The GH 6 is the ideal ridging hiller in combination with a 6-row potato planter or in separated beds. The GH 6 is the right choice for use on medium to large structured agricultural areas. The 6-row Ridging Hiller for use in 75 to 91.4 cm row distance. To enable a quick transfer from field to field, the GH 6 can optionally be equipped with a hydraulically folding main frame.
GRIMME GH ridging hillers enable the build up of large volume ridges for the cultivation of potatoes and vegetable on light soils. Compared to rotary hillers, the ridging hillers use a passive-shaping soil cultivation method. This helps to reduce tractor power requirements and enables higher coverage across the field. Depending on the soil type, a range of height-adjustable loosening tines can be used to loosen the soil. For optimum care of the ridges, the machine can be adapted to individual soil conditions with a wide range of options. Single row shaper allow easy running between the rows, even in bigger plants until canopy establishment.
Crops, which are grown in ridges, such as carrots or potatoes, tolerate only little competition from weeds until complete canopy establishment. For this reason, effective and accurate weed control is necessary to achieve a good yield. For growers of potatoes and vegetables, who want to destroy weeds without chemicals and build ridges simultaneously, a GH Eco Ridging hiller with integrated chopping technology is the perfect choice.

The GH 6 ridging hiller is designed to perform efficiently across various soil conditions, thanks to its multiple tine options that can be adapted to different field requirements. It offers effective mechanical weed control by undercutting and removing weeds from ridge flanks, helping to prevent regrowth without the use of chemicals. The machine also features an easily adjustable “Oeko” knife bracket, allowing operators to make quick and precise adjustments for optimal performance in changing conditions.
In addition, the GH 6 ensures smooth operation and convenience with its hydraulic folding frame, enabling safe transport and fast movement between fields. Its versatile 2-in-1 design allows for the attachment of single row shapers, which provide careful crop handling. These shapers can be used in potato crops from early emergence up to just before canopy establishment, ensuring efficient ridge maintenance throughout critical growth stages.
