Harrow Weeder

The Steketee Harrow Weeder

Harrowing is a one of the oldest means of controlling weeds. With the flexible Steketee harrow weeders with vibrating spring-tines one drives through the crop with high speed. The purpose is to detach young emerging seed-propagated weeds, drop them somewhere else and let them dry out. Other weeds get covered with ground and suffocate. The soil is superficially loosened to a certain extent as well.
This form of weed control can be applied in winter grains, summer grains, peas, maize, potatoes, sugar beet, field beans, etc. After weeding where the hard top soil is loosed first, one also obtains the best results when the seed-propagating weeds are still very young and the weather is sunny and dry.

The Steketee harrow weeders are equipped with long, thin and flexible cultivatior tines. With this machine high speeds can be made: the higher the speed, the better the effect. The user is in control of the soil cultivation intensity.

With a Steketee weeding machine in the front lift and the Steketee harrow weeder in the rear lift a highly effective weed control results.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next to our own harrow weeder we import the Treffler harrow weeder. This harrow weeder is unique for allowing the tine pressure to be hydraulically controlled from the tractor. Another point is the constancy of the of the full spring trajectory tine pressure. This makes the machine specially suited for ridge cultivation.
