Crop Roller Mounts On Cultivator
Rollers have become popular in recent years as a way to eliminate problems with rootballs, rocks and corn stalks during soybean harvest. They don’t come cheap, though, costing up to $40,000 for a 45-ft. model. A Minnesota company says you can save money by turning your existing row crop cultivator into a roller.
  Tebben Enterprises displayed its new Culti-Roller units at the recent Farm Fest show near Redwood Falls, Minn. Each roller is 16 in. in dia. and made from 1/4-in. thick steel. A clamp-on toolbar mounting bracket mounts on front.
  The idea is to remove the back shanks from the cultivator, and bolt the Culti-Roller units in their place. The crop slides through between the rollers, which are equipped with metal shields on both sides.
  The company offers 2 different Culti-Roller models. A 14-in. wide model is designed for 22-in. rows and uses 10-in. rollers on end rows; the other is a 22-in. wide model that’s designed for 30-in. rows and uses 18-in. rollers on end rows. The 14-in. wide model sells for $591 per unit; the 22-in. wide model for $661 per unit.
