Abstract

The present invention relates to a flexible weeder for sowings of one or more rows with short inter-row spacings of 5 to 7 cm and up to 20 cm for different crops, driven by hydraulic motors and connected to the hydraulic system of the tractor to draw power therefrom. The weeder comprises the following systems: a suspension system, a cutting system with discs, a transmission system, a travel system (first embodiment), which includes a leveling system in a second embodiment, and a main structure. The tip of the cutting discs penetrates enough into the soil to remove and loosen roots within the optimum weeding time. The discs comprise blades that penetrate, cutting the roots of weeds or turning over the soil enough to expose the roots of any unwanted vegetation to the sunlight.
