Turbovator Straw Vacuum
 ✖  |
T & F Equipment, Ltd., Lincolnshire, has come up with the Turbovator, a two-barrelled straw vacuum equipped with rotary blades that pick up straw by suction, chopping it into 1-in. lengths and forcing it out the back and down between the stubble. Rows of spring tines and discs behind the choppers lift the soil and bury straw to a depth of 3 to 4 in.
"The blades in the drums create suction that draws nearly 100% of the loose straw up off the ground," explains company representative J.J. Smith. "Four pto-powered, high-speed blades inside the drums chop it up and throw it out the back. The leading edge of the drums runs just several inches above the ground, sucking everything up into it."
