Advantages of hoeing
Beside the positive effect for the crop (water saving, weed control, breaking of crusts, soil aeration, ...) hoeing has many additional advantages for the soil (nutrient-mobilization, disruption of capillary action, protection against erosion, fertilizer application,...) and for the environment. So you can reduce or eliminate the expenditure of herbicide- and active ingredients, further stretch of water and also species richness are protected and soil fertility is increased.

Strong frame for high loads
Rigid or hydraulically folding machines have a strong frame, on which the parallelograms are mounted. The special Einböck-profile-frame allows a fast and simple assembly of the parallelograms. Because of the special frame-form the frame can stand a very high number of hoeing seasons without any problems. Furthermore, the row spacing can be adjusted quickly and infinitely variable.

1. Frame for a front-mounted rigid machine
2. Frame for a rear-mounted rigid machine with upper-link-steering
3. Frame for a front-mounted machine, hydraulic folding
4. Frame for a rear-mounted machine, hydraulic folding with upper-link steering
5. Frame for a rear-mounted machine, with double folding for reduced transport width for large machines

Section-Control – hydraulic lifting sections
The hydraulic parallelogram lift has up to 35 cm / 13.80" lift height (depending on machine configuration and soil conditions) and is controllable by GPS or pressure switch.
Even with misshapen areas, nothing is hoed out at the headland. This option is especially recommended for contractors or farms with a lot of misshapen areas.
Hydraulic lifting is also possible for finger hoes.

Upper link steering
An automatic upper link steering system is mounted as standard on rear-mounted hoeing machines. This ensures precise hoeing even on hilly conditions and curves. Hoeing on hills with an incline of up to 6% is possible. Even in curves, the row-crop cultivator runs as close as possible behind the tractor track. Steering is done via gauge wheels. The implement does not need to be carried by the tractor. It is therefore used with position control and swinging lower links (approx. 7 cm / 2,80" each side). With the CHOPSTAR-TWIN, a ROW-GUARD sideshift frame with camera steering or hydraulic steering control is recommended so that the narrowest possible hoeing band can be achieved.

Even when working in shapeless fields there is no damage on the crop at the headlands. This option is particularly recommended for contractors or farms with a lot of fields with irregular form.

Hoeing frame in XXL version
Large machines with big working width (e.g. 72-row grain, 24-row beets, 16-row corn) are available in two different versions:

1. Frame for rear-mounted machine with extra-wide middle-frame (transport width more than 3m)
2. Frame for rear-mounted machine with trailing chassis (transport width not more than 3m)

Bolted or clamped mounting of the working tools
All working tools are bolted or clamped to the frame. 
This has the following advantages for the user: 

• Always a tight fit (no getting lose) of the working tools, especially during working on the field
• Set distances or working depth are precisely maintained 
• No deflection of the connections and minimal wear and tear
• Durable fixings/clamps withstand many hoeing seasons
• Fixing of the tools without clearance what results e.g. in exact guidance of the sweeps
• Allows very precise, infinitely variable adjustment

Automatic sideshift frame with camera-guidance
A ROW-GUARD sideshift frame can be mounted to each row crop cultivator, also retro-fitted.

Long parallelogramms with retraction support
The wide parallelogramms are equipped with retraction support and durable Farmflex feeler wheels. Furthermore they can be adjusted in the joints, this guarantees a high (side)stability and accuracy after many years of use. The long parallelogramms provide enough space to compensate unevenness of the fields on each element, on hills or pans. The retraction support, which you can adjust in three steps guarantees a better penetration of the hoeing tools, also in hard crusted soils. This allows to work with increased working speed without vibration or jumping of the elements.

Mounting of lower-links on 3-point hitch
Lower links are guided on both sides to provide high stability.

Adjustable hilling discs
The hoe section of the HILLSTAR is equipped with big, cancave discs so the soil can be pushed up in hill crops. For different hill shapes the discs can be adjusted in angle and height. The S-tine with duckfoot-sweep breaks the soil in front of the disc to get enough lose soil for maintaining the hills.

Set of wrenches
A set of wrenches, suitable for the screws which are mounted on the row crop cultivator, are included in the standard delivery. So the few bolted holders can be adjusted easily. Bolted tine-holders, as well as holders for fingerweeders, guarantee exact adjustment and precise hoeing.

Hydraulic upper-link steering support
The effect of the upper-link steering can be increased hydraulically. At the headland the cylinder always has to be switched to the other direction. It is recommended for slopes over 6 %.

Continuously variable adjustment of the working depth
The working depth of the hoeing section is continuously variable adjustable with a spindle on the depth control wheel. So the working depth of the hoeing tool can be adjusted to the millimetre and it is perfectly maintained during operation. A scale shows the actual adjustment. Each parallelogramm should be adjusted individually, because e.g. the tracks behind the tractor wheels should be hoed deeper in order to break them up.

Air wheel instead of Farmflex feeler wheel for sandy and light soil

For professional and precise work of the jockey wheel even on light soils, pneumatic wheels (instead of the standard Farmflex jockey wheels) are available as an option. These ensure that the desired working depth is maintained in very light or sandy soils thanks to a wider tread.

Seeder for undersowing or fertilizing
As options for this operation there are the seeding box P-Box-STI (1) or the front tank JUMBO-SEED (2) available.

High penetration force of hoeing elements
All Einböck row-crop cultivator parallelograms are fitted with three-step adjustable retraction spring as standard. This allows a penetration pressure of up to 105 kg on each hoeing element (depending on the equipment, working position and spring preload). These adjustable springs ensure a smooth running of the hoeing elements even at high working speeds and safe penetration even into hard and crusted soils.

Advantages of camera steering system ROW GUARD

• sideshift frame and row-crop cultivator are mounted very closely together
• one sideshift frame can be used for several row-crop cultivators
• latest version of hard- and software
• reliable row recognition in different row-crops
• best visibility - even in fields with heavy weed infestation and/or small crop

Guided hill-weeder
Ideal for cultivation of hill crops - the guided hill-weeder with parallelogram and comb weeder for covering an pulling out weeds on the hill.

Automatic upper link steering
Rear-mounted row-crop cultivators come standard with an automatic upper link steering system. This ensures exact hoeing, also on hills and bends. Even hoeing in hills with up to 6 % inclination is possible. The row-crop cultivator is guided exactly behind the tractor, even if there are a lot of bends. The cultivator is steered via the upper link of the 3-point hitch by metal gauge-wheels, therefore the machine is used with position control on the 3-point linkage and freely swinging lower links (approx. 7 cm each side).

Monitoring camera for row crop cultivator
The monitoring camera with a special lens for a narrow field of vision is designed for row crop cultivators. It ensures convenient observation and control of the operation and the hoeing belt via a monitor in the tractor cab. The camera is mounted with a holder on the frame of the hoe.

Gauge wheels on implements with upper link steering
The gauge wheels ensure perfect guidance of the hoe and stability at hilly conditions. The tractor's front wheels are not relieved of load, as the weight of the machine is carried by the gauge wheels. Especially on hilly conditions, the gauge wheels help prevent the implement from drifting. Scrapers ensure that the gauge wheels do not become clogged.

Warning signs with LED-lights
For an extra charge, warning signs with LED-lights to the rear and front are available.

High frame clearance
A frame clearance up to 70 cm makes working in bigger crops like maize, sunflowers, etc. possible. So efficient and careful hoeing / ridging up in late growth stage does not cause any problem.

Additional options like following weeder tines, section-control element lifting, camera steering system, hilling tools, etc.
Many sophisticated additional options make every Einböck row crop cultivator an individually adaptable machine. So every cultivator is designed to perfectly meet current conditions, crops or types of soil. You can find all various possibilities under "Options".

Manual hydraulic steering
In order to increase the precision of a row crop cultivator without camera steering or to reduce the width of the hoeing belt, a manual hydraulic steering is optionally available. This accessory allows a person to steer the row crop cultivator independently from the tractor. The seat is positioned so that the best view on the crop row is guaranteed. The steering is hydraulically operated, so that even longer hoeing operations can be done. The hydraulic steering is not or only partially usable on machines with fingerweeders and hydraulic lifting of the parallelograms.
