The HILLSTAR is a ridger with large, curved discs and is used for hilling in hill crops such as potatoes. A pre-loosening tine breaks open the dam sole and the following discs push the soil removed by erosion back onto the hill.
Ridger
HILLSTAR
- Heaping element for hill-crops
- E.g. for potatoes, carrots, leeks, etc.
- Row distance: hill-crops up to 80 cm / 31.50″
- Equipped with 1 S-tine and two large curved hilling discs
The concept of Einböck row-crop cultivators is its variability and the variety of individually adaptable tools. This means that the right machine can be configured for every farm, every condition and every crop:
To standard hoeing technology
To special hoeing technology
To accessories for hoes
To vegetable care technology
The advantages of
HILLSTAR
Strong frame for maximum durability
The stable machine frame, to which the hoeing parallelograms are attached, is available in a rigid version or with a hydraulically foldable design up to a width of 19 m / 62 ft. The special Einböck profiled tube allows for quick and easy mounting of the hoeing elements. The special frame shape and design ensures maximum durability and an exact fit. In addition, different row distances can be quickly and infinitely adjusted. The ROW-GUARD camera steering system can be mounted on all frames as well.
- Rear frame for rigid machines with upper link steering
- Frame folded hydraulically (rear with upper link steering)
- Rear double folding frame up to 12 m / 40 ft
- Rear double folding frame and wide middle frame up to 19 m / 62 ft
- Special frame
Elongated parallelograms
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.
High penetration force of hoeing elements
All Einböck row-crop cultivator parallelograms are fitted with three-step adjustable retraction spring as standard. These ensure that the hoeing tools penetrate better, even in heavily crusted soils, and enable higher working speeds without the elements vibrating or jumping.
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.
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
- Precise row recognition in different row-crops
- Best visibility – even in fields with heavy weed infestation and/or small crops
- Proven a thousand times
Customized options & special features
Many sophisticated additional options such as following working tools, SECTION-CONTROL element lifting, camera steering, etc. 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.

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. 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.
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.
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 parallelogram should be adjusted individually, because e.g. the tracks behind the tractor wheels should be hoed deeper in order to break them up.
High frame clearance
A frame clearance up to 70 cm / 28″ makes working in bigger crops like corn, sunflowers, etc. possible. So efficient and careful hoeing / ridging up in late growth stage does not cause any problem.
Hydraulic lifting SECTION-CONTROL
The section has a lifting height of up to 35 cm / 14″ (depending on the machine configuration and soil conditions) and can automatically be controlled by GPS via SECTION-CONTROL, or manually by switches. Lifting the sections ensures no crop is damaged at the headlands when the fields are not square. This option is especially recommended for contractors or farms with a lot of misshaped fields.
Hill-weeder
For hill cultivation, a hill weeder with a parallelogram and a comb weeder can be mounted to pull out and bury weeds on the hill.
Front mounting frame
When the ROLLSTAR is used front mounted, a special front mounting support is needed.
Automatic sideshift frame
A ROW-GUARD camera-guided sideshift frame can be mounted to each row-crop cultivator, also retro-fitted.
Seeding box to distribute cover crops or fertilizer
The pneumatic seeding box P-BOX or the front tank JUMBO-SEED can be optionally combined with the row-crop cultivator. These can be used to apply under-seeds or fertilizers during hoeing.
Band spraying
The JUMBO-STREAM front tank for liquids offers efficient solutions for combined weed control. In combination with the proven CHOPSTAR-PRIME row-crop cultivator, the front tank enables effective mechanical weed control that includes hoeing and simultaneous band spraying or fertilizing.
Air feeler wheel
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.
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.
Further tailor-made solutions
Our hoeing technology offers numerous additional options and special equipment. In addition, there are many other individual solutions that we have successfully implemented following customer requests over the last 45 years.
