Ridger is a primary soil tillage machine is mounted and trailed from tractor’s hydraulic lifting unit and universal three point linkage system. Therefore transportation to the field can be easily done.
Furrow opener is placed over the chassis. It has an opportunity to enter between rows as demanded width due to its adjustable moldboards.
The usage aim of the machine is to open furrows between rows and ridging for row-planted seeds such as; corn, sunflower, cotton, etc.
Traditionally farmers in semi-arid areas in Eastern Sudan harvest water for agriculture by manual construction of terraces that consume high levels of physical effort and time. During 2007 a Practical Action Food Security Project in Kassala introduced a ridge maker for terrace erection as an appropriate technology that is cost-effective and suitable for the local environment whilst still achieving the technical standard required. The ridge maker is superior to other methods of terrace construction in terms of both quality and cost.
The ridge maker is a tool usually pulled by a tractor to form ridges that form the terrace. It is very fast at constructing terraces; it can complete 100 meters of terrace in one minute. This means it takes just four minutes to construct a crescent shaped terrace spanning five feddans, see pictures.
