The agricultural industry relies heavily on the use of special machinery to ensure fields are properly prepared for harvesting and livestock is raised successfully. One of the most common types of machines found out in the field is the combine, which helps to efficiently and cost-effectively harvest grain crops. To make this job even easier, Vittetoe, based in Keota, IA, supplies farmers with an innovative attachment tool for combines known as the combine chaff spreader.

This innovative piece of equipment is essential for no-till, ridge-till, or minimum-till agricultural operations. A combine chaff spreader is utilized to evenly scatter the debris that is dispersed from a combine’s sieves, while also smoothly covering the ground with any chaff that wasn’t initially spread out by the chopper or spreader. This helps to prevent issues caused by residue. Having a balanced distribution is important for maintaining consistent temperatures and moisture levels in the soil. The movement of a chaff spreader also gets rid of wet strips that are often prevalent during the spring season so that one-pass planting can be accomplished, and it improves germination and maximizes weed control as well.

Vittetoe has a variety of chaff spreader models available to be shipped, making it simple to find one that will suitably fit onto an existing combine. The tool, which is hydraulic powered, can be installed in a matter of minutes and has a variable speed control.

Combine chaff spreaders are useful in spreading all kinds of crops and can be depended on to perform at the high level needed in the agricultural industry. Contact Vittetoe at (641) 636-2259 to place an order, or visit them online for more information.
