The same proven root-separation principle — engineered as a heavy-duty, long-life machine. HB500 wear steel, individual stone protection and a robust oil-bath drivetrain built for real Finnish and Scandinavian conditions.
Request a QuoteRoot Stopper combines a wing-blade cultivator with a high-speed PTO rotor. The goal is simple: cut perennial roots, throw the soil–root mix into the air, and leave the roots on the surface to dry and die — without chemicals.
Strong wing blades slice and loosen the topsoil down to over 20 cm. Couch grass, thistles and other perennial roots are cut free from the soil and prepared for the rotor.
The 1000 rpm HB500 steel rotor throws the whole layer upward. Soil particles fall back first; lighter roots stay airborne longer and land on top of the field surface.
Roots lie exposed, away from moisture and nutrients. Sun, wind and frost dry them out so they lose the ability to re-grow.
The working idea is the same as other root-separating cultivators. The difference is in the engineering: thicker materials, better protection against stones, and a drivetrain designed for continuous heavy use.
Rotor spikes are made from abrasion-resistant HB500 steel with significantly more wear material than typical spring-steel rotors. Longer service life in stony and abrasive soils.
Every rotor leg has its own rubber suspension and shear-bolt protection. A stone hits one tine — the rest of the rotor keeps working. Less downtime, fewer broken parts.
1000 rpm PTO line with torque limiter and disc clutch. Side drive uses a 1″ duplex chain running in an oil bath. Wider models have chain drive on both sides for even power distribution.
