General Information

:

The ridger is used in sugarcane growing area of the country. It consists of rectangular frame made of mild steel angle or channels ection,3 -point hitch assembly, shanks and ridger body. The ridger body consists of two mouldboards, share, point and tie bars to vary the wingspan of ridgers. The share point is made from medium carbon steel or low alloy steel, hardened and tempered to about 42 HRC. Upon wearing or becoming dull the share point can be replaced. The ridger is operated in tilled soil by a tractor, the share point penetrates in the soil, ridger body displaces the .soil to both sides and a furrow is created. The soil mass between furrows forms a ridge. The depth of operation is controlled by hydraulic system of the tractor.
