Introduction Hi-Speed Cotton Stalk Puller/Chopper

MAN157 iv 07/06/21

Hi-Speed

Cotton Stalk

Puller/Chopper

Congratulations on your purchase of the

AMADAS Hi-Speed Cotton Stalk

Puller/Chopper (SPC). The SPC is a

patented, uniquely integrated system used

for extracting and chopping up cotton stalks

and their roots.

This system provides you with a significant

advantage over conventional mowing and

discing. The SPC removes each stalk's

entire root system, effectively breaking up

the life cycle of insects and diseases that

overwinter in the remaining stalk and root

usually left behind by shredders and

mowers.

The effectiveness of the SPC lies in the two-

part system that is incorporated into a single

machine. The tandem, shaft-mounted,

heavy-duty turf tires rotate against one

another to grip the stalks, while the forward

motion of the tractor pulls the stalks and

root systems out of the ground and then

releases them. The rotating blade chopping

system at the rear of the machine then cuts

the stalks and roots into small pieces.

The AMADAS Hi-Speed Cotton Stalk

Puller/Chopper is designed to operate at

high speeds and handle the toughest stalks.

The SPC-4 is adjustable for 36", 38", or 40"

row widths; the SPC-6 is adjustable for 36”

or 38” rows.

Benefits

Your AMADAS Hi-Speed Cotton Stalk

Puller/Chopper will provide you with the

following benefits:

•Increased Residue Clearing

Capability. Removes and chops cotton

stalks and their root systems in a single

operation.

•Enhanced Soil Aeration. Double bevel

blade design provides deep soil

penetration.

•High Speed Operation. With the

machine operating within its normal

range of 6-10 MPH, you can easily

cover over 100 acres per day.

•Low Operating Costs. Per acre costs

are minimal, as removal and chopping

processes are completed in one

machine pass.

Features

The following are some of the significant

features of the AMADAS SPC Hi-Speed

Cotton Stalk Puller/Chopper.

Pulling System

For each row, tandem, shaft-mounted, 18"

diameter turf tires rotate against each other

to grip and hold the stalks, while the forward

motion of the tractor pulls the root systems

out of the ground.

Chopping System

Ten, drum mounted, double beveled,

replaceable, hardened steel blades per row

provide linear rotary cutting action.

Total number of blades: 32 (SPC-4); 60

(SPC-6)

Frame

The machine is made up of heavy-duty,

welded box construction with a 6" x 12"

main frame.

Drive System

The entire drive system is ground driven

using heavy duty #80 chain drives, gear

boxes, and telescoping drive lines. With the

pulling wheels driven off of the chopping

rotor, the proper wheel speed is assured

regardless of ground speed. Drive train

safety is provided by a bi-directional ratchet

clutch.
