ABSTRACT:
A machine for gathering and disintegrating standing, row-planted, trash stems of crops such as cotton, pineapples etc., comprises a frame adapted to be travelled along a row of trash stems and direct them into the nip of rotating resilient rollers in mutual contact. The rollers are mounted on parallel shafts which are tilted so that the upper ends of the shafts are further ahead in the direction of machine travel than are their lower ends; thus, trash stems caught up between the rollers are uprooted and then presented to an array of scissoring blades whereby the stems are cut into short easily-disposable fragments.
