Auscrimper Cover Crop Roller

The Auscrimper Cover Crop Roller is designed to terminate the cover crop at an appropriate time to allow the planting of a second, cash crop. The cash crop is planted directly into the crimped cover crop. This leaves a protective mulch layer, returning the valuable nutrients to the soil and amplifying their productivity through the following growth cycle.

The Auscrimper team have designed, developed and now manufacture a unique and innovative Cover Crop Roller. The Australian designed and manufactured Auscrimper Cover Crop Roller features:

Chevron pattern blades,
A crimping interval of 110 millimetres,
Removable axle,
Simple blade replacement, and…
The drum is able to be filled with water to add extra weight capacity.

The Auscrimper Cover Crop Roller is:

Heavy duty, with built-in weight to handle Australia’s tough cropping and ground conditions,
Designed with unique characteristics, built with longevity in mind,
Robustly engineered machinery designed to your specifications.

Employing the Auscrimper Cover Crop Roller brings you benefits including:

The terminating of a cover crop without chemical spray - meaning chemical free farming,
A new crop can be planted into the crimped down cover crop,
The roller lays down the crop to provide to the ground, a mulch layer.

Importantly this layer of cover crop mulch assists in:

Encouraging the soil health nutrient cycle,
Building and retaining soil moisture,
Feeding the soil microbes, increasing both their diversity and density,
Providing a home and protection for soil microbes
Providing the conditions where the recycling of soil nutrients occur, and…
Keeping soil temperature cooler during summer and warmer during winter.
