Thanks to the possibilities of modern production of agricultural machines , as well as technological progress, work on a farm becomes less burdensome and more automated. For many agricultural farms, agricultural machines are invaluable because they save time and also improve work efficiency.
Potato cultivation in Poland began in 1683, when King John III Sobieski brought potato tubers during his return from the Vienna expedition. Of course, potato cultivation has changed dramatically since then. This does not mean that those systems of growing this raw material were bad, but time has certainly worked to our advantage. Currently, the harvesting of tubers and the cultivation of potatoes are mostly mechanized. The consumer receives a clean product, often already packaged. Of course, this valuable agricultural machine, such as a potato hiller, is dedicated to all inter-row crops for vegetables that grow in ridges (potatoes, beets).
Riders are care tools used in the cultivation of potatoes and other root crops grown in ridges, as well as in the cultivation of vegetables, strawberries and corn.
The ridger can be used for weeding, loosening inter-rows, and trimming rows of plants up to 60 cm high.
The width of the cultivated inter-rows can be adjusted from 62.5 cm to 67.5 cm.
The ridgers are equipped with a filler body consisting of a double-sided share, a moldboard and two wings.
