A New Beginning is now available for cotton farmers in any country or any climate on this Planet.  The Cotton Shredder-Bedder can be used anywhere!

Conservation tillage with the Cotton Shredder-Bedder restricts all wheel traffic to the furrow.  This machine digs, extracts, crushes and shreds the entire plant and root system leaving the beds in an aerated condition.  It's ideal for wide-bed or double-row tillage systems. 


Basic machine shown without attachments.

With the optional re-bedding attachment, it can reshape the old beds in the same pass for either wide-bed or double-row.  Mulching of the entire plant increases the organic matter available to the next crop.  Ruggedly built and simple in design, the Cotton Shredder-Bedder has few moving parts. Two and four-row models are available.


2-row model shown here. 4-row model available.

This return to less tillage creates a more sustainable environment in the soil where compaction is eliminated in the growing area, allowing for better water penetration.  Growers are able to enter fields earlier to plant their next crop.

The Cotton Shredder-Bedder passes all plowdown regulations for cotton pests including pink bollworm.  The latest research shows that cultural practices are effective in reducing pathogens such as root-knot nematode in cotton and vegetable crops.  The root systems of cotton plants should be uprooted and shredded, exposing them to sunlight and air for better field sanitation.  This helps reduce the populations of nematodes by destroying their habitat.  Many pests and destructive organisms cannot survive after a thorough destruction of the plant and root system.

One-pass Fall tillage saves:

  • fuel
  • time
  • energy
  • money

Plus, it helps build up the topsoil.  Now, complete cotton stalk and root disposal is possible with the Cotton Shredder-Bedder by Interstate Equipment & Manufacturing Corporation - the conservation tillage machine.  The new approach to Systems Farming for the 21st Century!

But now, are you ready for the Ultimate Tillage System?
