6.1 Basic procedure
Preconditions for a successful hoeing process
√ The crops stand in a straight and parallel row.
√ The working width is equal to the sowing or plant width. The more
precisely the seeds are sown, the closer the hoeing implement can
hoe to the crops.
√ The implement is mounted to the tractor on a level surface.
√ The hoeing implement tools that match the soil conditions have
been selected. The following applies here:
– Leading: Hoeing knife according to the principle shown below
( Ä page 55)
– Lateral tools for Intra-Row cultivation or lateral protection tools
– Trailing: Harrow
√ The weather and soil conditions are dry. The crop is then less
sensitive to mechanical stress. The weeds dry up on the surface.
The soil is not smeared.
√ The weed control success is greatest in the cotyledon stage to
three-leaf stage of the weed.
√ The ground clearance of the hoeing implement is:
– 50 cm for Basic-Elements (with special equipment 70 or
100 cm)
– 70 cm for Combi-Elements and TRS-Elements
√ If the user wants to lift and lower the hoeing elements with GPS
control, sowing must also be done with the GPS system.
√ When working with Section Control:
– The contours of the eld edges and the contours of the trans‐
verse rows where hoeing elements are to be lifted and lowered
are recorded by the GPS system.
– The control has been set for the current crop.
√ When working with GPS steering discs: The tracks recorded during
sowing can be called up on the operation terminal.
1. Align the toolbar and the parallelograms horizontally.
2. Ensure that the hoeing implement is suitable for the crop condi‐
tion.

3. Ensure that the distances between the hoeing elements and the
tools are correct.
