The Spapperi is a tractor-mounted inter-row weeder and seeder unit that delivers precision mechanical weed removal and simultaneous seed planting. Perfect for vegetable, herb, pulse, and organic crops, it improves crop cleanliness while planting, all via your tractor’s front linkage.
Fine-Tuned Weed Control in Your Crop Rows
The Spapperi system integrates under-row cultivation with seed delivery, offering a dual-action tool for organic and vegetable growers. Mounted on the front linkage, it guides the row using depth-adjusting wheels and then either weeds using tines or places seed directly via pressurized hoppers. This approach ensures precise seed placement and effective weed control in a single pass.
The modular design allows for configurations of 2 to 6 rows—and larger—across 25–75 cm row spacing. Its pivoting frame and independent row units maintain uniform contact and depth in varying ground conditions. It’s suitable for root vegetables, brassicas, legumes, herbs, pulse crops and more.
