ABSTRACT:
A three-point hitch furrow sweep and trash shredder are positioned with the furrow sweep being centered over the furrows for moving stalks onto the ridges where they are acted upon by the shredders. The shredders include a rotor in a housing having a plurality of pivotal hammers which work upon the trash and drive the trash through a perforated screen which reduces the size of the trash particles and returns it to the ground. The furrow sweeps include a pair of coulters in back to back oppositely facing relationship centered over the center line of the furrows or a single coulter for each furrow. The counters may be staggered or positioned in back to back relationship and may be flat or concave in shape.
