Kverneland Helios 2000
Efficient weed control is a prerequisite for healthy plant growth as the basis for yield, profit and safe food production.
Rotary hoe for mechanical weed control in cereals and row crops
Description
The Kverneland rotary hoe, Helios, carries out selective mechanical weeding efficiently under any soil conditions, at lower and higher speeds (6 to 15km/h) with low impact on the growing crop.
The tandem star wheels made of cast-iron allow highly effective harrowing at a constant depth, even in hard and dry soil and mulch conditions. Each tandem row is individually mounted. The slender shape of the arm is fixed by conical pin, wear-resistant and ensuring smooth and stable operation. The special back of spoon design penetrates the soil, lifts the weeds whilst being gentle to the crop.
The following harrow equipped with curved tines will keep the weeds on the surface to dry out. The movement of soil onto the cultivated plants is avoided. By adjusting the speed, Helios works only as aggressively as needed.
Highlights
- Weeds taken onto the surface to dry out
- Adjustable and even working depth
- Adjustable to the level of emerging crops and sowing depth
- No blockages also in mulch conditions
- Precise speed management to work only as aggressively as needed
- Large capacity and high speed
- Cracking the upper topsoil, breaking the slaking crust
