2021 Orthman Stalk Puller 12 Folding

The Orthman Stalk Puller is the ideal tool to root out last year’s crop residue and provide a residue-free seedbed for planting. This rugged tool uses low tractor horsepower, at high speeds of 10 mph and above, to make short work of large fields.

Depending on the blade cutting angle, the machine can simultaneously pull out remaining crop root balls.

Features may include:

• The stalk puller is the perfect residue management and seedbed preparation tool for multiple crops including corn, cotton, milo and sunflowers. In one pass it removes weeds and crop residue, and dries and warms the soil, for better planter operation, planting stand and emergence.

• All-new, self-lubricating composite greaseless bushings in the row unit parallel linkage eliminate daily maintenance, helping you to stay in the field covering more acres.

• The Stalk Puller features adjustable row unit down pressure allowing for reliable ground contact even in rough conditions.

• The large v-discs cutting angle is adjustable at four different angles of aggressiveness, allowing minimal soil disturbance and only cutting the root crown, all the way to pulling out the entire crop root balls.

• The Orthman Stalk Puller is available in a wide range of implement sizes and toolbar models to meet the needs of virtually any operation. Additional attachments such as rolling choppers and gauge wheels increase the action and precision the Stalk Puller provides. The Stalk Puller’s adjustability and versatility adapt to a variety of field conditions for optimum residue management.

• The solid welded heavy-duty boxed in frame design tightly holds all components in place to guarantee precision operation and maximum cutting power.

• Huge 24-inch ground-driven cutting discs require low HP at operating speeds up to 10 MPH, allowing you to cover more acres with less fuel. To push your efficiency even further, the 24-inch blades are mounted on enormous sealed bearings and the blades are easily reversible for extended life.

• The 5|SP is now available with larger and flatter 28" disks, specifically for cotton. Standard 5|SP models feature a 24" disk for use in corn, soybeans and sunflowers.

• The Stalk Puller can be mounted on any of Orthman’s industry-leading rigid or folding toolbars, featuring wide, precision line-bored hinges for smooth folding and extra-engineered strength.

• Orthman toolbars are designed around the original principles of the Orthman internal cylinder folding toolbar first developed in the 1970s. The toolbar’s innovative internal folding cylinder design allows the toolbar to fold while freeing up peripheral toolbar space that’s wasted in external folding cylinder models.
