When tradition and innovation in Agtech are perfectly combined, it is called Feldklasse.

First there was manual work. Then came hoeing machines. Then chemicals. Then environmental awareness. Suddenly hoeing machines were interesting again, if only they could be more precise and efficient. This was the birth of Feldklasse – whose new approach has meant a veritable revolution in vegetable cultivation.

Close, closer, Feldklasse.

Thanks to its clever technique, Feldklasse gets closer to the row than any other machine, allowing for a side clearance as small as 1.5 cm. Weeds are removed cleanly, without harming the crop. That way, you can work 70% more efficiently than by hand-weeding, and 50% more efficiently than with competitors' hoeing machines.

Curious? We are glad to advise you personally.

Individual advice

The right one for each type of cultivation.

Feldklasse currently offers two models, a third one is under development. The Rukaby is specialised in bed cultivation, the Pacorel in ridges, and the Zurama will be designed for use in the field. What all machines have in common: an extreme precision and comfortable operation that you usually do not find in mechanical weeding.

Product overview

1,5

years is the average time it takes in case of a bed or ridge cultivation area of 37 acres, until our machines have paid for themselves.*

*in the basic configuration

The better hoeing technique – this is how it works:

Serrated disks loosen the soil

First, rotating serrated disks loosen the soil, without pushing it aside. Thus the vulnerable seedling remains unharmed, despite the small clearance. Soil structure is improved and the crust on it broken up so carefully that its clods cannot cause any damage.

Rotating blades remove the weeds

Now the rotating blades take action. The trick: their rotation speed is twice as fast as that of the serrated washers. This makes them able to lever out root weeds, seed weeds and grass weeds, catapulting them to the surface. Thanks to this technique, weed roots are freed of soil effectively. Besides the speed facilitates self-cleaning, so that stones, larger weed quantities or mulch material in the soil are no problem.

Infinite flexibility

Since the tools can be freely positioned, it is possible to work single, double and triple rows. That way, you can meet the individual needs of the most diverse crop types, without having to use a different device.

Uncompromising comfort

Despite its mechanical operation, Feldklasse offers modern convenience in non-chemical weed control. You would like to be economical with your strength and always have a clear view of everything? Optionally, hydraulic steering and a camera can assist you with easy and accurate hoeing.

Supported by automatic steering – and the government.

If you appreciate a third hand, please lean back: our automatic steering system controls your hoe via image recognition – and is also recognised and supported by official funds.

Detail improvements

Better is the enemy of good. The Pacorel now is equipped with a support wheel, the Rukaby with divisible tools and automatic depth guidance.

New website

With a new name like Feldklasse comes great responsibility, so we also have done some weeding on our website. The result is right in front of you!

DULKS becomes Feldklasse.

After revolutionising hoeing technology, our company now revolutionises itself. The new brand name Feldklasse (field class) expresses, better than its founder name, what our products stand for: quality, closeness to nature and reliability in everyday practice.
