Sicma: a specialized range for soil working

A new tool-carrying machine for working between rows of vines and orchards. It is presented at EIMA International by Sicma from Miglianico (Chieti) that widens its range of working soil machinery with this new entry. The latest Sicma machine has been conceived for managing surfaces, crop residues and grassing. It is also designed to optimize weed control, the distribution of crop resources and the supply of organic soil conditioners, fertilizers and minerals.

The machine is available in mechanical (DM) or hydraulic (DH) version, the latter equipped with hydraulically powered operating heads, and is designed for a mechanized approach to weed control. One of Sicma's notable features is the possibility of being fitted with the frame both at the rear and at the front. This enables the machine to optimize the tractor's balance and work in a yard with double equipment. The supporting frame is equipped with telescopic elements with a synchronous opening (on one or both sides) with manual or electro-hydraulic control. Different width ranges are available, allowing for adaptation to orchard inter-row widths. In addition to its new tool carrier, Sicma is also presenting an SPR tiller with a rear mulcher. According to the Abruzzo-based manufacturer, the bed former works the soil in such a way as to create a raised section (mulched) in which vegetables will be grown.

The mulched area can also be used for further work. The mulched size can be customized on request both in terms of height and width. Besides the wide range of machines driven by the tractor's PTO, the Miglianico-based company offers a wide range of devices for passive working, i.e., carried out only by dragging the implement without any moving parts. Among these, the AE2 - 40 external chisel plow, the PH-M 240 subsoiler with Hardox anchors, the GP4-51-160 crusher are worth mentioning.
