Venterra VR4 inter row hoe

The duckfoot share is the crucial element for optimal soil movement. The flat design ensures direct desiccation of the weeds leaving them left on the surface. With blade widths from 80 mm to 380 mm, the right cutting width is available for any row width. The long flanks minimise the susceptibility to blocking and provide an intentional overlap of several blades in a row, thereby preventing underground rhizomes from slipping through. Hard-faced variants offer reduced wear.

Offset blades offer an alternative to duckfoot shares and work directly against the crop row. The offset blade enables precise cutting along the crop rows with virtually no soil movement into the crop row, thereby protecting the plants from being buried. Offset blades are particularly suitable for working in vegetables or specialist crops.

Chisel points are available from AMAZONE as optional equipment. Where the row spacings is narrow, as is often the case in cereal crops, they can be used to work in the adjoining row, moreover, the chisel points can be used on heavy and/or dry soils to break up the soil.

Spring tines are the low-cost alternative to the RapidoClip hoe blades. They are particularly suitable for stony conditions as they can move sideways. They can also be used for working deeper. In addition, the steeper position of the points moves more soil and generates a mixing effect.

Changing the hoe blades couldn't be easier

• Ingenious: the hoe blades can be changed without tools in less than 10 seconds. 
• Cost-effective: saves money as the shaft is extremely robust and only the blade plate has to be replaced as a spare part 
• Reliable: hoe blade is securely retained under all conditions 
• Precise: sharp hoe blade with a shallow angle of attack 
• Adaptable: lockable in any position, flexible and can even be used on hoes from other manufacturers

Hoe blade change in record time
The patented RapidoClip system is a tool-less quick-change system for hoe blades and enables worn hoe blades to be replaced in next to no time, both in the field and back in the yard.

The share shafts and RapidoClip hoe blades are also available in a hard-faced version as an option. The service life of this variant is up to 5 times longer and is especially recommended for use on highly abrasive soils or where high outputs without downtime are required.

The optional wearing part carrier enables a sufficient number of new hoe blades and vibro-springs to be carried on-board. Parts for other areas of the machine can be stored in the toolbox where they are readily accessible. 

Burial protection with the hoe protection discs

The principle behind hoeing is "as early as possible". This means that the first passes with the hoe are performed during the early crop growth stages. Most crops are very sensitive to being buried with soil, particularly at these early growth stages. For this reason, AMAZONE offers different burial protection systems for various crops and row widths. Our active burial protection system enables working speeds to be doubled or tripled in those initial hoeing passes compared to use without hoe protection discs.
