Inter-row tilling machines - an investment that regenerates the soil and solves problems

In the world of agriculture, there is often talk of sustainability, respect for the soil, and reduction of chemical treatments. One way to eliminate the use of herbicides and allow the soil to improve its structure and capacity to retain moisture is the constant use of inter-row tilling, an alternative to chemical weeding, as well as a valid tool for soil regeneration that pays back the investment over time.

BFM Italy, a Piedmont-based company that designs and builds automatic inter-row solutions, sold around 400 of them worldwide in 2024. There are three main models available (B1, B3, B4), which differ according to the size of the client company and the type of soil.

"We have been advancing entrepreneurial and agronomic values and concepts for over sixty years, ever since our predecessor Baiano designed the world's first inter-row tilling machines, now under the BFM brand, one of the first mechanical solutions for inter-row management. Since then, we have continued to evolve, refine, and improve that machine, always keeping the true needs of farmers at the centre. Today, the BFM inter-row tilling machine is a concrete tool for those who want to work sustainably, efficiently, and with the utmost respect for the soil and the environment. It is not just a machine that eliminates weeds; it is a tool that works in depth," explains Fabrizio Bertoluzzo, owner of the company that designs and manufactures agricultural machinery.

The BFM inter-row tilling machine:

Works with millimetre-precision around stumps, without damaging the plants;
Promotes soil aeration;
Stimulates microbial biodiversity;
Improves water infiltration;
Counteracts compaction and supports natural soil regeneration.

One of BFM Italy's main objectives is to provide reliability and durability. "Our machines, built 30 years ago, can still be found on different continents, and they are still doing their job very well. Our machines are made with strong materials and a structural construction method to ensure their sturdiness. They are also tested to last. They require minimal maintenance and can guarantee years of work even under demanding conditions. We are not the ones who say this, it is our customers who confirm it to us, year after year."

"In our case, customers do not simply buy a machine. Before each sale, we carry out a specialised and specific consulting service to understand the actual problem that needs to be solved, the actual needs of the company, the characteristics of the plants, the type of terrain, and the operating conditions. Only in this way can we provide the right machine, in the right configuration, truly tailor-made for the farm."

The BFM tilling machine is highly customisable: it can work with medium and low-power tractors, adapt to narrow or wide rows and hilly or difficult terrain, and is configured according to the plant and the needs of each customer. "Now more than ever, I am convinced that agriculture needs concrete, non-standardised solutions. We need tools that are reliable, functional, designed to last, and that solve actual problems."
