Strawberry Topper

 

 

 

The Edwards Farm Machinery Strawberry Topper has been redesigned since Edwards Farm Machinery took over manufacturing the Teagle Strawberry Topper. We have now developed the offset model.

 

Standard Rear Mounted

 

This follows the tractor wheels and is PYO driven, has hydraulic depth wheels powered by the tractors external hydraulic service.

 

Offset Machine

 

This has been designed to enable topping of leg rows without damaging the tunnel with the tractor. This Machine is hydraulically driven and has an independent oil supply with a large reservoir to prevent oil over heating. The machine is fitted with hydraulic depth wheels so that there is very little pressure on the polythene sheet.

 

Dual Option

 

Offset and rear mounted machines can be coupled together to form the dual machine enabling two rows to be topped at once. Each machine can also be used independently.

 

Benefits of topping:

      • Vigorous re-growth

      • Reduce disease

      • Reduced labour

      • Tidy plants
