2025 Lemken EC-Weeder Base

2025 Lemken EC-Weeder

• Customisable hoeing machine

• Row spacing from 15 to 150 cm, customised working widths up to 13 m

The EC-Weeder is suitable for all crops that are sown in rows. It can be configured to the farmer's specific requirements, taking into account the crop, soil conditions, row spacing and tractor track width.

Features may include:

The basic configuration of a hoeing machine consists of a frame, support wheels and hoeing elements, which can be adapted to the respective crops and soil conditions using a wide range of tools. All variants are available as a base frame or with an integrated steering frame (V version). The V-versions offer the option of control via joystick, row switch or camera.

The Combi element is suitable for medium and heavy soils with row spacings of 20 to 80 cm. It comes with a maintenance-free parallelogram supported by a ball bearing as standard.

• Frame height is 70 cm, also suitable for larger crops

• Short version with one holder with up to three blades

• Long version with up to five knives.

• Depth control wheel with stepless adjustment of the working depth using a scale

The hoeing elements can be adapted to individual conditions using a variety of tools.

The EC-Weeder in the V version or in combination with the separate EC-Steer steering frame can be steered in various ways.

The IC-Light automatic camera control system enables precise and fatigue-free hoeing day and night on the basis of camera images processed by the terminal and job computer.

The IC-Light camera system on the steering frame of the EC-Weeder V or on the EC-Steer consists of a camera, work lights, joystick and terminal. One camera recognises up to five rows of plants and enables:

• Hoeing as close as 2 cm to crop plants

• Forward speeds of up to 15 km/h

The EC-Weeder can be individually equipped with hoeing elements and tools to suit the site, and the IC-Light camera control system provides a steering system that is not only precise, but also enables stress-free and convenient care work. Working in 3 beds is just as possible as the combination with SprayHub and SprayKit for band spraying or fertilising.

The 3-bed version of the EC-Weeder is also precisely matched to your crop and cultivation method. A longer element in the track or in the areas next to the beds respectively ensures reliable, full-surface cultivation. The 3-bed implement is also available with independent control for even greater precision. Each bed is hoed individually thanks to three cameras and three parallel steering frames – regardless of whether the crop was planted in a 3-bed or a 1-bed system. This allows beds to be tilled regardless of the planting or seeding method used.

With our application technology for liquids, consisting of the SprayHub front tank and the SprayKit application unit, we have extended the range of applications of the EC-Weeder to include the option of band spraying in the row or the application of liquid fertiliser.
