Head Strip-Tiller Invents Tillage Attachment for Combine Corn Head
Walnut, Ill., strip-tiller Tanner Schoff recently invented and began selling the Rezidue Reaper, a tillage attachment for combine corn heads. “I came up with it because of how we farm in our operation,” Schoff tells Ogle County Life. “We do a lot of strip-till and no-till, so we’re never really managing stalks or root balls because we’re always tilling in between the rows. I knew there had to be a better way to manage the root balls and stalks, which just led to the concept of lining up a blade with your stalks on your corn hea to be able to manage those rows of corn.”
