Mechanical Weed Control Rethought

ON display for the first time at the Ripon Farm Services Show was the Zürn Top Cut Collect .
Especially intensive farming can lead to weeds developing resistances against herbicides .
Common methods are no longer effective and many chemicals lost their acceptance in society .
With this background , Zürn Harvesting developed an entirely new approach for mechanical weed control .
The Top Cut Collect is an intelligent combination of two tasks : Cutting the weed tops above the crops and collecting this material which contains the weed seeds .
Hygiene in the field is improved sustainably by reducing the weed seed bank in the soil .
This new implement is tractor-drawn with its own axle . The technological concept consists of two booms with a double-cut system and a cross conveyor belt behind .
A helix-shaped reel gently pushes the weeds from the knife section to the conveyor belt to avoid any losses at this critical point .
To get the dangerous load safely into the bin , another conveyor belt collects the material centrally .
Currently , the Top Cut Collect is available with 9 and 12 m working widths .
The Top Cut Collect is especially strong when fighting resistant grass weeds like black grass , wild oats or ryegrass .
