2018 Degelman Strawmaster 70'

The Degelman Strawmaster® is the revolutionary machine designed to tackle enormous straw problems. With 26 inch long tines equipped with tungsten carbide tips placed in five rows, and set in large ten foot wide by six foot deep sections, this machine is at the forefront of modern straw management. The Strawmaster® will shatter straw, control weeds, rake flax straw, and incorporate seed and chemicals.

The patented spring bar technology is at the heart of every Strawmaster®. The simple torsional spring bar design is unlike other heavy harrows, Strawmaster uses a spring bar system that lets you apply downward pressure to the harrow sections as you need it. These twin spring bars allow in-cab hydraulic control by applying pressure from zero to 1900 pounds per harrow section. If you don’t need pressure, just put it in float.

Simply rotate the 8" x 8" beam hydraulically and apply more pressure through the spring bars. Strawmaster works the way you want it to.

Degelman’s tungsten carbide Endura-Tip by Atom Jet is exclusive to Degelman Strawmasters. Significantly increasing the life and performance of your harrow bar, the tungsten carbide tipped harrow tines maintain their original length and shape, resulting in enhanced control and a more consistent field finish.

Under float or under pressure, the harrow sections are designed for flexibility. The spring bars are positioned along the sides of the harrow frame providing an even distribution of pressure to the frame. The spring bars can then flex In response to counter pressure from the land contours with each section rising over hills and falling into hollows.

The primary purpose of the Strawmaster® is to breakup and spread most types of straw residue efficiently. High frequency vibration provides the shattering action for perfect residue control. For most farming practices, speeds of up to 12 m.p.h. can be attained.

The Strawmaster® is quickly becoming the most popular machine for raking flax straw. It can maximize holding capacity by applying pressure through the spring bar control.

The end wheels have been designed with the user in mind. Through a unique parallel linkage, the wheel height is set by a couple of turns of a hand crank. It’s that easy. The optional “Hydraulic Tine Angle Kit” also includes two 2-1/2” x 8” cylinders for hydraulic endwheel adjustment. (Available for Strawmaster 7000 standard models only)

As the angle of the tines is adjusted, the cart and frame should be levelled to correspond. The cart is carried independently by two large 16.5L Softrac II tires and the height is changed by heavy duty ratchets. The optional “Hydraulic Tine Angle Kit” also includes two 3” x 8” cylinders for hydraulic trailer height levelling. (Available for Strawmaster 7000 standard models only)

Incorporation is a natural for the Degelman Strawmaster®. By adding a granular applicator, both granular chemicals and seed are evenly distributed. Built in mounts for herbicide applicators are found on the Strawmaster 7000.
