ABSTRACT:
An adapter for use with rotary crop shredders and with a vehicle for towing the shredders. The resulting shredder apparatus is described as having a center shredder, directly behind the vehicle and shredders on each side of the center one. A center coupling assembly makes connections to the towing vehicle and to the center shredder. Extending from the center coupling assembly to each side shredder is a beam. A side coupling assembly connects each side shredder to the corresponding beam. The positions of the side shredders along the beams can be adjusted for best alignment with planted crop rows. The coupling assemblies, by providing considerable freedom of motion for the shredders, enable them to run over irregular ground. At the same time, means have been provided which permit the shredders to be raised for transport to and from a field.
