Ridge Making Machines

011

An invaluable tool in today's mechanized agriculture is the ridger. As its name suggests, it is the specific tool to make ridges that will be applied in countless crops for multiple reasons. For example, the ridger is used to make plateaus for the planting of citrus fruits and other crops that need to be at a certain height and thus avoid or damage the plants (e.g. Phytophthora, gummosis) or, to procure certain benefits and advantages. Another example would be the case of rice, where ridges of soil are made, in order to avoid the waves of the water by wind. The applications are endless.

The measurements of our ridgers when closed are 2.50 meters at the front and 0.75 meters at the rear. They can be opened hydraulically up to 3.30 meters in front and 1.55 meters behind, being able to produce ridges at an approximate height of up to 0.50 meters.

The ridges formed have a compact but moderately tight soil plateau, in order to easily plant the plants to be cultivated. With a weight of 900 kilos a tractor with a minimum power of 100 HP it’s needed.
