Tined weeder AEROSTAR-CLASSIC XXL

The AEROSTAR-CLASSIC & –EXACT is equipped with direct spring-loaded tines.

These have many advantages:

• Tines swivel – ensuring effective weed control also in the row without harming the crop
• Highest adjustment range of the tine pressure on the market – enables gentle blind weeding and aggressive crust breaking
• Vibration ensures self-cleaning of tines – guarantees operation without clogging
• Weeds are uprooted from soil and dirt – fast drying out prevents re-growth
• State of the art tine guidance system – ensures weed control over the full surface

The line spacing has a decisive influence on the working effect and quality of the operation. With a 6-row arrangement of 60 tines per 1.5 m / 59.1″ field, an effective line spacing of 2.5 cm / 1″ is achieved. The basic requirement for efficient weed control is the smallest possible line spacing.

The tines on the weeder are fixed to the sections by plastic holders to prevent them from twisting so the tine is aligned in the exactly working direction.
The spring coil of the tine is mounted below the holder to ensure free tine movement and vibration out of the spring coil. As movement of the tine is not limited or restricted, breakage is very unlikely.

Hard plastic protection at the connection between the tine section and its holders prevents wear of the steel components and ensures that they do not harm each other. They also ensure good guidance of the tine section, while still allowing adjustment to the terrain.

A large frame clearance is guaranteed by the position of the sections and the frame. This ensures operation without damaging the crop even when the plants are higher (up to 55 cm / 21.7″ – depending on tine position and length).

A solid tube frame prevents the tine weeder from swinging and ensures a long life of the tines.

All sections of the trailed AEROSTAR-CLASSIC XXL are attached to suspend beams. These beams are hydraulically controlled (hydraulic level adjustment). This suspended beam system can adapt to uneven terrain in an excellent way. On soil with very hard crust the double-acting cylinders of the beams will allow you to put additional pressure on the sections.

At working widths of more than 18 m / 59.1 ft., the additional outer wheels do not have contact with the ground during folding into the transport position. And while upturning they cannot damage the crop.

This standard universal tine with a diameter of 7 mm / 0.28″ and a length of 490 mm / 19.3″ is ideal for medium to heavy soil conditions. This tine length can also compensate uneven spots in the field. This tine is the first choice in small grain farming.

The aggressiveness of the spring tines can be adjusted with a central lever per section in five different positions. The positions can vary from dragging to “tip forward of the bend”. A hydraulic adjustment of the tine position is also available.

All tine weeders achieve a transport width of only 3 m / 9.8 ft.

Tines 600 mm / 23,62″ long, Ø 7 mm / 0,28″ with front quick-change mechanism
This tine (standard on AEROSTAR-EXACT) with a diameter of 7 mm / 0,28″ and a length of 600 mm / 23,62″ offers advantages for special crops. In addition, its length makes it particularly good at smoothing out uneven soils.

Tines 490 mm / 19,29 long, Ø 8 mm / 0,31″
In hard soil conditions, the 8 mm / 0,31″ diameter tine with a length of 490 mm / 19,29″ should be used. (This tine is the most commonly used for mixed operations).

Tines 490 mm / 19,29 long STRAIGHT tines, Ø 8 mm / 0,31″
We recommend these straight tines with a diameter of 8 mm / 0,31″ and a length of 490 mm / 19,29″ especially for stony soils, to prevent stones from being brought to the soil surface.

Support wheels for sensitive or blind weeding (1x per section)

Hydraulic tine adjustment – position fixed with bolts (per section)
