Hoe-rigger P475/2 with Norma Bomet string rollers

Thanks to the possibilities of modern production of agricultural machinery, as well as technological progress, farm work becomes less burdensome and more automated. For many farms, agricultural machines are invaluable as they save time, but also give better efficiency of work.

Potato cultivation in Poland began in 1683, when the potato tubers were brought by King Jan III Sobieski during his return from the Vienna expedition. Of course, potato cultivation has changed dramatically since then. This is not to say that those systems of cultivation of this raw material were bad, but certainly time worked in favor here. Currently, the harvesting of tubers, as well as the potato cultivation itself, is mostly mechanized work. The consumer receives a clean product, often already packed. Of course, this valuable agricultural machine is dedicated to all inter-row crops for plants that grow in ridges (e.g. potatoes, beets, corn, strawberries).

The choice of modern machines is huge, to make the work much more effective, a hoe-rigger is used for the process of weeding, but also for ridding and loosening the rows.

This is a very versatile device, thanks to which you can perform a number of activities, of course, faster and more effectively.
