DESCRIPTION
The Roller-Crimper is a very important tool in the organic no-till process.
Conventional cultivation can have devastating effects on soil. With traditional cultivation techniques, soil is often ploughed several times to create a fine seed bed and control weeds. This will expose soil particles to erosion from wind and rain, destroy humus and result in severe breakdown of soil structure. Repeated passes by heavy tractors and equipment lead to soil degeneration and to the formation of almost impenetrable layers of compacted soil ("hard pan") below the surface.
When soil is compacted and a "hard pan" forms; helpful soil microbes and earthworms are reduced or eliminated, fields/pastures dry out faster, become waterlogged quicker and plant growth is restricted; resulting in lower crop and pasture yields.
With no-till application, crop fields retain important bacteria, experience less erosion & absorb water better. Hay fields can be worked while leaving them smooth. Grass roots remain down - not exposed to sunlight. Cattle/deer/turkeys can remain in worked fields.
The Roller-Crimper is the best equipment suited for managing cover crops in organic no-till.
No matter if your using ATV/UTVs on your wildlife food plots, or large tractors in commercial agricultural operations, Custom Cultipacker equipment can meet your needs.
EQUIPMENT OPTIONS
Depending on your needs, you can choose between a 10" or 16" drum Roller-Crimper.
Either drum size has a 3/8” thick wall and rides on a solid 2” axle. Both have quality greaseable bearings to provide durability and smooth operation.
Our standard blade is 3" wide & 3/8” thick and pre-drilled holes every 8” to facilitate replacement blades.
With any size, the drum has a plug to permit adding/removing water for added weight.
Appx weight:
10" will weigh appx 100lbs per ft dry (135lbs wet).
16” will weigh appx 130lbs per ft dry (220lbs wet).
10” Drum Roller-Crimpers
Our 10” drum Roller-Crimpers work well for smaller tractors & ATV/UTVs. Ranging from 3’ – 7’, they ride on a 1 3/4" solid steel axle that runs the entire length of the drum. The frame is 2 ½” angle iron that is 3/8” thick with extra cross-bracing and laser-cut bearing plates to ensure smooth operation and durability. Quality grease-able bearings & true-pulling frame significantly reduce the drag/load on your ATV/UTV. Available with drop-pin or ball hitch tongue.
16” Drum Roller-Crimpers
Our 16” drum Roller-Crimpers are built on a 4x4” square, or 3x5” rectangular tubing frame. They ride on a heavy 2" solid steel axle & quality grease-able bearings. The extra cross-bracing and laser-cut bearing plates ensure smooth operation and durability. Blades are reinforced with extra bracing.
When extra strength is needed, we offer frames built with 4” x 6” and 6”x 8” tubing.
You can get any size with a 3-pt hitch, pull-tongue, front end loader quick-attach, or any combination for tractors, skid steers, and other equipment.
