The Hatzenbichler Maishacke 12-R is a row crop cultivator designed for inter-row weeding and soil cultivation in maize and other arable crops. Hatzenbichler is an established German manufacturer of precision cultivation equipment, known for producing implements that combine mechanical and hydraulic innovation for modern farming operations.
This 2021 machine is configured with a 75 centimetre row spacing and features 11 parallel programmes, allowing operators to select working parameters suited to different soil and crop conditions. The implement is mounted at the rear (Heckanbau) and equipped with hydraulic fold-away capability for transport and storage. The working width is achieved through a combination of passive tines: each row position carries three S-tines, while the two outer S-tines on either side are complemented by 1500 millimetre goose-foot shares (Gänsefußschare), which lift and aerate soil while controlling lateral weed movement.
The machine is fitted with plant protection discs to shield crop rows during cultivation. Steering and depth control are managed through a heavy-duty XL sliding frame (Verschieberahmen Heavy XL), supported by two ground wheels that maintain consistent working height. The tractor track width is specified as 1.50 metres, ensuring compatibility with standard European row-crop configurations.
This unit includes camera-guided automation: a new 3D camera system integrated with an onboard computer enables precision steering and position control. LED working lights are installed for operations requiring visibility outside daylight hours. The optical condition is reported as very good (sehr gut). The machine is located in Germany and is priced at $31,000.
