Key features – ActiVAgro tined weeder activator


ActiVAgro weeder in the field – weed elimination without chemicals.



The ideal alternative to chemical weed control

The ActiVAgro weeder is a versatile unit used not only for standard crops but also for the maintenance of grasslands. It serves as an excellent alternative to chemical weed control. The primary function of the harrow is to minimize weed presence and break up surface crust. The ActiVAgro is also effective for harrowing freshly sown areas before the plants enter the emergence phase. Weeds can be removed immediately after growth or even earlier, during the germination phase, where they dry out and die when left on the soil surface. The weeder features standard hydraulic frame folding, which adapts to the terrain during operation, ensuring even pressure distribution. The angle of the harrow tines can be adjusted mechanically or hydraulically from the tractor cabin using actuators. This design ensures consistent performance across each working section of the harrow.

A single device applicable to various crop types

The primary function of the weeder is to rake turf and eliminate molehills in meadows. This tool is highly effective in eradicating weeds in cereals and legumes. It is applicable to various crops, including rapeseed, other cereals, vegetables, corn, sugar beets, potatoes, soybeans, peas, pumpkins, grasslands, and meadows. With extended working widths, the weeder excels in adapting to ground conditions and ensuring smooth operation. The machine is designed to provide specific benefits, such as reduced chemical usage, improved conditions for plant growth, and weed protection. Additionally, it aerates the soil, which is vital for optimal plant growth. The substantial working width enhances efficiency. The device can also be equipped with an APV catch crop seeder with either a pneumatic or hydraulic blower.

Designed for durability and comfort

Available working widths range from 6.00 m to 12.00 m. None of the versions exceed 3 m transport width due to the hydraulic scissor arm folding system, allowing maximum reduction of transport width and height. The device is mounted on a 3-point suspension system. Each working section is 1.5 m wide and consists of 48 tines arranged in 6 rows. The weeder is constructed on a solid frame, with each working part mounted individually on a swing arm. This design effectively mirrors the terrain. The machine enables the destruction of weeds at an early development stage through specially profiled spring working elements.

Machine construction



1. Rear LED lighting beam

The machine can be optionally equipped with LED lighting mounted on an adjustable extension beam.

2. Three-point linkage

The massive suspension system functions as a load-bearing component of the weeder. The robust tower of the three-point suspension system ensures the machine’s durability and load resistance. The upper link is configured for two positions: smooth operation and rigid transport.

3. Supporting wheels

The support wheels feature mechanical height and spacing adjustments to accommodate various inter-row types. The quantity of wheels is determined by the working width and the chosen version.

4. Working elements

The working element comprises specially shaped 7 mm or 8 mm diameter teeth made of hardened spring wire, ensuring long service life and resistance to cracks. The vibrations of the teeth, combined with the appropriate working speed, achieve a comprehensive surface effect with very shallow soil processing.

5. Spring Cover

Each tine winding is shielded by a specialized cover with a gutter structure, offering extra protection to crops against damage from jamming or impact.

6. Rear levelling scrapers

At the rear of the weeder, leveling scrapers can optionally be installed to further smooth the field surface after harrowing and to distribute any weed residues left on the field surface.

7. Adjusting the spring angle

The angle of the working section can be adjusted mechanically or hydraulically using convenient spacer clips. The more clips used, the shallower the work. This solution ensures an even effect in each working section of the harrow.

8. Spring working depth

The device is guided within the tractor’s tracks by two wheels, which set the working depth of the functional elements. The weeder maintains a fixed position relative to the field, with tines from all beams cultivating the soil at a specified working depth.

9. Support legs

The weeder can be stored in a folded position due to two support feet, conserving space during storage.

10. PREMIUM working elements

The machine employs internationally recognized soil cultivation systems, utilizing readily available high-quality components from specialized suppliers.

11. Solid oversized machine frame

The solid frame construction is the most critical element of the cultivation machine. The substantial amount of steel used in its construction makes these robust tools capable of utilizing the high power of modern agricultural tractors, ensuring many years of operation on the farm.

12. Quality steel

Achieving a high-quality final product necessitates the use of superior metallurgical materials; therefore, in manufacturing the agricultural machine frame, we utilize fine-grained Swedish steels S500MC and S700MC.

13. Laser processing of sheets, tubes, and profiles

The application of laser techniques in the production of agricultural machinery facilitates precise cutting in high-quality, hard sheets, where conventional chip drilling methods are challenging and costly.

14. Steel shot blasting and powder coating

Proper preparation of machine parts combined with powder coating ensures a durable and robust coating. Additional maintenance and complicated care are unnecessary.

Cultivation tools

Spring tines of ActiVAgro tined weeder activator – 7 mm and 8 mm diameter for improved efficiency.

Cultivation tines

All tasks are performed by 7 mm (optionally 8 mm) spring tines arranged in 6 rows. The spacing between the tines is optimized through extensive testing in various soil conditions and different crops. This ensures consistent cultivation intensity across the entire working width and between rows. When using the ActiVAgro harrow, achieving uniform weeding was prioritized. An optimal vibration effect is achieved through the triple coiling of the spring. Lateral vibration of the tines combined with driving speed results in comprehensive processing. The extended tip of the harrow tine prolongs its service life. The optimized bending angle of the working element ensures effective weed elimination and crust breaking during harrowing. These tines have also proven effective in different crops, as the longer tines adapt better to uneven soil.

Mechanical weeding – ActiVAgro weeder as an alternative to herbicides.

Mechanical weeding

With the advent of herbicides, it was anticipated that mechanical methods of weed control would decline in popularity. However, this did not occur, as some farmers consciously and voluntarily chose to forgo chemicals in their fields, opting instead for proven mechanical methods. Interest in weeders is not limited to organic farmers. The withdrawal of certain herbicides has also increased interest among conventional farmers. Currently, an increasing number of growers, including traditional ones, are turning to mechanical weeding for their crops. Consequently, Rolmako has introduced ActiVAgro to the market—a weeder in a new version. The decline of active substances, issues with the availability of plant protection products, and rising costs have led agricultural producers to increasingly adopt alternative, mechanical methods of weed control. The ActiVAgro weeder is a user-friendly and durable tool that meets the modern farmer's requirements for efficient weeding of both cereals and grass fields.
