Vine shoot rake CEK series

rotary

The TERRAL Grinder frame / Kress is a chassis designed to carry TERRAL crumbler discs and Kress tools for mechanical maintenance and weed control in the cavaillon (area under vine rows). It enables mechanical elimination of weeds without phytopharmaceutical products and can be mounted on the front or rear of a tractor. The frame is sized to work two half-rows simultaneously.

Product overview

• Function: Tool carrier specifically built to accept TERRAL crumbler discs and Kress implements for cavaillon maintenance and mechanical weeding.
• Use: Works with Kress crushing discs and tools; suitable for most soils (clay, limestone, sandy, stony). Not recommended on very hard soils to avoid damage to the machine and vines.
• Operation: The chassis must be equipped with crumbler discs and Kress tools to perform a complete operation: discs cut and project soil onto the cavaillon while Kress tools re-compact and stir soil close to the vines.
• Capacity: Designed to process two half-rows simultaneously for efficient inter-row maintenance.
