The STARLINER rotary hoe is a mechanical weeding tool for uprooting young weeds thus providing a beneficial effect to the crop. Fitted with rotating stars, this machine also effectively breaks up soil crusts caused by heavy rain and crumbles the soil. This loosens and aerates the soil, promoting mineralization and boosting crop growth.

 
Whether for winter or spring crop varieties such as cereals, corn or soybean, the rotating stars of the STARLINER rotary hoe are perfectly adapted to work in the presence of crop residues in no-till situations, for example. These stars are independent of each another and spring-loaded which allows good ground following at high speeds (12 to 25 kph) and ensures a high work output.

STARLINER dimensions

A large area worked

Owing to the 10 cm spacing between each star and the 1.8cm spoon width, the whole area is work and weeds are disposed of.

Plant residues are no longer a problem

Each star is offset rearwards by 14 cm with regards to the neighbouring star, which allows easier passage of residues in the plot and thus, limits clogging.

A high work output

With the STARLINER rotary hoe, the higher the working speed, the more ejections occur. In some conditions, it is possible to reach a speed of 25 kph, which allows dislodging and ejecting yound weeds on the ground.

STARLINER holders and springs

Robust components

The rotary stars with individual suspension are made to last and ensure optimal work performance. Each star is fitted independently and features its own spring. This improves work quality considerably as it allows each star to operate autonomously. This increases the service life of the machine and its components as the high-quality holders can accept very high loads.

Pratically wear-free wearing parts

The stars feature reinforced rolling bearings which do no require greasing. The spoons fitted on each star are individually removable and replaceable. Furthermore, they are hardened for increased wear resistance.

Easy settings

The working depth is easily set by adjusting the height of the gauge wheels located at the front of the machine

The machine's aggressiveness varies with the ground speed: the faster the working speed, the more the ejection effect will increase ; the lower the working speed, the more aggressive the stars will be.

A single row for controlled ground pressure

Each star holder is fitted on a single bar, itself directly mounted on the machine frame. Owing to this direct mount on the frame, the ground pressure is controlled, ensuring uniform and efficient machine weight distribution on the ground.
