Sales portal Transform Your Agricultural Practices with the Mandako Stubble Cruncher
Introducing the Mandako Stubble Cruncher, a groundbreaking tool engineered to redefine your field preparation and management. Designed to cut through corn stalks, break down canola stubble, and seamlessly incorporate cover crops, this innovative equipment is a game-changer for modern farming operations. With a robust 4” bolt-on straight blade and incorporating the best features of our acclaimed Landroller design, the Stubble Cruncher stands as the epitome of durability and efficiency.
Why the Stubble Cruncher is Indispensable:
The Stubble Cruncher is not just a piece of equipment; it's a comprehensive solution to the challenges of post-harvest residue management. Leftover crop residue, which traditionally takes months to decompose, can significantly delay spring planting and seeding. The Stubble Cruncher addresses this issue head-on by "crunching" the residue back into the soil, speeding up the decomposition process, and clearing the way for your next crop.
Key Benefits for Farmers:
- Reduced Fertilizer Dependency: By incorporating crop residue directly into the soil, the Stubble Cruncher naturally enhances the soil's fertility, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.
- Enhanced Soil Health: The action of the Stubble Cruncher increases the carbon content in the soil, promoting healthier soil microbiology and structure.
- Improved Water Retention: By breaking down stubble and other residues, it increases the soil's ability to store water, making more moisture available for the next year’s planting.
Core Features:
- 24" Diameter Drum: Maximizes soil contact and residue crunching efficiency, ensuring thorough incorporation of crop remnants.
- 4" Bolt-On Grader Blade: Precision-engineered for cutting through tough stubble and stalks, enhancing the breakdown process.
- 3" Bearings: High-durability bearings ensure smooth operation and longevity under demanding field conditions.
- Narrow Transport Design: Easy transportation between fields with a design optimized for narrow roadways.
- Ductile Cast Knuckles: Adds exceptional strength and durability to withstand the rigors of extensive fieldwork.
- Hydraulic Floating Hitch (Standard): Automatically adjusts to ground contours, providing consistent performance across uneven terrain.
- Dual Rear Wheel Steer Axle (Standard): Offers superior maneuverability and stability, ensuring precise control.
- Beveled Blades: Engineered for efficient and effective cutting, seamlessly integrating residue into the soil.
- Hardened Steel Blades: Built to last, these blades maintain their edge through extensive use, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
- 3/8" Wall Tubing: The robust frame supports the heavy-duty operational demands, ensuring resilience and durability.
Optional Accessories:
- Clevis Hitch Insert: Provides flexibility in attachment, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of towing vehicles.
- Mechanical Acre Counter: A valuable tool for tracking field coverage, aiding in efficient land management and operation planning.
Sizes for Every Need:
- Mini (10', 12', 15', 20'),
- Inline (10', 13', 15', 20'),
- 3-Plex (30', 34', 40')
