Bed former AS2 Cucchi

The bed former AS2 Cucchi is an agricultural machine used to create trunks, or beds, in the ground. The trunks are mounds of soil approximately 30 to 70 cm high with variable width. The machine is used for the cultivation of white asparagus, which must grow in the absence of sunlight to maintain its white color. Usually towed by a tractor, it is made up of a sturdy frame, two lateral rotors equipped with hoes which pick up the earth from the sides, crumble it and convey it via the paddles towards the bonnet which acts as a rear level. The “trunk” created has a very soft trapezoidal profile, leveled at the sides and surface. Thanks to the versatile and multiple adjustments (distance between the furrows, working depth, shape of the box) it is able to create customized boxes of different shapes and sizes, even of considerable size. It is particularly suitable for shaping asparagus, strawberries, saffron and other crops that require such processing.

• Mass Kg 850 minimum, variable depending on the frame and rotors
• Working width of rotors cm 50 or cm 60
• Max working depth 40 cm
• Min-max distance between rows cm 125-180 (applying different transmission devices)
• Trunk height from 30 to max cm 70
• Min power required:  Kw 60 (Hp 80)

• Versatile with extremely robust construction
• Open field and greenhouse use
• Creation of beds of various sizes
• It can work on tenacious soils and with not perfect preparation
• Creation of uniform and regular trunks: the trunks created by the AS2 bed former are uniform in terms of width, height, depth and this guarantees uniform growth of the shoots.
