Cormidi In the viticulture sector, preparing the soil for planting is a key part of achieving a lush harvest. To make this stage of work efficient and precise, it is important to equip oneself with the right equipment: the rotary harrow for vineyard was created precisely to make a soil suitable to host the new crop that will be able to develop properly and guarantee excellent yields.
How does this tool work and how to use it equipped with your power harrow? Find out below with the most important information about the power harrow.
What are the functions of a vineyard power harrow?
The vineyard power harrow is an agricultural implement that can be carried by a tractor machine or equipped on a wheelbarrow. Its main function concerns the refinement of the field in preparation for planting: the harrow, in fact, is responsible for breaking up and leveling the soil. In this way, it succeeds in eliminating bumps and making the surface flat and even, ideal for allowing better passage of air: this is one of the essential aspects for increasing soil fertility.
How does a power harrow work?
The mechanism is quite simple: a series of counter-rotating knife rotors takes care of breaking up the larger clods of soil. This is an important work not only to ensure a hospitable environment for the vine, but also to nullify the risk of soil compaction: this phenomenon causes a progressive loss of porosity and less passage to the subsoil of nutrients, which are essential for plant development. By incorporating organic fertilizer into the tool during its operation, it will be possible to improve the health of the soil where the vines will grow.
What characteristics should a vineyard rotary harrow have?
Compact design
The winemaker is often faced with steep and impervious terrain. In such situations, it is necessary to equip oneself with a rotary harrow with small dimensions: in this way, the machine will ensure smooth movements in all conditions, as well as excellent maneuverability that is ideal for efficient soil refinement operations. Moreover, by the time the vineyard has already grown, the machine will be able to move smoothly between the rows, decreasing the risk of damaging the plants.
Robustness
The use of the highest quality materials results in a longer lifespan for the attachment, which will not have to be replaced periodically. In fact, a sturdy structure can easily cope not only with normal soils, but also with treacherous terrain, brushwood and even stones. In this way, scratches and bumps will no longer be a problem.
Attention to performance
Agriculture and viticulture require ever-increasing efficiency that enables increased productivity at lower costs. The rotary harrow for vineyards must be made with precisely this goal in mind: a mighty structure is combined with an innovative, even more powerful rotary system to meet even the most stringent demands. In doing so, field performance improves and yield is even greater.
Why choose equipment on wheelbarrow?
When choosing a vineyard power harrow, it is also essential to consider the versatility of the product. Equipping the implement on a power harrow serves this very purpose. Cormidi, an Italian company operating in the field of earthmoving, designs wheelbarrows that can be equipped with different tools, depending on the type of activity required at the individual moment.
