PROPER SOIL ENVIRONMENT AND A PATH TO HIGHER YIELDS

The ROW-MASTER RN_S cultivator is designed for weeding inter-rows, removing the soil crust, eliminating the growth of weeds, and creating a proper soil climate in sugar beet crop. The cultivator can be easily adjusted for an inter-row spacing of 17.7-19.7 inches and equipped with various equipment to adjust to the specific crop condition. To reduce the risk of damaging plants and to achieve a high output, the cultivator can be equipped with the self-guiding CultiCam system.

Key properties

A inter-row cultivator that eliminates the occurrence of weeds in sugar beet crop with an adjustable inter-row spacing of 17.7-19.7 inches.

ROW-MASTER RN_S CULTIVATOR

Weeding = a path to higher yields.

Sugar beet needs an ideal soil environment to achieve adequate yield-generating elements. Weeding is one of the options how to achieve that. It makes air accessible to the roots, disrupts the soil crust, removes weed plants from inter-rows, and increases the sugar content of tubers.

A REAL EXPERT

A modular system adjustable to specific conditions.

A great advantage of the ROW-MASTER RN_S cultivator is the high variability of the equipment. The different types of working sections make it possible to adjust the cultivator to the current growth stage of the crop so that loosening is performed as best as possible and without the risk of crop damage.

THREE TYPES OF WORKING SECTIONS

For early spring to final weeding.

Working section with sweeps
Working section with sweeps and chisels
Working section with backfilling chisels

Early spring inter-row cultivation should be done using 5.9 inches sweeps with 100% overlapping. This operation removes the soil crust and weeds in rows. Sweeps bring weed roots to the surface where they quickly wilt.

For the second weeding, the cultivator should be equipped with a working section with three 5.9 inches sweeps and two chisels with a width of 1.5 inches. The chisels do not damage the plant air roots and moreover, they create a groove in the soil profile that improves access of roots to water and air.

The final loosening should be done using the 2.4 inches backfilling chisel with a mouldboard. The large chisel loosens soil and removes soil crust, even very hard. The mouldboard reduces the tops. This has a direct effect on the final tuber assessment.

WORKING SECTIONS MOUNTED ON A PARALLELOGRAM

Precise guidance in any conditions.

The individual working units are mounted to the frame using a clamp. The parallelogram traces the terrain and maintains the set working depth of the cultivation units in a precise way. The parallelogram completely eliminates movements caused by unevenness.

SILENT-BLOCK MOUNTING OF WORKING UNITS

A unique way of increasing down pressure.

Each working unit is mounted on a parallelogram, placed on silent-blocks. The down pressure of the working units is provided by the unique method of mounting in two pairs of silent-blocks. The down pressure of up to 176 lb per unit ensures that the set depth is maintained even in extremely hard and difficult conditions.

STABILIZING AND SUPPORT WHEELS

For guidance and maintaining the set working depth.

The ROW-MASTER RN_S cultivator is equipped with stabilizing steel wheels of the side frames that keep the cultivator within the rows. Each working unit has its own support wheel that helps maintain the set working depth and trace the terrain.

CULTICAM - AUTOMATED GUIDANCE SYSTEM

Minimization of the risk of plant damage, higher output and precise loosening, even at the early growth stage.

CultiCam, a guiding camera, reads the row lines, transfers the information to the system that sends data to the control unit, which transmits signals to the electric valves that move the frames to the left, or right. The camera can guide working units from the very early stage of crop emergence and it considerably increases productivity and comfort of work.

LED WORK LIGHTING

Changes night into day.

The inter-row cultivator can be equipped with a set of LED work lighting that ensures trouble-free visibility around the machine during long work shifts, to guarantee maximum daily output, even when working at night.

EASY SETTING

Of inter-row spacing and working depth.

The spacing between the individual working units can be easily changed by loosening the bolts that connect the main machine frame with the working units. The working depth of each unit is set easily using a manual screw mechanism (a crank). The working depth can be set from 0.8 to 4.7 inches.

MINERAL FERTILISER APPLICATION

FERTI-BOX FB_F

The FERTI-BOX FB_F front mounted hopper is designed for supplementary fertilisation in the soil profile and has a capacity of 54 – 62 bu. Fertiliser is pneumatically distributed from the front hopper to the distribution head mounted on the inter-row cultivator.

OUR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

CULTICAM - AUTOMATED GUIDANCE

The system automatically guides the inter-row cultivator by reading the rows. The system then communicates with the hydraulic control (movement) that guides the cultivator working units in the inter-rows.

PARALLELOGRAM MOUNTING OF WORKING UNITS

The individual working units are mounted to the frame of the inter-row cultivator using a clamp. The design provides excellent terrain tracing and maintains the set working depth of the cultivation units.

WHAT DO THE FARMERS HAVE TO SAY?

“I am very pleased with the inter-row cultivator. This year, we planted sugar beet on an area of 130 hectares. I can process about 30 hectares during a ten-hour shift. The working speed is around 6.5 km/h; the machine could work faster but it’s quality that matters, we do not want the sugar beet covered by soil. It all depends on the conditions and the size of sugar beet. Operation is easy. It is a smart machine – it notifies you when there is a problem. Working with the camera for automatic guidance is perfect. I also appreciate the easy maintenance and machine design with maintenance-free systems, as well as the simple working depth setting without the need to use a special tool. It takes me about ten minutes to pre-set the depth.”

Accessories

We know that everyone has different requirements for the optional machine equipment and its expected use. Therefore, you can specify your own ROW-MASTER RN inter-row cultivator to precisely match your needs.

Optional equipment for plant protection

Protective discs

The specially shaped protective discs of the working units define the cultivation width – they protect leaves and roots. The discs also prevent covering crop rows with soil and weed seeds.

Protective shields

The shields define the cultivation width and protect leaves and roots. They prevent covering crop rows with soil and weed seeds.

Other

Automated guidance

CultiCam reads two or three rows (according to the crop) and assesses the vegetation, then transmits the information to the electronic system, which communicates with the hydraulic control of the cultivator. The control guides the cultivator so that the working units work in the inter-rows, right next to the plants.

AGRONOMICAL GUIDE

INTER-ROW CULTIVATION
Weeding improves the physical properties of soil nutrient intake by plants, and the condition of vegetation. Inter-row cultivation has a weeding effect, which reduces the consumption of herbicides. Inter-row cultivation also has a soil-protecting effect. The loosened soil layer in the inter-row prevents fast drainage of surface water, and reduces the risk of water and air erosion. Liquid or solid fertilisers can be applied whilst weeding, thus improving the overall condition of the crop.
