STRUCTURE AND MODE OF OPERATION
Thanks to its robust and compact design, the Rotary
Hoe RH 600 is ideal for controlling undesired mulch
plants (weeds) in various crops.
The rotating hoe rings bury or uproot the mulch plants,
promote tillering of the crop, and bring oxygen into the
soil. The slanted position of the rings increases
efficiency and makes the implement even more
aggressive. The rotating rings prevent the implement
from clogging and makes it possible to comb out the
weeds.
The Rotary Hoe is insensitive to organic residues; this
makes it highly suitable for mulch seeding.
The work is performed by spring steel pins, 6 mm thick,
which are cast in a slanted polyurethane disc. These
star rings 50 cm in diameter are individually suspended
and they can individually adapt to ground

unevenness. The downward pre-load force occurs via the net weight of the ring, added to the pre-load
force of the springs. Thanks to the toolless quick-release fastener on each arm, it is possible to adjust the
pitch from 0
– 30° in 5° increments.
Because the working rings are arranged back-to-front, starting from the middle, lateral pulling forces do
not occur. To ensure full area tillage, the middle ring is slightly set back, this prevents the two rings in the
middle from interlocking, which would damage the crops.

ATTACHMENT ON THE TRACTOR
The implement must be mounted on the tractor's 3-point linkage.
The lifting struts must be adjusted at the same height on the left and right.
Hook in the top link in such a manner, that the top link is also inclined toward the tractor in work operation.
(Comply with the information provided by the manufacturer of the tractor.)
Adjust the side linkage so that the implement can oscillate freely in the field but becomes fixed in place in
lifted-out status.
Additional wheel weights can be advantageous for difficult operating conditions. See the operating manual
provided by the manufacturer of the tractor.
To ensure steering and braking capability, the tractor must be adequately equipped with ballast weight on
the front. At least 20% of the unladen vehicle weight is required on the front axle.
