Grape growing machinery
Grapes in vineyards are grown in rows. To keep the inter-rows in good shape we need the right machines for this. Machines for inter-row cultivation are not too different from standard field machines. The biggest and most noticeable difference is the working width. Depending on the spacing of the rows growing in the vineyards, this is the working width of the machine we should choose. Vineyard machines are mainly used to remove weeds and unwanted plants, which, as they grow, take up a significant amount of nutrients. For inter-row cultivation, disc harrows and cultivating units, preferably on a goose-foot coulter, are best.
Interrow machines
Inter-rows, depending on the crop, can be of different widths. A weeding machine should be sized to cultivate the maximum width of the inter-row without damaging the crop. Inter-row tillage machines are usually designed to be as compact as possible. A common practice is to use a large number of hydraulic cylinders to fold the machine to a size that makes it easy to maneuver between rows.
Manufacturer of tillage machinery – AGROLAND
AGROLAND is a manufacturer of agricultural machinery, mainly cultivation machinery, including aggregates and disc harrows for inter-row cultivation. It offers disc harrows (WINEDISC) in very different working widths, from 0.95 m to 2.25 m. Thanks to their compact design and relatively low weight, they are ideal for inter-row cultivation and have low power requirements. There is also an inter-row cultivation unit (KOKOS). This machine, built with two rows of spring tines on a goose-foot coulter with a finishing roller at the rear of the machine, performs excellently in inter-row cultivation. AGROLAND's viticulture machines are doing very well in vineyards throughout France but also in other countries where viticulture is popular.
