Weeding machine Strig

Mechanical inter-row weeding

“STRIG” weeding machine with fixed or sliding frame; configurable with multiple inter-row parallelogram elements equipped with support wheels for inter-row cultivation

SARCHIATRICE STRIG

 

 

The STRIG inter-row weeder is designed to operate on narrow inter-row spacings starting from 6 cm, typical of baby leaf crops or closely sown species such as basil. Thanks to its compact and modular structure, it can be used during the early growth stages of the crop, even on silty soils with moderate presence of stones—conditions where the Colibrì weeder cannot operate.

Each STRIG element is independent and mounted on offset bars, a configuration that allows for precise alignment with the sowing rows while keeping overall dimensions compact.

Each element consists of:

  • a support wheel to ensure consistent working depth,

  • a tine or interchangeable disc that works directly in the inter-row space.

The tools can be adapted according to the crop, its growth stage, and the soil type (including stony soils).

The frame is available in two versions:

  • Hydraulic version with lateral translation, equipped with an automatic camera system for active row guidance,

  • Operator-controlled version, with seat and joystick for manual steering.

Technical features

Fixed frame

Support wheels adjustable in height

Applicable to various frames maintains machine alignment.

 

Hydraulic translator frame, fixed wheels, Joystick guidance and operator’s seat of your choice.

The frame consists of 2 sections: one fixed attached to the tractor and the second that operated by hydraulic cylinders.
The guide through a joystick (which can be removable) acts by translating the elements placed on the second frame.
Suitable for heavier machines. Operator is required when automatic camera is not present.

Mounts 320 mm, 400 mm, 500 mm crested wheels.

STRIG Element

The element consists of a support wheel to follow ground level, and a tine or interchangeable disc that works in the inter-row space.

The tools can be adapted depending on the crop, its growth stage, and the type of soil, including conditions with stones.

Flex springs

Mounted on spikes placed on the directional wheels, they lift and break the tractor track.

 

HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM WITH JOYSTICK AND CAMERA + MONITOR 

A high-contrast HD camera mounted in front of 2/3 sown rows projects images onto a 12V 10’5 monitor located in the cab.

Used in aid of RTK automatic guidance on the tractor: the tractor driver controls the direction of the machine from the cab by acting on the sideshifter, precisely correcting any errors in trajectory.

 

 

AUTOMATIC GUIDANCE SYSTEM WITH CAMERA

A special camera, mounted in front of the machine, detects the predominant “green” color of the crops and the predominant “red” color of the soil.

A dedicated software processes the two preset color zones, identifying two distinct areas and enabling the system to correct and maintain the machine’s trajectory using the lateral-shift frame.

Thanks to a monitor installed in the cabin, the operator can view a panoramic image of the transplanted rows along with the real-time guidance path processed by the software.

Integration with Agriculture 4.0 Systems
The machine is equipped for data transfer in compliance with current national regulations, enabling full integration into Agriculture 4.0 systems. This functionality is a prerequisite to access the tax credit incentives provided by law.
