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.
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 Mission
Feldklasse stands for efficient, environmentally responsible and profitable agriculture. We develop hoeing technology that delivers real added value for farms – in the field, within the crop and in everyday work.Our Values
Feldklasse stands for technology that not only works, but also supports responsible agriculture.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?
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.
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.
2022
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.
2021
If you’re going to do it, do it properly. New name, new website, new corporate design. Feldklasse is fresh, colourful and multifaceted.
2020
Going international: exciting sales projects in France and the United Kingdom mean that Feldklasse is now active beyond the DACH region.
2019
The version for bed-grown crops is added, optionally with automatic steering. This expands the customer base to include large-scale farms.
2018
Official founding, initially under the name DULKS. In the spirit of international understanding, André Dülks drops the umlaut dots from the company name.
2017
At AGRITECHNICA, we present our hoe for ridge cultivation for the first time. Instead of breaking up crusts, it attracts plenty of interest.
