STRAWBERRY PLANT MULCH REMOVER CROPS Miscellaneous 23-3-19 Conrady used a variety of parts to put together this one-row "mulch remover" that works like a side delivery rake to knock straw off strawberry plants at the end of winter. He pulls the little machine with his 4-wheeler ATV, which straddles the row.
Spring tines are welded to a small reel made out of steel rod. The reel is chain-driven at one end by a 3 hp Briggs & Stratton engine that mounts on top. The motor is hooked up to a 33:1 reduction gearbox.
The frame of the machine is made from square tubing. It attaches to the cargo rack on the ATV with a couple of brackets. A single caster wheel on back, which came off a Deere cultivator, holds the reel at the proper height to peel straw off the row.
