__ When tradition and innovation in Agtech are perfectly combined, it is called Feldklasse.

First there was manual work. Then came hoeing machines. Then chemicals. Then environmental awareness. Suddenly hoeing machines were interesting again, if only they could be more precise and efficient. This was the birth of Feldklasse – whose new approach has meant a veritable revolution in vegetable cultivation.

Close, closer, Feldklasse.

Thanks to its clever technique, Feldklasse gets closer to the row than any other machine, allowing for a side clearance as small as 1.5 cm. Weeds are removed cleanly, without harming the crop. That way, you can work 70% more efficiently than by hand-weeding, and 50% more efficiently than with competitors’ hoeing machines.

Curious? We are glad to advise you personally.

In addition to expertise in vegetable cultivation, soil conditions and weather, successful crop protection above all depends on the right hoeing equipment. One key factor is the precise row guidance of the hoeing machine: our camera-guided hoeing implements make a major contribution to Feldklasse’s accuracy.

Thanks to their sophisticated technology, Feldklasse gets closer to the row than any other machine. This makes a lateral clearance of just 1.5 cm possible. Weeds are removed cleanly without damaging the crop. This allows you to work 70% more efficiently than hand weeding and 50% more efficiently than with competitors’ hoeing machines.

First-class hoeing machines for every cultivation method.

Feldklasse hoeing machines are available in four variants. What they all have in common is outstanding precision and ease of use — qualities that are often missing in mechanical weed control.

_Rukaby

The Feldklasse Rukaby is specially designed for raised beds. It enables hoeing starting from a row spacing of just 5 cm and allows extremely close operation of up to 1 cm. This makes it particularly gentle on sensitive young plants. The hoeing machine is suitable for all soil types.

_Pacorel
The Feldklasse Pacorel enables hoeing in ridge cultivation and is the first to work double and triple rows. This allows cost savings of up to 50% compared to other hoeing machines. It is suitable for all soil types.

_Zurama
The Feldklasse Zurama is the latest model and is designed for use in open fields. This selective hoe works both within and between the plant rows, allowing weeds to be removed across the entire area. One special technical highlight: the hoeing machine uses AI-based plant recognition. The optical system was developed together with the Czech tech start-up Ullmanna.

The better hoeing technique – this is how it works:

Serrated disks loosen the soil

First, rotating serrated disks loosen the soil, without pushing it aside. Thus the vulnerable seedling remains unharmed, despite the small clearance. Soil structure is improved and the crust on it broken up so carefully that its clods cannot cause any damage.

Rotating blades remove the weeds

Now the rotating blades take action. The trick: their rotation speed is twice as fast as that of the serrated washers. This makes them able to lever out root weeds, seed weeds and grass weeds, catapulting them to the surface. Thanks to this technique, weed roots are freed of soil effectively. Besides the speed facilitates self-cleaning, so that stones, larger weed quantities or mulch material in the soil are no problem.

Infinite flexibility

Since the tools can be freely positioned, it is possible to work single, double and triple rows. That way, you can meet the individual needs of the most diverse crop types, without having to use a different device.

Uncompromising comfort

Despite its mechanical operation, Feldklasse offers modern convenience in non-chemical weed control. You would like to be economical with your strength and always have a clear view of everything? Optionally, hydraulic steering and a camera can assist you with easy and accurate hoeing.

years is the average time it takes in case of a bed or ridge cultivation area of 37 acres, until our machines have paid for themselves.*

»Feldklasse combines ecological aspects with well-engineered technology, empowering you to meet the challenges of modern farming. Because the environmental and political framework is constantly changing. We want to work with Nature, not against her.«

– André Dülks, Founder and Managing Director of Feldklasse GmbH

»We especially appreciate Feldklasse when, due to weather conditions, the false seed bed hasn't yet been able to sufficiently reduce weeds – or when herbicides prove ineffective.«

»Feldklasse allows for accurate hoeing between double rows. That saves us a lot of manual work. A simple technique with great effectiveness.«
