The common hoeing devices did not meet Dieter Leibings needs: they were too complicated for him, had too much abrasion and were too expensive for him.
Solution
He developed a hoeing frame with one joint per coulter. The hoeing shares can be adjusted in working depth and inclination. The contact pressure is exerted via telescopic gas springs or as a hydraulic variant. Instead of a parallelogram with guiding rollers, a steel skid grinds over the field and thus maintains the shallow working depth of the blades. The hoe is available for front mounting.
Description
