation tines, ridger blades, etc) is a long standing practice. But a much higher percentage of the land can be mechanically cleaned from weeds with the finger weeder in combination with a weeder element. The finger weeder consists of a turning disc with flexible fingers on it....

Disc weeding machine Disc Weeding Machine The Steketee Disc weeding machine is the ideal machine for all crops grown on ridges between furrows. The Disc weeding machine consists of the Basic-Element with a knife holder. The knife holder holds a weeding knife. The knife holder also has an infinitely adjustable set of discs. The knife cuts the weeds at the bottom of the crop row. The discs remove the weeds on the sides of the ridges. the height and the angle of these hollow discs are infinitely adjustable. Accurate weeding on raised narrow beds with depth wheels fitted with protection discs...

Ridger The Ridger is used to free crop from weed and rebuild the bed. The ridger machine will allow you to treat all crops on beds. It is fairly easy to set up the machine. Each ridging tool is mounted to a Basic-Element and the amount of soil can be adapted by means of a spindle. Tractor tracks or connecting rows are no longer a problem. The machine can be made with subsoilers at the front of the ridger. The subsoilers can be attached as an option for better drainage. For the sides of the beds, there are cultivation tines on the elements to loosen the soil. The ridging body is the last...
