humus-PLANET
The humus-PLANET has been developed for mechanical weed control. The tree strip or vine row is processed at a uniform depth.
The implement is available for single-sided use or dual-sided use.
A brush rotates above the implements, the brush also supplies the last weed, directly adjacent to the trunk, to the implement. Equipped with the electro-hydraulic precision control system the humus-PLANET works with the utmost precision right up to trunk.

The humus PLANET can be hydraulically adapted to every terrain contour.
Well proven range of use
- Vineyards and orchards
- Managed grassland with fruittress
- Berry cultures
Mode of operation
- The weed is pulled out with the root and then chopped (mulching cultivation).
- The soil gets a crumbly texture and it stays where it should (no displacement of soil).
- The implement does not clog and works equally well in wet or dry, light or heavy, sandy or rocky soils.
- The weed brush even removes the last island of weeds directly on the trunk.
Equipment features
- Mounting: front or rear
- Frame with tool extension arm and rotary tillerhead (optional rotary tillerhead in working widths of 30 cm or 40 cm, PE 2500 also available with rotary tiller head 60 cm), alternatively with mulching head
- Hydraulic drive
- Electro-hydraulic fine control
- Drive for tilting the rotary tiller head (only for PE 1400)
- Universal mounting plate
Accessories / special equipment
