Finger Weeder

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. These flexible fingers turn in between the crop row and destroy smaller weeds. It is also possible to replace the disc with flexible fingers with a disc with brush fingers. The finger weeder is specially made for mounting on the Steketee weeding element but can also be mounted on another weeder element without effort. The depth and width control can be infinitely adjusted for a higher or lower operation intensity. Also, both mounting the finger weeder fixed and hinged are possible. For 25 to 40 cm row intervals a smaller rotor can be supplied.

The Steketee finger weeder is suitable for weeding with high speeds. The stable bearing by means of ball bearings renders a high rotational speed unproblematic. The rubber fingers are available in various diameters. For example, a 340 mm and 400 mm rotor blade diameter can be selected. The versions with brush fingers can only be supplied with a 340 mm diameter.

A smaller rotor can be selected for smaller row intervals. This can be supplied with rubber finger discs with a 220 mm diameter. Optionally to be supplied with brush fingers.
