About Us
The dual-ridge ridger is a highly efficient, multi-functional
agricultural implement specifically designed for modern farming.
This ridger simultaneously performs multiple operations in a single
pass—trenching, soil fragmentation, ridge formation, and shaping—to
create two uniform, robust ridges of consistent specification.
Primarily employed for pre-planting soil preparation of
ridge-cultivated crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts,
tobacco, vegetables (including spring onions and ginger), and
sugarcane, this ridger is also suitable for creating drainage
ditches within fields.
Core Value: The dual-ridge ridger significantly enhances ridging
efficiency while reducing labour intensity; it produces uniformly
shaped ridges conducive to standardised planting, irrigation, and
management, creating optimal soil conditions for crop growth and
ultimately achieving increased yields and income.

Product Highlights
- Dual-ridger synchronisation: This ridger forms two ridges in a
single pass, doubling the efficiency of single-ridge machines
- Powerful drive compatibility: The ridger is compatible with
multiple tractor models ranging from 50 to 90 horsepower, offering
broad adaptability.
- Neat, high-quality ridge formation: It produces tall, full ridges
with finely crumbled soil and excellent surface coverage.
- Height Adjustability: This ridger allows flexible customisation of
ridge height, spacing, and surface width to meet agronomic
requirements.
- Robust Durability: Key components utilise high-strength steel and
premium wear-resistant blades for extended service life.
- User-Friendly Operation: Simple hitching and straightforward
calibration ensure ease of use for farmers.
Structure and Working Principle
- Hitch: Connects the ridger to the tractor's three-point hitch
system, responsible for lifting and transmitting power.
- Drive System (Rotary Tiller Type): Driven by the tractor's power
take-off shaft (PTO), transmitting power to the cutter shaft via a
gearbox or chain case.
- Working Components (Core) of the Ridger:
- Rotary Cutter Shaft/Furrow Plough Blade: Responsible for cutting
through soil and performing initial loosening and crumbling.
- Ridge-forming Plough Body (one set per side): Pushes loosened soil
towards the centre and turns it upwards to form ridger
- Shaping Plate/Compaction Wheel: Compresses and shapes the
preliminarily formed ridges on the ridger, making them more solid
with a smooth surface to prevent collapse.
- Adjustment Mechanisms on the Ridger:
- Ridge Height Adjustment: Achieved by adjusting the angle and depth
of penetration of the levelling board or plough body.
- Depth Adjustment: Controlled via the tractor's hydraulic suspension
system to regulate overall soil penetration depth.
- Operating Principle of the Ridger: The tractor advances while
providing rotational power. The machine first loosens the soil
using blades or ploughshares. Subsequently, the ridge-forming
plough bodies on both sides squeeze and pile the loosened soil
along a predetermined central path. Finally, the shaping components
compact and set the soil, forming two continuous ridges.
Applicable scenarios
- Crops: Potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, tobacco, spring onions,
ginger, garlic, sugarcane, strawberries, medicinal herbs, and all
other crops requiring ridge cultivation – this ridger is ideally
suited for them all.
- Fields: The ridger is suitable for large to medium-sized plots
across plains, hillsides, and terraced fields, particularly
well-suited for large-scale operations, cooperatives, and family
farms.
- Soil Conditions: This ridger is suitable for dryland, sandy loam,
clay, and various other soil types (operate at appropriate times
for excessively heavy or waterlogged soils).
Operating and Maintenance Guide
- Before Operation on the Ridger:
- Ensure all component bolts of the ridger are securely fastened and
grease points are lubricated.
- Pre-adjust ridge spacing and height according to planting
requirements.
- Correctly couple the ridger with the tractor, ensuring safe
universal joint transmission.
- During Operation of the Ridger:
- Engage the power take-off shaft whilst in the raised position. Idle
for 1-2 minutes; proceed with soil engagement only after confirming
no abnormalities.
- Select an appropriate gear and maintain a steady forward speed to
ensure uniform ridge formation.
- Avoid high-speed forced operation of the ridger on hard ground or
plots containing large stones or tree roots.
- After Maintenance:
- Following completion of work, remove soil and weeds from the
ridger.
- Inspect blades and fasteners for wear; replace or tighten promptly.
- For extended storage, lubricate all moving parts and exposed metal
surfaces of the ridger, apply rust-proofing treatment, and store in
a dry location.
Selection Guidelines
- Define Requirements: Identify your primary crops and the required
ridge specifications (height, width, spacing) to select the
appropriate ridger.
- Match Power: Select a ridger model based on your tractor's
horsepower rating to ensure optimal performance.
- Assess Quality: When evaluating a ridger, focus on blade shaft
material, gearbox sealing integrity, overall steel thickness, and
welding techniques.
- Choose Configuration: Determine whether the ridger requires
additional features such as mulch film applicators or fertiliser
boxes to enable combined operations.
FAQ
Q:What horsepower tractor is suitable for this seeder?
A:The seeder itself runs well with 30–50 HP. If pairing with a
double-ridge ridger, 50–70 HP works for light soils, while 70–90 HP
is recommended for heavy clay or deep ridging.
Q:What are the advantages of a double-ridge ridger over a
single-row one?
A:Covers two ridges in one pass, cutting field time in half. Both
ridges form simultaneously with consistent height and width. Fewer
tractor passes also mean less soil compaction. Though pricier
upfront, per-hectare operating costs are lower.
Q:What key components should I check when buying a ridger?
A:Blade material (wear-resistant steel), drive type (all-gear drive
outlasts gear-and-chain), bearing brand, adjustment mechanism
(smooth with clear markings), and overall weight (heavier usually
means sturdier).
Q:What is the recommended operating speed for ridging?
A:Typically 3–5 km/h for best ridge quality. Do not exceed 8 km/h.
Reduce speed in clay or wet conditions.
Q:Why do the ridges sometimes collapse or lose shape?
A:Check soil moisture—ideal when it holds in your hand but crumbles
when dropped. Slow down if going too fast. Adjust the mouldboard
angle for more side compression. Adding press wheels also helps
firm up the ridges.
