The Romanesco Straddler

Designed from day one for mechanical weed control, the Romanesco Straddler makes hoeing faster while staying gentle on your crops. Precision hoeing at an early crop stage keeps weed pressure down for the rest of the season. With the hoeing seat, one person can hoe alone, unlike tractor-mounted hoes that need two people.

Need to move your machine quickly from one plot to another? The dedicated side driving position makes it easy to manoeuvre and get around, with maximum visibility and comfortable driving over longer distances.

Growers love how manoeuvrable it is: the Straddler turns on the spot, with no tricky three-point turns. Its compact size also lets it drive straight into your tunnels, making it truly versatile in every season.

The Romanesco Straddler is CE certified (European Conformity, Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC), with the support of a specialist consultancy. You get safe, compliant equipment that protects your staff and gives you peace of mind on your farm.

There's no such thing as too diverse! Our electric Straddler is designed precisely for growers with a wide range of crops, and it also suits PAM growers (perfume, aromatic and medicinal plants), plant raisers, seed producers and nurseries. One tool carrier, a thousand possibilities!

Absolutely! With its height kept to 1.80 m, the Romanesco Straddler is at home everywhere and slips easily under all kinds of protected cropping: 6 or 9 m wide polytunnels, twin-span tunnels, multi-span greenhouses and more. Its tight turning circle also lets it turn round easily at the end of your tunnels, so you don't lose a single square metre of covered growing space.

The Romanesco Straddler comes with a 2-year warranty. An optional extended warranty takes it up to 5 years.

Yes. The Straddler goes almost anywhere thanks to its large, wide agricultural wheels, its low weight and its three-wheel drive. Its chains sit entirely inside the chassis, so mud cannot get into them. Scrapers are available as an option.

Yes, up to 10%: the Straddler is designed to work on slopes of up to 10%, combining slope and side slope.

In most track width configurations, it fits on a standard car transporter trailer. It can also be hitched to a category 2 tractor linkage for road journeys. Road rules vary from one country to another: please check the regulations in your country.

In summer, most users never charge the battery: the solar panel is enough. In winter, some users say they top it up from the mains a few times a month at most.
