RIDGER

• The ridger is useful in forming ridges and furrows in garden land to facilitate sowing of seeds. Ridger is also known as ridge plough or double mould board plough. The ridger has a wedge shaped share and two mould boards fitted to the share.
• Distance between the mould boards can be adjusted at the back according to the size of furrow desired in the field. Ridger is also used for earthing up operation in row crops like sugarcane. Distance between ridger bottoms can also be altered according to the crop row spacing.
