As the tractor advances at 5\u20138 km\/h, each ridging body cuts into the prepared soil, lifts it to both sides, and forms a symmetrical raised ridge with a planting furrow at the center. The result is three perfectly uniform ridges ready for seed potato placement, vegetable transplanting, or direct sowing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.8; color: #444;\">No PTO, no hydraulics, no powered components \u2014 the R-380 is entirely driven by the tractor&#8217;s forward movement and hitch hydraulics. This extreme simplicity makes it one of the most reliable and maintenance-free implements in any farm equipment inventory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.8; color: #444;\"><strong>Structural Composition:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 15px 0; font-size: 14px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #f0f0f0;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; width: 30%;\"><strong>\u25b6 Ridging Bodies<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Three heavy-duty moldboard-type ridging bodies, each featuring a hardened steel share point and curved wings. The share cuts into the soil at the set depth; the wings lift and shape the soil into a symmetrical ridge. The body profile is optimized for potato ridge geometry \u2014 providing a wide, flat-topped ridge with stable slopes that resist erosion and rain wash.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"><strong>\u25b6 Adjustable Spacing Frame<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">A heavy-gauge steel toolbar with bolt-on clamps allows the row spacing to be adjusted to match regional standards \u2014 typically 75 cm (30 inches) for potatoes, but customizable for other crops such as sweet potatoes (90 cm), yams (100 cm), or vegetables (60\u201370 cm). Each ridging body can be repositioned independently.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #f0f0f0;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"><strong>\u25b6 Depth Control<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Furrow depth is controlled by adjusting the three-point hitch position from the tractor cab.

Primary crops include potato, sweet potato, yam, cassava, carrot, onion, garlic, leek, parsnip, and other root vegetables. The adjustable row spacing (60\u2013100 cm) and depth control make it versatile enough for virtually any ridge-planted crop.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 6px; padding: 15px;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #2a5c2a; margin-top: 0;\">Q2: Can the R-380 be used for potato hilling?<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0;\">Yes. The R-380 is widely used for both initial furrow creation before planting and post-emergence hilling passes to mound soil around growing potato plants. Hilling covers developing tubers (preventing greening from light exposure), improves drainage around the root zone, and helps control inter-row weeds.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 6px; padding: 15px;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #2a5c2a; margin-top: 0;\">Q3: What is the standard row spacing?<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0;\">The most common potato row spacing worldwide is 75 cm (30 inches). The R-380 ships configured for 75 cm but can be easily adjusted to 60\u2013100 cm by repositioning the ridging bodies along the toolbar using the bolt-on clamp system. Tell us your required spacing when ordering and we will pre-set the machine to your specification.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 6px; padding: 15px;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #2a5c2a; margin-top: 0;\">Q4: How many hectares per hour can the R-380 cover?<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0;\">At 75 cm row spacing and 5\u20138 km\/h working speed, the R-380 covers approximately 1.1\u20131.8 hectares per hour of ridged field (3 rows \u00d7 0.75 m \u00d7 5\u20138 km\/h). In real-world conditions with turning and overlapping, most operators achieve 1.0\u20131.5 hectares per hour of effective coverage.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 6px; padding: 15px;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #2a5c2a; margin-top: 0;\">Q5: Are the share points replaceable?<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0;\">Yes. Share points are standard bolt-on items, individually replaceable without special tools. Each share is also reversible \u2014 when one cutting edge wears, flip it to expose a fresh edge, effectively doubling service life. We supply replacement share sets at competitive prices with fast international shipping.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 6px; padding: 15px;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #2a5c2a; margin-top: 0;\">Q6: Does the R-380 work in stony soils?<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0;\">The R-380 handles moderately stony soils well \u2014 the hardened share points are designed for abrasive conditions. In very stony fields, we recommend first processing the land with a <a style=\"color: #2a5c2a; font-weight: bold;\" href=\"https:\/\/agriculturalstonecrusher.com\/zh\/\">stone crusher, rock rake, or stone picker<\/a> to remove or reduce the largest stones, then using the R-380 for furrow formation. This produces the best ridge quality and extends share-point life.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 6px; padding: 15px;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #2a5c2a; margin-top: 0;\">Q7: Does the R-380 require any PTO or hydraulics?<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0;\">No. The R-380 is entirely passive \u2014 it uses only the tractor&#8217;s forward movement and three-point hitch for operation. No PTO shaft, no hydraulic hoses, no powered components. Attach to the three-point hitch, set the depth, and drive.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 6px; padding: 15px;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #2a5c2a; margin-top: 0;\">Q8: Can the furrow depth be adjusted?<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0;\">Yes. Furrow depth is controlled by the tractor&#8217;s three-point hitch height adjustment. Lower the hitch for deeper furrows; raise it for shallower ridges. Optional depth-control wheels or skids can be fitted for precise, consistent depth across uneven terrain.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 6px; padding: 15px;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #2a5c2a; margin-top: 0;\">Q9: Do you ship the R-380 internationally?<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0;\">Yes, we export worldwide. Production takes 15\u201320 days. We handle all export documentation and offer CIF or FOB pricing. The R-380&#8217;s compact size and 500 kg weight make it economical to ship \u2014 multiple units can fit in a single container.

After each season: inspect and replace or reverse worn share points; check all bolts and clamp tightness; clean soil residue from ridging bodies; inspect the three-point hitch pins and frame for wear or cracking; and apply a light coat of oil or grease to bare metal surfaces for storage.
