ABSTRACT:
An agricultural implement for clearing a field of crop residue after harvest is attached to the linkage of a tractor and serves to cut and shred stalks of plants planted in two parallel rows. It comprises two sheave-shaped rollers on a common axle serving to crush the stalks and to flatten them onto the ground, and two flail-type fast-rotating shredders whose cutter bars cut and shred the stalks pressed on the ground by the rollers, while slightly penetrating in to the soil surface and cutting the upper root portions as well. Each shredder consists of a drum with pivotally attached cutter bars; both shredders are mounted on a horizontal shaft which is driven by the tractor power-take-off through a gear. A casing collects the shredded particles and spreads them on the ground behind the implement.
