VS 1200 M1

The Tined Weeder Pro VS 1200 M1 adjusts with its unique tine spring system to the soil and protects the culture plant at the highest level. The Tined Weeder Pro with 8 mm tines in a 35 mm spacing applies the same tine pressure on the ground even at different tine levels. This enables harrowing of crops planted on ridges, such as potatoes. The tine pressure stays the same on the ridge crowns, ridge flanks and in the furrow.
With the tine spring system, the tines can be lifted so that harrowing is possible even in sensitive crops or in sensitive crop stages. This enlarges the time slot, because the tine pressure can be reduced to the tine’s net weight and thus no breaks for harrowing are required in sensitive plant stages. The hydraulic tine pressure adjustment is available as standard on the APV Tined Weeder Pro and ensures stepless adjustment of the pressure.

Functional Principle

The tines penetrate the soil while harrowing to a maximum depth of 2-3 cm in order to break up and crumble the top soil crust. This ensures a better soil aeration and the capillarity is interrupted. The main focus of harrowing is on the reduction of weeds. While the tines move over the soil, bad herbs in the shoot or germination stage will be covered with soil or pulled out and discarded on top of the soil. There, they wither and die off. This means that approximately 90 % of the weed germs in the stock are decimated.

EXAKT

  • Sophisticated tine spring system guarantees identical tine pressure over the full spring travel
  • Each tine has its own spring package
  • The tines can not only be pre-loaded, they can also be lifted (applied for patent)
  • No lateral deflection of the tines in case of unevenness, furrows or crops planted on ridges

VERSATILE

  • Longer wear tip → longer lifetime
  • Tine pressure adjustment can be reduced stepless down to zero
  • Crops planted on ridges are protected, since the spring unit is mounted above the frame → high passage
  • Feeler wheels can also be adjusted on the track or the row spacing

COMFORTABLE

  • Hydraulic tine pressure setting
  • Clearly visible scale for setting the tine pressure
  • Hydraulic folding with series connection of the cylinder
    - When folding up the machine, the outer side frames fold up to the
       inner side frames and afterwards to a 90 degree high position
    - Unfolding is done in the reverse order of folding up
  • Adjustment handle for feeler wheels integrated in wheel mount
