Description

Ridger for Sale in Tanzania

A ridger forms raised ridges and furrows across your field in a single pass. Mounted on your tractor’s three-point linkage, its bodies push soil into even ridges ready for planting. Ridges improve drainage, hold water in the furrows and give roots a deep, loose bed to grow in.

Even Ridges for Stronger Crops

Making ridges by hand with a jembe is slow and tiring, and the results are rarely uniform. A tractor ridger shapes consistent ridges across the whole field, so every row starts on equal terms.

  • Better drainage during heavy masika rains
  • Furrows that capture and hold rainwater in dry areas
  • Easier planting, weeding and harvesting along straight rows
  • Earthing up of crops to support stems and bury weeds

A ridger suits a wide range of crops, including Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, maize, cassava, sugar cane, groundnuts and vegetables. Potato farmers in Njombe, Mbeya and Arusha rely on ridging for healthy tubers, while maize growers in Shinyanga and Tabora use furrows to save moisture. You can also use it to make irrigation channels. Tractors Tanzania has ridgers for sale in Tanzania with two, three and four body options.
