CMN - Couch Grass Killers
The CMN couch grass killer, your optimum solution for the uprooting of root weeds like couch grass, dock, thistle, and other root weeds. Tufts of grass can be effectively crushed when reallocating old meadows and seed fields. The CMN couch grass killer cuts through the field by means of the tines of the strong stubble harrow, which is equipped with 48 cm wide wing shares. The earth has now been loosened up for a slow-moving pickup that rotates against the direction of motion. By churning up the soil, the pickup gathers organic material, such as roots of couch grass, thistle, mugwort etc, and exposes it. The combination of the low speed of the pickup and the high volume weight of the soil ensures that soil and stones pass under the pickup, whereas the organic material will be dragged over the pickup and left on the soil for drying or collection.
