During the summer period, a process crucial that promotes the well-being of the vineyards is the movement of the soil through the blade cultivator.

This blade allows you to work the soil surface is dry and the grass, in such a way that it does not take root, and giving greater scope to the vineyard. We explore below the features and benefits of this machine, along with the characteristics of the model studied by BFM.

When and how to use the blade cultivator

Together with summer pruning the use of the blade cultivator allows for processing essential to the well-being of the vineyards in the warmer months. The best time to use the blade cultivator, in fact, is undoubtedly the summer: the high temperatures and the sun persistent allow to dry to a maximum of the ground, so that the manufacturing has more success. Through the application of the blade, cultivator, it is possible to make a cut of the root of the grassand soil at the surface at the base of the vineyard, extremely dry dates temperatures.

If you were to apply this process in advance, during the spring months, the risk of rain would be extremely high and the soil is impregnated would not achieve the advantages of this process. With the soil moist, in fact, the root of the weeds, sticks, while this is not the case when the heat penetrates the soil: the advice is to proceed with the blade from the month of June.

The knife this blade is working for the first 3-4 cm of depth , and provides mainly two benefits:

1. by Removing the top layer of the earth and weeds, it offers a breath plant that is so airy for a robust growth and total well-being.
2. The blade allows you to split the root of the herb from the ground, separating them: in this way, the heat dries the weed dry without affecting the health of the plant. The result is a mechanical means flawless.

Compared to other machining operations, the blade cultivator allows you to move more quickly while the cutter should crumble to the ground and the grass and brings a machining over the grass, the blade has only a knife, which applies an operation of cutting the turf area, reducing greatly the time of use.

All of the features of the blade cultivator BFM

to respond To the need of a mechanical means efficient, the BFM has studied in every detail, the blade cultivator interceppi automatic AB9.

The reduced forms of this machine is extremely fast (5-6km/h) to allow you to work in very confined spaces, up to 40cm between the plant and the plant, with an inclination that goes to 30 degrees +/-; in this way it is possible to work in the difference in height between the rows and inter-row without any difficulty. The blade is connected via a transmission PTO (power take-off): the cardan shaft connects the tractor tothe tool, providing the energy needed to power directly from the engine of the tractor.

The work of the operator is facilitated: it has, in fact, available to the two levers of the distance to the command you want to use. The first lever is dedicated to the management of tilt from the blade in the ground; the second lever allows you to perform the recall of the emergency at the end of the row, so that the machine will break.

The accessories that are applicable for this are manifold: from the blade plough, the ploughshare fixed front, body, arm, disc mowers and interceppi, body arm milling machine shedder and the control unit with the electrical controls are independent. You can choose from four different frame options according to your needs, with a change in the values of width, weight, power, and opening from the centre of the tractor.

Conclusion

The blade cultivator it is an indispensable tool for those who want to enhance and protect their own vineyard. It is, in fact, is used in the summer months to apply a mechanical means: the blade allows you to work the surface layer of the soil, uprooting the weeds and giving greater scope to the plant.

It is important to carry out this work during the warmer months , just to avoid the risk of the rains that give moisture to the ground: in this case, the weeds would be constantly a fertile ground in which to take effect. To choose the best model of the blade we have to consider not only the capacity of the tilt and speed of progress, but also to all the applicable accessories.
