With tighter European regulations setting new standards for pesticide use, Kverneland has unveiled a new rotary hoe, Helios, which it says will offer a solution which fits with ‘sustainable farming’.

The Farming Independent travelled to the city of Soest in northeast Germany to see the Helios in action. The rotary hoe will be offered in working width from 3m rigid to 6.4m folding models.
