The rotary hoe is the specific attachment for working the soil in preparation for seeding, for burying vegetable residues, eliminating weeds or for weeding between rows in vegetable crops and floriculture.
It is available in size 46 cm with fixed cover or 52, 66, 80, 85 and 85L cm with adjustable cover; its structure is sturdy and reliable and no routine maintenance is required.
The tilling depth can be changed by adjusting the central knife, easily and safely, through the suitable lever (not available for 46-cm model).
An optional rotary hoe travel wheel can be fitted, which comes in handy when transferring the two-wheel tractor because by keeping the rotary hoe lifted off the ground, moving it becomes easier and less arduous.
