Team von Feldklasse vor einem Rapsfeld

Born from real-world experience. Built for unresolved challenges.

Feldklasse was created where hoeing technology has to perform: in the field. Founder André Dülks realised early on that there was still no ideal solution for many demanding applications. Rather than continuing to rely on manual labour, the family business developed its first prototypes for precision machines designed to work exactly where conventional hoeing technology reaches its limits. Feldklasse, then still known as DULKS, was officially founded at AGRITECHNICA 2017. Since then, we have been developing hoeing technology directly from practical agricultural experience.
Our ambition: To build precision hoeing technology that solves real problems, not in a brochure, but in the crop.

Hoeing technology for real challenges in the field

Feldklasse develops application- and needs-oriented hoeing machines. We do not build technology for tasks that already have good solutions. We focus on the challenges that farms genuinely need to overcome.

Our machines are designed to enable positive developments in the field:
more economical for farmers, more comfortable for employees and more environmentally friendly.

Our hoeing technology: Which machine suits your cultivation system?

Feldklasse develops precision hoeing technology for crops where standard solutions quickly reach their limits. The decisive factor is not just the machine, but the question: What grows in your field and how is it cultivated?

Bed cultivation with rocket, baby leaf, lamb’s lettuce or carrots? Rukaby
Narrow row spacing from 5 cm and sensitive young plants? Rukaby
Ridges with double rows or fine-seeded crops? Pacorel
Parsnips, carrots or other vegetables up to approximately 11 cm in height? Pacorel
Still unsure? Tell us your crop, row spacing and cultivation system. We will assess which Feldklasse hoeing technology is the right fit for your farm.

Zurama and modular system: flexible for your application

The Zurama hoes not only between the rows, but also within the row. This enables particularly thorough mechanical weed control.

Control weeds between and within the rows? Zurama
Retrofit an existing frame or reconfigure the machine? Modular system
Camera-guided or electrohydraulic steering? Adapted to the application
Choose tool units and rotary hoes flexibly? Individually configurable
The goal: Precision hoeing technology that suits your cultivation system, your frame and your farm.

Our Story

2023

In spring, the new warehouse and the building for prototype production will become operational. In autumn, assembly will be set up in the expanded facilities. This will allow Feldklasse to once again manufacture 100% in-house.

Another milestone: the first Zurama selective hoes will be delivered to pilot customers.

Feldklasse is now also active in arable farming.

The Zurama selective hoe has successfully cleared its first fields of weeds and will be delivered in small quantities as test machines in 2023.

If you’re going to do it, do it properly. New name, new website, new corporate design. Feldklasse is fresh, colourful and multifaceted.

Going international: exciting sales projects in France and the United Kingdom mean that Feldklasse is now active beyond the DACH region.

The version for bed-grown crops is added, optionally with automatic steering. This expands the customer base to include large-scale farms.

Official founding, initially under the name DULKS. In the spirit of international understanding, André Dülks drops the umlaut dots from the company name.

At AGRITECHNICA, we present our hoe for ridge cultivation for the first time. Instead of breaking up crusts, it attracts plenty of interest.
