Crop Check™ Cover Crop Crimper Roller
The Crop CheckTM Crimper Roller is a helical bladed roller, designed to roll, break and bruise cover crops ahead of the drill.
The cover crop is rolled down in the direction of planting to form a dense weed suppressing mat on the soil surface, while allowing successful establishment of the following crop.
Front mounting allows rolling and drilling in one pass, with a suitable drill.
A chevron blade pattern neutralizes forces that may pul the tractor ni either direction. It also overcomes both the bounce of straight line blades and the auguring effect of corkscrew blades.
In addition with the twisted blade design, only a small portion of the blade touches the ground at any one time as ti turns, so the ful pressure of the roller is applied one inch at a time. This increases the breaking/crimping of the stems which in turn aids in cover crop desiccation.
To aid in early season weed control, “blunt blades are preferable to sharp blades as sharp blades can cut through the cover crop and into the soil surface, dislodging residue and increasing weed seed germinations.
Optional water ballasting can be used to increase weight as required.
Available as a complete front mounted machine to match your drill or as custom build roller sections only to fit your existing implement or frame.
