Description:

Steketee inter row cultivator-weeder

Steketee inter row cultivator. Inter row cultivator with 4 rows and 5 elements with fingerweeders. 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
