Today’s hybrids develop tough stalks that can destroy expensive tires and tracks on equipment. The 5000 Stalk Devastator™ saves tires and tracks by knocking over, stomping, and crushing stalks while leaving them attached, speeding up the cornstalk breakdown process and improving field conditions for spring planting.
Features
Prevents damage to tires, tracks, wires, and hydraulic hoses on combines, trucks, tractors, and implements
Knocks over and crushes stalks for faster decomposition and microbial breakdown of residue
Preserves residue cover, reducing soil erosion and keeping stalks in place in windy conditions
Is quick and easy to install with mounting kits for most corn head models
Features spring-loaded, adjustable down pressure
Solid steel construction ensures reliability and durability
Will not interfere with most head cart trailers
Rollers can be locked up for transport of head or when not in use
