TrashCutter®
TrashCutter®
A breakthrough in trash and 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.
Traditional mulching methods leave stubble lying on the ground’s surface, making it extremely prone to wind erosion. By using the Trashcutter, more stubble crown remains in the soil which becomes a barrier for shielding cut stubbles. This is the key for retaining your stubble and minimising wind & water erosion.
How the k-line TrashCutter® system works
Due to the fact that the Trashcutter simply cuts & drops, stubble & residue are left evenly distributed over the ground’s surface. This is very important for increasing trash flow through seed drills.
A unique advantage of the Trashcutter is its adjustable disc angle and down pressure, which can be altered for different applications including:
- minimal soil disturbance in zero-till operations
- cutting stubbles
- shallow tillage for chemical incorporation and light weed control
The K-Line TrashCutter® System has been extensively developed by K-Line Agriculture in conjunction with agronomists and farmers requiring a better system for stubble management.
Stubble retention leads to increased microbial activity; resulting in improved retention of moisture, reduced fertiliser requirements and increased carbon content of soil.

TrashCutter® Options
Adjustable disc angle
When operated straight
- Minimum soil disturbance, excellent in zero-tillage applications
- More stubble crown remains in the soil, key for stubble retention & reduced erosion
When operated angled
- 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
