Successful farmers need to make the most of their time, energy and equipment. The best way to do that is by relying on high-quality equipment that saves you time and energy.
If you’re still farming like it’s 1950, then you’re doing something wrong. Today’s tractors are designed and built to deliver incredible power and efficiency for a wide variety of uses. Front hitches and PTOs help to transform today’s tractors into versatile machines that have the ability to do practically anything that requires extra effort.
Zuidberg’s three-point hitches and PTOs make tough Canadian operations easier, and can maximize the power of your tractor by performing two important tasks at the same time. Here are some of the most frequent ways that Canadian farmers use Zuidberg innovation on their farms:
Cut your time spent on the fields, and reduce soil compaction by using a rotavator on the front of your tractor, with a cultivator on the back.
A Zuidberg front PTO can be set up with a rotavator and give you better control over your tractor as you prepare a seed bed. The rear implement can plant your crop, all in one pass.
Every farmer has experienced the frustration of excessive tire slippage and tire wear because of improper weight ratios. Increase your productivity, increase the lifespan of your tires and make your work easier with ballasts on your tractor’s front end.
Use your mowing attachment at the front with a Zuidberg PTO, and at the rear (extended out to a side) to reduce the time spent mowing by up to 50%.
Push snow with your herculean Zuidberg three-point hitch, while you use your optional grader blade at the rear to clean up the rest.
Whether you’re clearing small driveways or entire roads, rely on Zuidberg’s front PTO to be there when you need it most.
Why lug your cumbersome chipper out to the bush, when you can simply attach a wood chipper to your versatile Zuidberg PTO? Hooking it up is easy, and within minutes you can be ready to transform dead branches into valuable wood chips.
All that weight on the back of your tractor can make a simple task like manure spreading far more challenging than it needs to be. Adding on a Zuidberg counterweight can make manure spreading at least a little more bearable.
Vineyards are unique agricultural properties, and require equally unique equipment to make your job easier. To improve your grapes air circulation, expose your fruit to more sunlight and improve grapes’ flavour, connect a fast and delicate leaf remover to your front PTO.
As you can see, the applications for three-point hitches and PTOs are practically endless.

After the great success of our “Handbook of Organic Farming”, we have once again summarized our knowledge and experience. We not only have decades of experience in organic farming, we also know what it takes to manage grassland successfully and sustainably!
Just in time for the start of the season, we present now our: “HANDBOOK OF GRASSLAND MANAGEMENT”!
Problems and solutions
The handbook deals extensively with various stress factors, reasons for damaging the turf in summer & fall and incorrect management practices. Many tips for solving these problems are explained comprehensively and in a practical manner.
Maintenance & reseeding of grassland
Periodic reseeding or rehabilitation? Which measure suits which type of grassland – the handbook describes the various maintenance measures in detail. In this way successfully grassland management is guaranteed.
Practical examples – Data | Facts | Figures
In the end, it’s the yield that counts: We have used various practical examples to calculate when reseeding is profitable and how much additional yield you can achieve within a very short period of time. In addition, we executed a year-long test and monitored the increase in milk production based on proper grassland management – a really exciting calculation!
Set yourself the goal of increasing the yield of your grassland and find out about the best practice to achieve it now! Because only FARM POWER guarantees your success!
We are looking forward to receiving your success story in the future!
Weeding in winter cereals
As soon as the soil is dry enough in spring, the first weeding operation can be done in winter cereals. Attention: patience is required here; it should be really dry! Weeding in spring with the AEROSTAR family has some advantages: Breaking the crust in spring ensures the soil is aerated and warms up faster. This means the vegetation can start earlier, the stalk develops better and tillering is stimulated. If the soil is very hard and crusted, a rotary hoe ROTARYSTAR can be used before weeding. After working with the ROTARYSTAR the soil is crumbly and therefore optimal for the next weeding pass. After the first operation, weeding can be carried out up to a crop height of 30-40 cm, if necessary. So you mobilise nutrients, control late-germinating weeds and prevent diseases, as well as create well-balanced growth conditions for the crop and microorganisms.
No weeding when there is a risk of frost!
For weeding in Spring, it is important to make sure that no late frosts during night are expected a few days after weeding. Weeding reduces frost resistance of the crop and therefore it can have a bad effect on the plants when there is frost some days after the weeding.
