There are many variations of our GYMF, Rotary weeder series, and over time, this will only increase. Naming it is a difficult task.
For a while, we have been avoiding the problem that within a farm, it is sometimes necessary to work with different row spacings. A 2m and 2.5m row spacing vineyard is not uncommon within a farm. The machine consists entirely of BUSA Rotors, and it can be wider or narrower by one rotor if standard. The world doesn’t collapse because of this; obviously, you have to go back and forth in the row if it doesn’t cover it in one pass.
So, we made an additional row. On both sides, two telescopes, one rotor each. If we extend it with a pair of rotors, it becomes a larger machine. The prototypes were snapped up so quickly that we barely had time to look at them. We received feedback that it was a bit long. Fortunately, it doesn’t pull the tractors backward, but it could be shorter when turning. We thought about bringing the rows closer together, but that would harm the flow cross-section. We had wanted to do something like this for a long time anyway, so what if it lifted its rear end? Like a duck… its backside. That’s how the structure was born. An adjustable row spacing, rotary hoe weeder, in a foldable design.
