FLEX is designed for inter-row cultivation (shaking the soil crust) and weed control in corn, sunflower and sugar beet crops.
The inter-row cultivators have variable adjustable sections to respond to current soil conditions and crop yields. The working units create pressure on the support wheel and maintain the precise working path of each section.
Inter-row cultivator is universal and can be used in many other crops. Use allows you to effectively reduce the number of trips and the need for water – 1 weeding is worth as much as 2 irrigation…
FLEX'S ADVANTAGES
AGRONOMIC ADVANTAGES
In the case of many crops, effective weed control determines the size and quality of the harvest. Thanks to modern weeders, it is possible to quickly clean the cultivated area from all unnecessary plants. Cultivators work well both in fields and small allotment gardens.
An essential part of conventional and organic farming, inter-row cultivation provides plant protection in a mechanical form with inter-row hoes, which has many agronomic and environmental advantages. This agricultural technique is an interesting alternative to chemical products for protection against weeds, which find favorable conditions along the rows, settle and grow, thus destroying crop yields.
BENEFITS FOR THE EARTH
⇨ In addition to removing weeds, they take care of proper soil loosening.
⇨ Thanks to them, it is possible to significantly reduce the chemicals used to eliminate weeds.
⇨ In addition to the benefits such as removing soil crust, aerating and removing weeds, we additionally remove the so-called beet-weeds, which significantly reduce the beet yield.
⇨ Destruction of the crust on the soil surface.
⇨ Weeding does not damage or inhibit the growth of main crops.
⇨ Reducing the number of pests (snails) and diseases transmitted.
⇨ Possibility of cleaning the row or filling the row with soil, depending on the equipment of the cultivator.
⇨ Thanks to surface cultivation of the soil, weeding guarantees an improvement in water penetration into the soil and thus reduces the need for water.

The inter-row cultivator with vibrating tines of the protective discs allows you to work on the maximum possible area between the rows, while maintaining high working speed. The design of the machine ensures high accuracy of work both above and below the work surface. Each module is a separate cultivation unit with its own depth adjustment wheel and suspension with two transverse wishbones. Thanks to this, the modules always work at the correct depth.
CARE OF CORN WITH THE EFFECT OF INCREASING YIELD
If you are considering increasing the intensity of your corn crop, inter-row cultivation is an operation that should be part of your agricultural practices. The use of a weeder significantly increases the viability of the crop. Corn needs warm temperature, air and water to grow. The use of a hoe positively affects the increase in soil aeration, because it “shallowly breaks” the soil crust, which, when compacted, causes great problems, especially after heavy rain and especially on soils prone to crust formation.
FLEX WITH PRECISION CAM GUIDANCE SYSTEM
FLEX can be equipped with a scanning optical CAM system for crop monitoring. The camera monitors the rows, assesses the crop, and then feeds the information to the electronics, which communicates with the section control hydraulics. It guides the weeder in such a way as to ensure precise work of working teams in rows between crops. When scanning in the field with the CAM system, the frame adapts the sections to the inter-rows.
KEY ADVANTAGES OF CAM CONTROL
- Reduced risk of crop damage
- Ability to work at a higher working speed = increased productivity
- Comfortable work without operator fatigue
APV/SLY FERTILIZING KIT
Each machine can be equipped with an appropriate fertilization system, whether for liquid fertilizer or granules, with a tank mounted on the front of the tractor, which significantly reduces fuel consumption and reduces travel. Optional accessories allow fertilization with granulate from a rotating disc or a pneumatic system directly to the weeding tine, for the SLY system, dosing in a liquid form via wires directly to the weeding tine, 1000 – 2000 liter tank mounted on the front of the tractor.

ADAPTATION OF THE SECTION FOR THE VEGETATION PERIOD AND SOIL CONDITIONS
WORKING SECTION WITH 5 BLADES
WORKING SECTION WITH 3 BLADES AND CHISEL
WORKING SECTION WITH CHISEL
WORKING SECTION WITH 5 BLADES
It is recommended to use 150 mm shares, with 100% soil inversion for the first spring crops. It is recommended to use with inter-row widths above 60 cm – sugar beets, corn. The shares are mounted on flexible legs. The first operation eliminates soil crusting and basic weeding. Weeds are pulled out and their roots are deprived of soil, which accelerates their wilting.
WORKING SECTION WITH 3 BLADES AND CHISEL
In this configuration, the manufacturer recommends using a section with three blades (150 mm) and a chisel (40 mm wide). It is recommended to use it with inter-row widths between 45-60 cm – vegetable plantations. The chisels are mounted on a flexible leg. In the later stages of growth, the soil tends to be firmer, so a section with three shares and a chisel is recommended, rather than just shares. The soil will increase the oxygen content and improve its structure. As a rule, when using a weeder for weeding vegetables, it is recommended to use side shields to protect plants against accidental damage.
WORKING SECTION WITH CHISEL
Used when late loosening occurs, the soil is heavier and the crop is already developed – in the example of maize, loosening with a chisel at a depth of 60 mm, equipped with a protective plate, is ideal. The large chisel aerates the soil and removes very hard crusts. We often resign from using the finger harrow when the field is heavily infested with weeds.
