To mechanize the process of hilling some crops, such as potatoes or corn , hillocks for the motor block are used. They greatly facilitate agricultural work. However, it can be difficult to choose because of the large number of varieties of these devices and the difficulty in determining which hillock for the motor block is better.
Types of hillers for potatoes to a motor block
First of all, all okuchniki are divided into two-row and single-row. A double hoe for a motor block at a time makes furrows on either side of the potato row above which it is installed, and also on the one hand by rows that are neighboring for our series. Each new pass by the motoblock should be done so that it moves over the row, going through one from the previous one.
When working with a single-row hiller for a motor-block, it is necessary to plant potatoes on a considerable width, since both grousers must pass one inter-row. In order not to lose precious meters and not to plant potatoes too rarely, choose a motoblock with a minimum distance between the outer edges of the grousers.
Another classification of hillocks divides them into those that have a fixed and variable width of capture. The first hoggers with fixed width (lister) are the simplest in design: they have two fixed spread wings and a thin rod-rod for connection to the motor block.
Fixed hillers are suitable for working with a light motor cultivator (up to 30 kg). Advantage of them in the convenience of transportation, compactness, simplicity. However, you will have to adjust to the parameters of the hogweed, that is, plant potatoes with a certain width of the rows, because you can not adjust the width of the hog pickup during operation.
Another thing - hillocks with a variable width of capture. A simple adjusting mechanism allows you to easily move and move the wings, adjusting the tool to the width of the available rows. Used such hillers with heavier and more powerful motor cultivators.
Milling cutter for motoblock is used not only for hilling of crops, but also for paving furrows for planting seeds, cultivating the soil. It is installed instead of the base milling cutter motor cultivator.
And another kind of hiller for a motor-block on wheels is a disk. It looks like a frame on two wheels with wheels suspended on it, which can perform a number of tasks - cultivation, hilling, preparing the soil for sowing. The stands of such hillocks are regulated, so that you can always change the distance between the disks and, accordingly, the width of the rows from 35 to 70 cm.
It is important to set the disc hoe to the same angle of the discs, so that it does not "lead" to the side. There is such a hiller so: the discs grab the ground while the cultivator or motoblock moves and pour it on the plants. At the same time, the soil is chopped and loosened.
Advantages of disc horns
The disk hoe has several advantages over others. First, it makes more even and high ridges. Secondly, it is pleasant and easy to work with. Third, he spends less energy for work.
And in spite of the fact that, unlike the two-rowed hiller, the disk drive must be driven over each radom, and not through one, the quality of hilling is much higher. Yes, and the operator to work with him much easier.
In addition, with a disk sander you can adjust not only the width of the grip of the soil, depending on the available inter-row, but also the angle of inclination of the discs, and hence the height of the hilling. Since it is sometimes necessary to hunt not only potatoes, but also other crops, this is an important property.
