​Fliegl introduces Rollhacke spoon weeder

The German machine manufacturer Fliegl previously showed the Striegel weed harrow and Dexter row hoe. The RollHacke further expands the range of mechanical weed control machines. The spoon weeder has a working width of 6.5 meters. According to Fliegl, a capacity of up to 10 hectares per hour can be achieved at a driving speed of 15 to 20 km/h.

Surface soil tillage

The RollHacke spoon weeder controls full-field weeds, but also breaks up compacted soil or crusts so that crops can germinate. The superficial treatment ensures that you only work the top soil layer, so that extra oxygen ends up in the soil. According to Fliegl, the spoon weeder does not disturb deeper rooted crops. Those crops actually benefit from extra oxygen.​
