The Rezidue Reaper is a heavy-duty residue management tool designed to be used with a harvester's corn head. Precision-engineered to till as you harvest, the innovative tillage attachment transforms your corn head and combine into a dual-purpose machine. Built to shred residue, the Rezidue Reaper blade aligns precisely with the row of corn, cutting and tilling the root ball zone. This approach lets farmers tackle minimum tillage right from the combine -no tractor needed- while minimizing tire wear, speeding up residue breakdown and improving soil fertility.

​

With modern farming facing no shortages of challenges - rising input and equipment costs, a shrinking workforce, and dealing with vigorous corn hybrids that produce large amounts of residue and hardened root balls - the Sharp Harvest system is designed to help with these challenges while boosting the bottom line and adding efficiency to the farm.

COST SAVINGS BENEFITS

• Eliminate having to own and run a vertical tillage implement

• Implement vertical tillage on every acre without the big price tag

• Reduce fuel, labor, maintenance costs plus save time with fewer tillage passes

• Extend tire and track lifespan, reducing the need for replacement rubber

• No need to invest in expensive automated tractor technology for use with low task tillage applications, since the field is already tilled

• Potential for zone farming (growing row crops in the same zone continuously, establish perennial legume cover crops between rows); this eliminates the need for herbicides, certain fertilizers, and potential for double crop hay income

​

AGRONOMIC BENEFITS​

• Cut and till crop residue with the corn head for efficient residue management, faster residue breakdown and increased fertility

• Enhance microbial activity by slicing root balls and incorporating surrounding soil

• Reduce root ball mass on top of soil surface in conventional tilled fields

• Reduce root ball mass in the soil zone for enhanced strip till and no till farming practices

• Accelerate field readiness for earlier start time of spring field work

• Increased water infiltration by cutting small seems into the soil profile

• Promote sustainability by retaining carbon in the soil and lowering emissions with less tillage passes

​

EQUIPMENT BENEFITS

• Enhance stalk fracturing with precision placed tillage blades, rather than running vertical tillage implements at an angle

• Cut and weaken root ball crowns for unmatched tire wear performance on combines, tractors, sprayers, implements, semis, vehicles

• Compatible with most head carriers in the working position

• Minimal horsepower requirement; 1/2 to 1 HP requirement per row unit depending on ground conditions

• When backing up with row units in the ground, they will roll in reverse, compared to stalk stompers that get bent backwards

• Minimize plugging of nutrient applicators, tillage implements and planters by sizing crop residue

​

FEATURES​

• Razor Sharp Rezidue Reaper Blade: 15-inch diameter, 4.5-inch-wide fluted beveled blade. Uniquely designed to consistently cut stalk rows while maintaining a 3-inch cutting depth. The blade self-cleans by striking stalks, shedding buildup and keeping residue flowing

• Adjustable Coulter Height: 5-position holes allow for precise height adjustment based on header height preference

• Impact Protection: Spring-loaded arm absorbs impacts and allows each row unit to move independently going through variable terrain

• Shear Pin Design: Designed with a shear pin, in case of large impacts, the pin will break away causing no harm to the unit or head

• Transport Mode: A pin hole design allows for the arm to be swung towards the front of the head, locking it in for plenty of clearance

• Sealed Bearing: Featuring an FKL IL50 sealed maintenance free bearing

• Lateral Adjustment: Slots allow the arm to slide left and right for optimal row alignment
