The AEROSTAR-ROTATION combines the advantages of a tined weeder and a rotary hoe. Compared to a usual tined weeder the AEROSTAR-ROTATION achieves a higher level of weed control. Rotating working tools unroot or cover weeds, encourage tillering and crack even hard soil crusts without any problems. This machine is also very well suited for higher residue conditions and slightly moisture soil.
The hydraulic pressure adjustment allows anything from full pressure on the star wheels to no pressure. No pressure allows the wheels to float. Therefore the machine is perfectly suited for difficult soil conditions and sensitive special crops. A level seedbed preparation is necessary for low pressure operation.
An effective use of the machine is also possible in a late growth stage, because the rotating wheel does not push down any plants, but releases them. The inclined star wheels also have a better effect in the rows.
