Ground Driven Stalk Chopper
![]() |
"In some loose soils, the machine provides enough pulverizing action to eliminate one disking operation," explains Glen Truitt, Sales Manager.
Fast operating speed, a lot of weight (2600 lbs.) and ground-driven rotary cutter blades combine to pulverize the stalks and knock down row ridges in corn, soybeans or sorghum fields. Requires a 100 hp or larger tractor.
Currently available in a 4-row model, with a 6-row model slated for introduction soon. The 4-row model is 12 ft. wide overall and is designed for row spacings of 36 to 42 in. The 6-row model is for 28 to 32 in. row spacings. Both models have rotary cutting assemblies in front and directly behind. Each rotary on the 4-row model is equipped with five 28-in. wide blades. Extra weight can be added by attaching "weight pads" to the frame.
