Bijlsma receiving hoppers with new design Bijlsma Hercules 20-80. This is the latest machine in the receiving hopper series that the manufacturer Bijlsma Hercules is marketing. It is the no. 1 in the new receiving hopper series, which has a new design and improved parts.

The machine still costs 29,500 euros excluding VAT. The Bijlsma Hercules 20-80 is the latest addition in the receiving hopper series. Baselier, manufacturer of cultivators and haulm strippers, was notably present at Agritechnica with a new 6-metre field cultivator. They were showing this machine at Agritechnica especially for the many visitors from abroad among whom many Russians, East-Europeans and – last but not least – Chinese.

According to the director, two big cultivators went to Russia again this year. Potato growers who have the space also use this machine as an inter-row rotary cultivator. You can make eight 75 cm ridges within this working width. Thanks to a special suspension construction, both parts of the cultivator can accommodate any soil unevenness without a problem.
