คราดหินแทรกเตอร์ AR รุ่น EW-4000

Ideal Tractor Compatibility & Daily Use

The EW-4000 AR Tractor Rock Rake is specifically engineered for the most common medium-power tractor segment in Europe – 100 to 140 hp machines such as John Deere 5E/6M, New Holland T5, Case IH Farmall, Fendt 300 Vario, Massey Ferguson 5700, or Kubota M7, or Claas Axos. With a moderate weight of only 1800–1900 kg and excellent balance, the tractor rock rake places minimal load on the tractor’s rear axle while still delivering a full 3.6 m working width. Operators consistently report that even on 110–120 hp tractors the machine maintains perfect hydraulic response and forward speed in typical European soils, making it the go-to agricultural rock rake for contractors and farmers who want maximum coverage without needing a 200+ hp tractor.

How the EW-4000 AR Works & Why It Is Different

The tractor mounted rock rake uses two counter-rotating rotors with high-strength spring-steel tines that aggressively lift stones, roots, woody debris, and trash to the surface while allowing fine soil to fall back through. Hydraulic angle adjustment lets the operator control windrow width and aggressiveness from the cab. The result is clean, neat windrows that can be collected immediately or left for a second pass with a stone picker. Unlike simple drag rakes that merely push material, the EW-4000 actively lifts and separates, dramatically reducing the number of passes required and leaving a smoother surface ready for seeding or cultivation. This makes it one of the most efficient heavy duty rock rakes available in the 3–4 m class.

Primary Applications & Extended Uses

Core agricultural uses: surface cleaning after ploughing or stubble cultivation, stone collection before seeding, potato and vegetable land preparation, reclaiming pasture land, removing volcanic rocks or glacial stones. Construction & landscaping: site cleaning before topsoiling, sports field renovation, golf course maintenance, equestrian arena preparation, park and cemetery works. Forestry & land reclamation: clearing logging debris, preparing fire breaks, cleaning access roads. Municipal contracts: beach cleaning (sand mode), roadside verge maintenance, landfill surface preparation.

Case 1 – Vegetable Farm, Westland Glasshouse Region, Netherlands (2024)

160-ha vegetable grower replaced two older 3 m rakes with one EW-4000 AR on a 130 hp New Holland T5. Result: reduced cleaning time by 38 %, collected 40–60 tonnes of stones per hectare in one pass, and achieved cleaner fields before carrot planting. Soil tilth improved noticeably, leading to more uniform emergence and easier mechanical weeding.

Case 2 – Golf Course Renovation, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands (2024)

Course superintendent used the EW-4000 AR behind a 115 hp tractor to remove stones and roots after re-levelling tees and fairways. The hydraulic windrow adjustment allowed precise control – clean windrows collected in a single follow-up pass with a loader, saving three weeks of hand labour and €22,000 in external contractor costs.

Case 3 – Vineyard & Orchard Maintenance, Rheinhessen, Germany (2024)

Contractor working steep slopes used the tractor rock rake on a 125 hp Fendt 300 Vario. The machine removed slate fragments and old vine roots without disturbing the soil structure, leaving terraces perfectly clean for new planting. Client reported the cleanest surface they had seen in 20 years of renovations.

Case 4 – Airfield Grass Runway Maintenance, Oostende Area, Belgium (2024)

Airfield operator cleaned the grass runway and taxi areas after winter damage using the EW-4000 AR on a 120 hp Case IH Farmall. Removed hundreds of stones brought up by frost heave in two days – preventing potential propeller damage and extending the life of mowing equipment.

Build Quality & Wear Parts

The frame is heavy-duty box-section steel with reinforced mounting points. Rotors run in sealed oil-bath bearings with replaceable without dismantling the gearbox. Tines are individual bolt-on spring steel units – when worn, only the tip section is replaced, keeping running costs low. Hydraulic cylinders are double-acting with built-in depth control, and all hoses are protected by spiral guards. Units in Brazil regularly exceed 4000–5000 hours with proper maintenance – the same durability is now proven in European conditions.
