The trade name, Erdvark, has been in existence for about 67 years. The Marais family noticed that in areas where the erdvark (the Afrikaans word for anteater) dug holes, the grain grew much better. They, therefore, developed a plough that worked deeper than existing ploughs and started the factory in Moorreesburg, situated in the Western Cape Province. Around 1990, the factory was sold to the Rossouw brothers and was moved to the Trawal area.

The company manufactures a range of disc ploughs, graders and other agricultural implements. All products are thoroughly tested at the factory. In addition to being sold in the South African market, Erdvark implements are exported to other African countries such as Angola, Botswana, the DRC, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe

The Erdvark CSH Hydraulic Chisel Plough is developed to do minimum-till and stubble land preparations. The unit is developed for tough African conditions. The unit can work up to 500 mm deep. The hydraulic auto-reset has a 10.7 kN breakaway force. The tine and reversible point are capable to break through the toughest plough bank, as well as breaking up years of nitrate build up on the mid clay layers.

The unit is available in a mounted unit and trailed units. A hydraulic coulter system is available. There is a choice of different rollers available on the chisel plough.
