Cucchi snc products

The bed former AS2 Cucchi is an agricultural machine used to create trunks, or beds, in the ground. The trunks are mounds of soil approximately 30 to 70 cm high with variable width. The machine is used for the cultivation of white asparagus, which must grow in the absence of sunlight to maintain its white color. Usually towed by a tractor, it is made up of a sturdy frame, two lateral rotors equipped with hoes which pick up the earth from the sides, crumble it and convey it via the paddles towards the bonnet which acts as a rear level.

The special construction of the ASU bedformer makes it ideal for soft beds with trapezoidal profile and not excessively compact for growing strawberries, asparagus, saffron, berries and similar crops demanding the formation of a soil mound. It can work centrally or shifted to the right and left within the profile of the tractor; in particular, it can be used under glass alongside the supports. The soil is fractured after removal and sent to the left, creating a mound for earthing up by means of an adjustable flap. The rear levelling plate sets the height of the mound and flattens it. Before using the machine, we recommend tillage of the soil for at least 20 cm depth. Can also be used for covering tunnels or for creating drainage channels, where the soil can be dispersed by spreading.

They are suitable for horticulture to fix quickly to the soil the plastic sheet that covers hothouses, also with small tractors. The tool burrows into the soil, so the soil is conveyed on the side: it forms the base of hothouses or tunnels fixing them. It is suitable for the creation or to clean little ditches or drains too.
