Benefits of technology

[0010]In another advantage of the invention, the stalk eliminator can run as fast as ten miles per hour and successfully chop stalks and roots.
[0011]In another object, the stalk eliminator cylinders operate on bearing affixed to each end of the cylinder and located on the outside of the apparatus for each access and maintenance.
[0012]In another embodiment, the stalk eliminator includes a crumbler attached behind the rear stalk chopper for crushing clods and leveling the field.
[0013]These features and advantages of the present disclosure may be appreciated by reviewing the following description of the present disclosure, along with the accompanying figures wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts.

Problems solved by technology

These several passes cause wear and tear on expensive cotton harvesting machines and require the use of fuel that is costly and harmful to the environment.

Abstract

The stalk eliminator chops stalks, uproots stalks, and re-chops stalks. The apparatus includes a front stalk chopper on a rotating cylinder with angularly attached blades. A plow tool attaches to the apparatus and provides a subsoiler wing behind and under the front stalk chopper. A rear stalk chopper on a rotating cylinder with angularly attached blades follows the plow tool.

Description

PRIORITY CLAIM[0001]The present application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application No. 62 / 858,631 filed on Jun. 7, 2019.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to an agricultural tractor-towed apparatus for eliminating stalks and, more particularly, to such a device having an array of angles blades on a rotating cylinder operating in coordination with a subsoiler wing.BACKGROUND[0003]After harvesting cotton, the stalks are left in the field and require additional processing for removal so that a subsequent crop can be planted. Cotton stalks create residue in areas that need management to suppress pests, such as boll weevil and bollworm, and control soil erosion. The stalks remain after harvesting the cotton crop. Removal before planting the succeeding crop requires the destruction of the stalks. Ideally, producers should destroy stalks immediately after collecting to control insects and diseases. Several pathogens can take hold, such as root rot, in und...
