Ridger Ridge 2

Specific front attachment for ridging by removing the earth from the inter-row and placing it at the bottom of the plant or clearing weeds from the furrow.

 

The Ridge 2 dynamic ridger is different from a rotary hoe and generally works on previously tilled fields.

Both working depth (through the little front wheel) and working width (through ridge upper wings) can be adjusted.

It is the ideal attachment in the horticulture sector for reinforcing orchards that need this operation (onions, fennel, potatoes, tomatoes, cassava, etc.) or for cleaning the furrow from weeds, increasing the soil’s permeability.

It is a specific professional attachment for two-wheel tractors but can also be applied to motor mowers with a power of at least 7.5 hp.
