Devastator is the answer to tough corn stalks
Categories: Stalk Roller
"It’s the best purchase we made this year," said Matt Blankenship of Pioneer Seed & Blankenship Farms, referring to the Yetter 5000 Stalk Devastator™. "Today’s corn stalks are so much tougher, but the Devastator was the answer I was looking for to plant into corn stalks."
Matt had previous experience with several types of stalk stompers on his approximately 2,200 acres of corn, but this equipment never lasted more than one season before issues or problems arouse. "I was on the market for something better," he said. When he first contacted Yetter, they didn’t have a Devastator that would fit his Geringhoff folding 12-row corn head, but Matt’s sales representative worked with him to help figure out a solution.
Matt also appreciates that the Devastator saves him money. "Tractor tires are so expensive. A couple years ago, I no-tilled soybeans into standing corn stalks and ruined a set of tires. With the Devastator, stubble damage on my tires is non-existent. The stalks are so bent over so there’s no way they could hurt the tires. The Devastator has worked so well it’s hard to believe anything could be better."
Yetter now offers Devastator models for 6-, 8-, and 12-row Geringhoff, Drago, Claas/Lexion, and AGCO/Gleaner/Challenger/Massey-Ferguson.
