Products Description
I & J Cover Crop Roller Standard Widths 8-Ft. (3-Row), 10-1/2-Ft. (4-Row) And 15-1/2-Ft. (6-Row). Custom-Built Sizes
DESCRIPTION
The I & J Cover-Crop Roller Crimper is a game-changer in no-till cover crop management, enabling farmers to prepare fields with minimal chemical input. Designed for organic, sustainable, and conventional farming, this roller transforms dense cover crops like rye and hairy vetch into a weed-suppressing mulch, providing natural weed control and soil conservation. The roller’s chevron-pattern blades are precisely spaced on a 16" diameter core, ensuring effective rolling with minimal soil disturbance.
Farmers can choose from standard sizes up to 15.5 feet, with custom builds available up to 60 feet for large-scale operations. The roller is compatible with various tractor mounts, including three-point hitches and front-end loaders, and even offers a trailing frame for horse-pulled use. An innovative design with fewer moving parts than traditional choppers, it uses only a single cylinder and two bearings, enhancing durability while reducing maintenance requirements.
Key Features
- No-Till Efficiency: Cuts field operations from multiple passes to just one, roll and plant.
- High Knockdown Rate: Achieves up to 90% crop knockdown, ideal for heavy cover crops like rye and vetch.
- Chevron Blade Pattern: Blades are arranged to avoid soil bouncing, maintaining a smooth roll.
- Customizable Size Range: Available from 4' to 15.5' standard, with options up to 60' on request.
- Heavy-Duty Build: 16" pipe diameter with welded, 4" chevron blades for long-lasting performance.
- Additional Weight Option: Fillable with non-freezing liquid to add 75 lbs per foot, increasing crimping efficiency.
- Environmentally Friendly: Reduces or eliminates herbicide use in no-till farming.
- Adaptable Mounting Options: Three-point hitch (Cat II or III), front loader, or optional horse-pulled frame.
