TrashCutter®

K-Line Ag’s TrashCutter® is a breakthrough in trash and stubble management, designed with agronomists and farmers to handle heavy residue in zero and reduced till systems. Its low-disturbance, self-sharpening discs slice and spread stubble into short lengths, creating an even mulch layer that protects the soil surface, reduces wind and water erosion and improves trash flow for more efficient seeding.

A breakthrough in trash and stubble management

Developed in collaboration with agronomists and farmers, TrashCutter® offers an advanced solution for improved stubble management. The advanced design of the Trashcutter® lays the stubble to one side and then slices the stubble with self-sharpening discs into short lengths.

A breakthrough in low-disturbance stubble management

Traditional mulching methods often leave stubble lying on top of the soil. This makes it highly vulnerable to wind erosion. In contrast, the TrashCutter® helps keep more of the stubble crown in the soil, forming a protective barrier that reduces both wind and water erosion.

The TrashCutter® uses self-sharpening discs to cut stubble into short pieces and lay it to one side. This innovative design improves how trash and stubble are managed on the field.

Unlike older methods, the TrashCutter® spreads stubble and residue evenly across the soil. This even coverage helps seed drills work more efficiently by improving trash flow.

Features & Benefits

Even residue spread for better soil protection and seeding performance

TrashCutter® combines aggressive cutting action with low soil disturbance to manage heavy stubble without turning your paddock into a cultivation pass. Adjustable disc angle and down pressure let you fine-tune performance for efficient stubble cutting, shallow tillage for chemical incorporation or light weed control. The self-sharpening discs and even residue distribution help maintain soil cover, support better water infiltration and reduce erosion risk, while the simple, robust design keeps maintenance low and productivity high across a wide range of crops and conditions.

Enhanced Erosion Control

Traditional mulching leaves stubble exposed on the surface, making it prone to wind erosion. The TrashCutter® keeps more of the stubble crown in the soil, forming a natural barrier that protects against both wind and water erosion.

Efficient Stubble Management

Using self-sharpening discs, the TrashCutter® slices stubble into short segments and lays it to one side. This process ensures even distribution of residue across the soil, which improves trash flow and supports better seed drill performance.

Versatile Settings

The TrashCutter® features adjustable disc angles and down pressure, allowing it to adapt to various farming needs:

  • Minimal disturbance for zero-till farming
  • Effective stubble cutting
  • Shallow tillage for chemical incorporation and weed control

Hydraulic disc gang adjustment coupled with accumulator system

The TrashCutter® offers on-the-run down pressure adjustment for maximum cutting performance, even in challenging conditions. Its accurate contour-following ability makes it ideal for rough and uneven terrain, ensuring consistent results across all soil types.

Design simplicity & easy transport in under 1 minute

The TrashCutter® is built with a simple design that’s easy to set up and pack down in less than 1 minute. This machine requires little maintenance, helping reduce time spent in the field. Its heavy-duty bearings offer longer life and minimal downtime, while the narrow transport width makes road travel easy and convenient.

    Options

    TrashCutter® options make it easy to match the machine to your farming system. Disc angle and down-pressure adjustments allow you to tailor the level of soil disturbance to suit zero-till, reduced-till or light incorporation work, while hydraulic gang adjustment and accumulator systems help maintain consistent cutting depth and protect the machine in tough country. These flexible settings let you optimise residue sizing, spread and finish in different crops and stubble loads, so you can achieve better paddock preparation in fewer passes and get the most value from your investment.

    Adjustable disc angle:

    Straight Operation

    • Minimum soil disturbance, excellent in zero-tillage applications
    • More stubble crown remains in the soil, key for stubble retention & reduced erosion

    Angled Operation

    • Gives ability to do a shallow working of the soil, encouraging germination of weeds for maximum spray-out before winter seeding (running it angled)
    • Excellent for application of pre-emergent chemicals
